SEOForge vs SEOWriting.ai

Hey everyone. Today we're reviewing SEOWriting.ai. If you don't know me, my name is Alex and I bring over 10 years of experience in SEO and more recently AI search as well. I've actually used SEO as the main growth channel for two of my previous startups. One of the startups was a B2B platform that I've scaled from 0 to over 1.5k customers and another B2C app that I've scaled from 0 to 250,000 plus users. I'm actually going to go ahead and sign up to SEOWriting.ai so you can see exactly how the platform works and what it has to offer so you don't have to waste your time before you try it yourself. I'm actually going to go ahead and sign up. Right. That was like super quick. I signed up with Google and it took me like 10 seconds for me to be inside the platform.

There's no onboarding whatsoever. And I see they have four pages right here and I see they have a free plan and wow, $19 per month for 50 articles. I would be so curious to see the quality of those articles because that is very cheap on a per-article cost basis. So yeah, that's wow. Okay, well, let's see one of the articles. Right, let's go ahead and create one of the articles. Main keyword. Let's just say Healthcare Automation. Let's generate the title since they're so generous to offer us this feature: “How Healthcare Automation Improves Patient Care Today.”

I think this title is a bit generic and I would have expected it to generate a title by looking at the other websites that rank for this. So if you copy this keyword and then you take it to Google and then you type it in and you see the top, let's say 10, 20 results and then you realize what are the different intents? What is ranking there? Maybe the top result is like a listicle, maybe the next one is a homepage of a company. So you need to analyze and see what's the intent of this search. What's Google serving to people? Now? Let's see, they have core settings here. Article type. Let's just have. I would say this is a how-to guide. Article size, medium. Tone of voice, professional.

AI model, that's quite interesting. They offer quite a few AI models here. Let's just go with the default. I'm not sure which one will be best in this case given their, you know, workflows and intelligence behind it. Brand voice. I have not actually created one. Details to include. Media hub: generate three images here. SEO keywords to include in the text structure. Conclusion. Okay, so there's a lot of settings here which is both good and bad. Good because you can really customize your articles and bad because you know, it takes time to actually go through all of them and customize them.

Okay. And target website. So I actually need a WordPress plugin here. So I would not be able to publish. Let's just generate an article, see what it creates. And while it does that, I was so curious I saw the rewriter tool. So I think this is super, super interesting and I think it can be useful. From our own research in SEO and AI search articles right now are actually getting good performance for, you know, anywhere between like a few months to a year. But I really recommend freshening up an article at least let's say every six months, but don't leave it longer than a year.

And the reason why this is happening is because search engines, the way the algorithms are changing, they're looking to serve to users fresh information all the time, new information, information they don't have in their training data. so if your article has been there for a long time, it's very likely that that information is already in the search engine training data. So, you know, it's not so useful. And this is why, I really recommend that the data shows that performance over time starts to go down slowly. So I recommend refreshing, freshening articles every six months. Max, max every year. So I like this tool. I think it can be super useful. The only downside that I see is you actually need to input all your text.

So you can't just give it a URL and have it take that text automatically. What's this? Docs? No docs yet. Voices. This is where you can create your brand voice. I think that can be quite useful. Super page. What is a super page? Okay, I mean top 10, let's say healthcare automations in 2026. Let's just do that and see what happens.

And then I see news. They've just launched this, it's like their changelog. That's quite interesting. Nice. I've not actually seen other products have this. This is quite cool. I see. Then they have a roadmap here. So people can recommend features and so on. Okay. And then, okay, the article is actually finished. Let's see what it created. So I see it's got the H1. I don't see a meta title or meta description right at the top, but that's fine.

Now this is an AI generated stock image. I'm personally not a fan of those and the data backs me up here. So if your user or your human reader realizes that this is an AI generated stock image, it will make them believe that the whole article is AI generated and they're more likely to bounce. So this is what in my experience the data has been showing. So it's absolutely fine to generate the whole article with AI, but if you're giving off signs that this is AI generated, people are more likely to leave. So it's the same with the EM dash, right, the long dash. If people see that, they'll just assume this is AI generated. So yeah, I love the key takeaways here.

I think this is super important because when you include unique data, unique insights, something that you know is not so present in search engine training data, it's actually shown from our research that you're way more likely to be cited. So when you include unique data in the top 500 words of a webpage, that information is way more likely to be cited. And then I see there's an H2 followed by H3s, a table. I like this, a quote. This is good. If it's accurate. Perfect. I see a table again. Another AI generated stock image.

Again, I'm not the biggest fan. Another one, the third one because we chose three images and then see it created some steps, a conclusion. That's good. FAQ with H3s. That's good. The things that are obviously missing here is there's no external sources whatsoever and no internal linking either. So it's not internal linking to any website since I couldn't provide one to it. But also there's no external sources and because of that there's no sources or references section at the bottom. So from our research we've noticed that both human readers and AI bots that crawl your website, they really love seeing a blog post that's structured like a research paper to show that there was genuine research put into this blog post.

And the one thing that we do is at the end of each blog post we include the sources section. And the reason we do that is because we want to show both people and AI that hey, there's actual research that went into creating this article. Now another thing that I recommend is if someone comes all the way down to your, you know, to the bottom of your article, you need to drive them along the funnel. So right here person can come up to this point and just leave the website. But if you had a section that says here's how you can leverage, you know, healthcare automation for your practice today, and then you took them, you had like a CTA button, like an actual button that took them to your homepage or your service or feature page, then you'd be able to actually hopefully drive those people down the funnel and then convert them to being customers to a demo call, whatever it is that your target action is.

So I think this is what's missing here, the external sources, and the sources section as well. And also the one thing that personally I don't like in terms of how this article is structured is that it's just a blob of text. Like, there's no data, no charts, nothing unique. It's just this feels to me as if I was to prompt ChatGPT five times, and then it give me this, like, just a lot of text thrown at me, and that's okay. And I think this is not good. And personally, I don't think this ranks. And the reason why is because if you're not bringing anything unique or interesting right now to the table, it's most likely already in the training data.

It's most likely that someone else already wrote a version of this because AI tends to, you know, just rewrite same information over and over again. So personally, I wouldn't publish this on my blog post without heavy editing and also adding some unique information. Unique data. you know, my opinion, maybe, and this data can come from anywhere, like podcasts, other research papers. So places where the AI doesn't typically look at, you know, because, for example, if you use, let's say ChatGPT or Gemini or Claude, most of the sources that you see are from, like, other websites, from Medium, from Reddit, but no one is actually looking into, you know, other research papers.

No one is looking into podcasts, into YouTube video transcripts, anything like that. So I think that's where, you know, a lot of unique information lives in right now. And of course, there's also business information. So let's say that, I don't know, you're selling a service or a feature to can be anyone, like families in the UK or in the US or nurses, let's say nurses. And you had. You maybe met 15 nurses in the past three months, and 40% of them reported that. I don't know. this activity takes them a lot of time. That's a unique insight right there that you can include in your articles that most likely no one else has.

Right? Because it's your business, it's your unique experience, and this is great. I think that's a great piece of information you should include. And, I think this is what will make your article and your website and your brand stand out from your competitors and everyone else on the market. So now I think this is the perfect moment when I can introduce you to the platform that I've been building. It's called SEOForge.ai, and I'd love to show you how it works. And like I've mentioned in the beginning of the video, I'm the founder of SEOForge.ai and I've taken my 10 plus years of experience in SEO and applied them to the platform so you can get the most value out of it.

I would love to show you how it works. So first of all, the main difference between SEOForge.ai and SEOWriting.ai is the fact that we actually generate a full content plan for you for the next three months. We don't just show you the next five articles we'll write for you. That's just random keyword targeting and that just doesn't work anymore. But what we actually do is we build topic clusters. So. You give us your website, we identify 600 keywords that are high intent for your business, and then we use those 600 keywords to actually create, let's say 90 to 100 or 120 article ideas. And we group those article ideas into topic clusters, meaning there will be a specific strategy and plan as to how we do internal linking between those articles, what external articles and sources will link to, and so on.

And now let me show you exactly how an article that we generate looks like. So this is one of the article examples that we've generated for this website in the AI, healthcare space. And you can see here, I mean the article is just way more comprehensive. We don't like using stock images or a generated stock images. We like creating charts, infographics, things that people will find super useful. And also they will help you get more traffic from people who are searching for images to use in presentations, social media posts or anything like that. These are really valuable images. It's not just, you know, fluff placeholder images.

And then we realized from our research that LLMs, AI search engines like Claude and ChatGPT, they usually cite the information from the top 500 words of each web page. So if you want to get more traffic from AI search, which actually is shown to convert at a way higher rate, you will need to include your key insights, data, unique perspectives in the top 500 words of each blog article. So this is why every article comes with a key takeaway section where we do exactly this. And this has worked amazing for some of our customers who are actually getting confirmed,

incredibly more AI citations than before. Our articles also come fully optimized for SEO and GEO with meta descriptions, meta titles and featured images. Like I mentioned, we don't like creating fluffy images. Every image is on brand and provides actual value. So you can get more traffic from Google, image search and other sort of image search engines. And every article also comes with an FAQ section so you can capture more intent from that keyword. So let's say if in this case the main keyword we target is healthcare AI platform, well, someone will just search on Google healthcare AI platform, someone will search.

What is the best healthcare AI platform? Someone will search, how do you handle AI safety in healthcare platforms? So in order to capture all those intents and all those queries together, this is exactly why we have the FAQ section. Because the FAQ section helps capture and target all those queries around the main keyword. And apart from that, we don't just have an FAQ section, right? We have more than that, we have a sources section. So the sources section shows that this article was actually thoroughly researched and it's not just some AI slop and fluff, that was just generated, but there has been some actual thinking and reasoning behind this article.

And this is super useful because it shows traditional search engines, AI search engines and human readers that hey, the team behind this article actually did thorough research and they came up with a good article. It's not just fluff and we also like to include, just above the Sources section, a CTA section. And I think this is super important. And most people actually skip this. But imagine that someone comes, reads most of your article, or skims to read, goes all the way to the bottom of the page, and you do nothing with that. I mean, will you just let them leave the website and go to someone else? Go to, potentially one of your competitors? No, you should have a clear CTA section.

And the catch here is that the CTA section in each article needs to be contextual to that article. Because if a person comes and searches for the best healthcare platform, you specifically need to have your CTA section. Talk about that and what makes you the best platform and the best solution for what they're looking for. And I mean, the results speak for themselves. We have the website here that's about AI healthcare automations. And as you can see, using SEOForge.ai, it managed to get 2.6K AI citations, as confirmed by Bing Webmaster Tools from Microsoft Copilot in the past three months.

I mean, that's just incredible. 2.6K citations, in fact. Just because I know the customer, they've managed to drive over 80 leads from this alone. And it doesn't just stop here. We also track their Google search console, and as you can see, in three months as well, they've managed to drive over 300 clicks and 56,000 impressions with an average position of seven. So if you can imagine, their blog articles are actually ranking on the first page of Google after three months, after just registering their domain in a very competitive space. This is super, super amazing. And So like I mentioned before, the platform is called SEOForge.ai. We're a super small team and we're trying to build something incredibly valuable.

This is why our article generator doesn't just take the top performing Google search results, it actually scans for public databases, for data online. It collects that data, it looks at research papers if it needs to. It tries to find unique insights, unique perspectives, unique data in different places, brings all of that together using our research agent, and then creates a deeply researched and just insightful and interesting article for both human readers and AI agents.
