8-Stage Content Pipeline

Understand how SlopAds transforms keywords into published articles through our automated pipeline

Every article in SlopAds goes through an 8-stage pipeline designed to maximize SEO performance and content quality. Here's what happens at each stage.

Total Processing Time

A typical article takes 80-150 seconds to complete all 8 stages, depending on content length and complexity. Bulk campaigns process multiple articles in parallel for faster throughput.

The 8 Stages

Stage 1: Keyword Research

5-10 seconds

Analyze target keyword and identify related terms and search intent

What Happens

AI analyzes your target keyword to understand search volume, competition, and user intent. Identifies related keywords and LSI terms to include in the content.

Output

Keyword list with search intent classification

Stage 2: Topic Generation

10-15 seconds

Generate article title, outline, and content angle based on keyword analysis

What Happens

Creates compelling titles, generates content outline with H2/H3 headings, and determines the best angle to approach the topic based on top-ranking content.

Output

Article title, meta title, and detailed outline

Stage 3: Content Creation

30-60 seconds

Write full article following the outline with natural flow and depth

What Happens

Generates complete article content following the outline. Includes introduction, body paragraphs, examples, and conclusion. Maintains consistent tone and style.

Stage 4: Metadata & Schema

5-10 seconds

Generate SEO metadata, excerpt, and structured data markup

What Happens

Output

Meta description, excerpt, slug, schema markup

Stage 5: SEO Optimization

10-15 seconds

Optimize keyword density, readability, and heading structure

What Happens

Reviews and optimizes keyword placement, checks readability scores, ensures proper heading hierarchy (H1→H2→H3), and adds strategic keyword variations.

Output

SEO score, optimization report, keyword density analysis

Stage 6: AEO Enhancement

10-20 seconds

Add FAQ sections, glossary terms, and answer engine optimizations

What Happens

Generates FAQ question-answer pairs, defines key terms in glossary format, and structures content for AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.).

Output

FAQ section, glossary definitions, structured answers

Stage 7: Internal Linking

5-10 seconds

Stage 8: Auto-Review

5-10 seconds

Final quality check before publishing

What Happens

Output

Quality score, issue list, publication readiness
