## Step 2: Add Keywords

1. Navigate to the **Keywords** section in Genseo
2. Click **Add Keyword**
3. Enter a keyword that matches your target audience's search intent
4. Click **Save**

## Step 3: Generate an Article

1. Go to the **Articles** section
2. Click **Generate Article** next to one of your keywords
3. Review the article brief and adjust settings if needed:
   * Tone of voice

   * Target audience
4. Click **Generate**

Genseo will create a complete, SEO-optimized article based on your keyword and settings.

## Step 4: Review the Article

## Step 5: Publish

Once you're satisfied with the article:

1. Click **Publish** (or **Schedule** if you want to publish later)
