SEO audit
Every story, ready for Google and ChatGPT
News Factory audits every story and shows exactly where it falls short: the keywords it's missing, a weak title, no internal links. Then the AI drafts the fixes, adjusting the story just slightly so your premium keywords fit naturally. Preview each one in place and apply it with one click.
- Four checks, one score
- One-click fixes
- Your premium keywords, in every story
How it works
Every story checked, every fix drafted
Open a story's SEO tab and run an audit. It checks four things: on-page SEO, your keywords, internal links, and how ready the story is for answer engines like ChatGPT. You get a score out of 100, and every check behind it, so you know exactly why.
For what it finds, the AI drafts the fix. You see the change in the story before anything is saved, apply it with one click, and the story is measured again.
The four checks
What the audit looks at
Each check has its own score and its own fixes. The examples come from the real run in the video, and each card jumps to its moment.
- Open any story
- Go to the SEO tab
- Run an audit
On-page SEO
Title, meta description, slug, headings and images. Every check is ranked by impact and by the work it takes, from one click to a manual edit, and you see how the story looks in search right now.

Your keywords
The keyword matrix: your premium keywords on one side, every place they count on the other. Green, it's already there. Amber is the fix the AI has drafted: one phrase, reworded so the keyword fits naturally. If it would read like spam, it leaves it out.

Questions
The SEO audit, answered
What does the News Factory SEO audit check?
Four things, each with its own score: on-page SEO (title, meta description, slug, headings and images), your keywords, internal links to and from your other stories, and how ready the story is for answer engines like ChatGPT (direct answers, questions, entities and schema). You also get an overall score out of 100.
Which plans include the SEO audit?
The Pro, Business and Enterprise plans include the quality check, the SEO audit and its automatic fixes.
What are premium keywords?
The SEO keywords you set for your Topic Workspace. The keyword matrix shows each one against every place it counts: the title, headline, intro, subheadings, body, meta description, image alt text and slug, and drafts a fix where one is missing.
Will the fixes change what my story says?
No. Each keyword fix rewords one phrase so the keyword fits naturally, and you preview it in the story before you apply it. If a keyword would read like spam, the audit leaves it out.
How does it help with ChatGPT and other answer engines?
It drafts what answer engines look for: a clear, direct answer, question headings, an FAQ, and named entities such as people and organizations, so your story is easy to quote.
Where do the internal links come from?
From your own archive. The audit searches everything you've already published, finds the stories closest in meaning, and picks the exact phrase to link from. Older stories nobody links to get flagged too.
Can the audit run on its own?
Yes. Add the SEO step to your agentic workflow and every new story is audited and fixed automatically, so it reaches your site already optimised for search and AI answers.
Put your premium keywords in every story
The SEO audit and its one-click fixes come with the Pro, Business and Enterprise plans. Run it on any story, or put it on autopilot in your workflow.
