Overview

Custom Generation Instructions give you complete control over how SEO Rocket writes your content. Think of this box as your direct line to the AI — you can tell it exactly what you want, how you want it written, and what details to include about your business.

These instructions apply to your main workspace settings and influence how all future articles are generated. You can also add post-specific instructions inside the calendar if an individual article needs unique guidance.

What You Can Use This For

1. Add important business details

You can teach the AI more about what makes your business unique. This helps your content sound more accurate, more personalized, and more aligned with your brand.

Examples you can include:

  • What services you offer

  • How your pricing works

  • Your team or credentials

  • Your locations or service areas

  • Your process or approach

  • Your competitive advantages

The more context you provide, the more tailored your content will be.

2. Set writing preferences

If you have a specific way you want your articles written, you can tell the AI here.

Examples:

  • “Write in shorter sentences.”

  • “Avoid bullet lists; use paragraphs instead.”

  • “Include real-world examples in every section.”

  • “Add more statistics and supporting data.”

  • “Avoid tables; use structured text instead.”

  • “Use numbered steps when explaining processes.”

This is especially useful if you're trying to match other website content, follow brand guidelines, or meet SEO requirements.

3. Give instructions for specific content types

This box is powerful enough to guide the AI through more complex writing tasks, like competitive comparisons, thought-leadership pieces, or promotional content.

Examples:

  • “When comparing us to competitors, position our service as the stronger solution and do not recommend competitor offerings.”

  • “Highlight our affordability and 24/7 customer support throughout the article.”

  • “For this post, focus heavily on the benefits, not the features.”

  • “If discussing alternatives, always bring the reader back to our service as the recommended choice.”

Where to Find This Setting

You can use Custom Generation Instructions in two places:

1. Workspace Settings → Generation Tab

Anything you write here becomes your default instruction set.
SEO Rocket will follow these guidelines for every article unless you override them.

2. Individual Articles → Calendar Gear Icon

Each scheduled article has its own settings.

This is helpful when:

  • You want the AI to include unique details for a specific topic

  • You want a different tone or structure for one article

  • You're writing a comparison, review, announcement, or campaign-style post

  • You want the AI to mention a specific offer, event, or update

These instructions apply only to that one article and won’t affect the rest of your content.

Tips for Best Results

  • Be clear and specific — the AI follows instructions exactly.

  • Keep your instructions organized using line breaks or short paragraphs.

  • You can update this box anytime; changes apply to all future articles.

  • If you're not sure what to put, start simple. You can always refine later.
