Article Workflow Status

In SEO Rocket, every article goes through a clear, step-by-step workflow from creation to publication. These statuses help you understand exactly where each article is in the process — whether it’s queued for generation, in progress, or already live on your website.

Each status updates automatically, so you can monitor progress right from your calendar without needing to refresh or open separate pages.

Understanding Article Statuses

Queued

When you add a keyword to your calendar, it enters the Queued stage. This means the article is waiting for its scheduled date to begin generation.

You can:

• See how many queued articles you have at the top of your calendar under the “You have X Queued Articles” message.

• Rearrange queued articles by dragging them to new dates.

Once the generation date arrives, SEO Rocket automatically begins writing the article.

Generating

The Generating status means SEO Rocket is actively writing your article. During this stage:

• You’ll see the card labeled as Generating in your calendar.

• The article cannot be opened or edited yet.

• You can navigate to different pages within the app without disrupting the generation process.

This phase includes AI writing and structuring the full blog post based on your keyword and tone settings.

Processing

The Processing status begins right after the writing is complete. This is when SEO Rocket enriches your article with:

• Relevant images and videos

• Optimized SEO metadata

• Internal linking and SEO scoring

Like the Generating stage, the card is not yet clickable. Once all optimizations are done, the article automatically moves to Generated.

Generated

The Generated status means your article is complete and ready to view.
At this point, you can:

• Click on the article card to open it in the Editor

• Review, edit, or enhance your content manually

• Choose to publish it immediately or let SEO Rocket auto-publish if enabled

This is the first stage where your article is fully accessible and editable.

Published

When your article is published, it reaches the Published status.
This happens automatically if:

• Your CMS (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or Wix) is connected

• Auto-Publish is enabled in your integration settings

If auto-publishing is turned off, the article remains in the Generated stage until you manually publish it from within the editor.

Once published, the article is live on your website and remains editable inside SEO Rocket.
If you make updates in the Editor and click Save, those changes are automatically pushed to the published version on your connected CMS — no manual updates required.

Workflow Summary

Tips for Managing Workflow

• Plan Ahead: Keep your queue filled so articles are always ready for generation.

• Monitor Progress: Use the color-coded statuses in the calendar to see where each article stands at a glance.

• Edit Strategically: Make manual adjustments during the Generated stage before publishing.

• Stay Connected: Enable CMS integrations for automatic publishing and smoother scheduling.

The Article Workflow Status system in SEO Rocket keeps your content creation organized, transparent, and on track — from the moment you schedule a keyword to the second it goes live.
