Metadata and featured image
Choose SEO & Metadata in the editor’s top bar, then the Metadata tab.- Fields: the fields your organization’s articles carry, such as Meta title, Category and Tags, plus any custom fields. They come from your CMS mapping, or from your organization’s Article fields when no CMS is connected. Custom fields that every article needs are marked Required.
- Categories and tags come from your connected CMS. A value that isn’t in the CMS’s list is flagged, for example “This category is not in the synced CMS list.”
- Featured image: when your fields include one, choose Choose from Library, or Browse Files to upload a PNG, JPG or WEBP. Then fill in the image details your CMS takes, such as Alternative text, Caption, Image title and Description. Required ones are marked with *. Remove image takes it off.
- Article info: created and updated dates, author, CMS, status, categories, tags and word count.
- Publish history: the latest send to your CMS, with its result (Succeeded, Failed or Partial success) and links to Open in CMS and Edit in CMS.
Readiness checks
The SEO and AEO tabs of SEO & Metadata check the article while you work on it. Weelkit checks again after every save, and the editor saves as you type, so the checks keep up with your edits. Each tab’s label counts what needs fixing, for example SEO (3). A new article is checked once it’s saved.SEO
The SEO tab shows how many checks pass, for example “18 of 22 passed”, with the failed checks first. Each check shows Passed, Failed, Suggestion or Not checked. Checks that can only run on the live page are grouped under Checked after publishing. Open a failed check to see what to do. Choose Fix with AI to put a ready-made request for the fix in the chat box; review it, then send it. The SEO tab also covers your organization’s editorial rules. The AEO tab’s AI check judges them, so when the article has changed since, they show Out of date. Choose Check again.AEO
The AEO tab shows how ready the article is for AI answers:- AEO readiness: a score out of 100 and the AEO checklist. Like the SEO checks, it updates as you edit.
- AI check: an AI review of how AI engines are likely to see the article. It shows the Main question the article answers, Competing coverage (pages already answering that question, rated Good chance, Some chance, Hard to win or Unknown), and what to fix. It runs by itself when someone who can edit the article opens the panel and there’s no current result, and takes up to a minute. When the article changes, the result shows Out of date: choose Run again. If it hasn’t run yet, choose Run check.
To fix
Choose To fix in the top bar to see what’s left to do on the article. The badge counts the open items. Each item is one of:- Failed check: an SEO or AEO check that fails.
- Suggestion: a check that could be better.
- Opportunity: something the published article’s results point to, such as a search query that ranks just off page one, or readers who leave quickly.
- Choose Fix with AI to put a request for the fix in the chat box.
- To set an item aside, open its ⋯ menu and choose Dismiss. Dismissing hides it for everyone, and it stays dismissed. Dismissed items are listed under Dismissed. You need edit access to dismiss.
Send to your CMS
The CMS button is at the right of the editor’s top bar. Its label follows the Default status an admin chose in CMS settings:
A line under the top bar repeats the default, for example “Saved CMS default: Draft (unpublished).” Weelkit saves your latest edits before it sends. The result shows under the button, with a link to the item in your CMS, and in Publish history.
An article over the body size limits stays Not saved and cannot be sent. Your previous saved version stays available.
The first send creates the article in your CMS. What later sends do depends on the CMS setting When the article already exists: Always update existing updates the same item, and Always create a new item creates another one.
With Ask before updating, a later send opens Update CMS article and asks, “This article is already in your CMS. Update it?” Choose Open existing CMS item to inspect it when the link is available, then Update article to send the saved version prepared for this request. Edits made after that request need another send. Cancel leaves the CMS item unchanged.
The result says Updating… while the confirmed update is being sent, and Updated only after the CMS update succeeds. A failed send or an unconfirmed outcome stays visible; it isn’t shown as Updated. An update result is separate from the article’s Draft or Published status below.
When the button is greyed out, point at it to see why:
- CMS not connected: no CMS is connected, or its setup isn’t finished. An admin connects it in Organization settings → CMS; the Integrations tab of these docs explains each destination.
- Edit access required: you can’t edit the article, or you’re viewing an older version.
- Choose Draft or Published in CMS settings, Save the article first or Sign in again: do what it says.
Article status
An article’s status shows next to its title in the editor, and in the Library:
The status follows your CMS. You publish, schedule or unpublish in your CMS, and Weelkit picks up the change:
- When you open an article, Weelkit checks it with your CMS. Point at the status to see when it was checked, for example “Checked just now”.
- In the background, Weelkit keeps checking every article it sent: every few minutes right after a send, then less often as the article gets older. A scheduled post is checked again when it’s due to go live.
- If your CMS can’t be reached, the status stays as it was, and the status says so.
