  2. Set the audience location, then let Smart Select weigh relevance, traffic and authority, or fix a DA tier.

  3. Add the page to support, the brand or expert background and anything to avoid. A brief is optional; we research the angle.

  4. Enable Generate Quotes, Custom Quotes, Custom Images, Citation URLs or Context Terms where the article supports them.
