How to Generate AI Blog Posts for Shopify: Complete Guide

Creating high-quality, SEO-optimized blog content for your Shopify store can be incredibly time-consuming. Between keyword research, writing engaging articles, and designing eye-catching featured images, a single blog post can take hours to produce.

GoodySell AI SEO Blog changes everything. This powerful Shopify app uses artificial intelligence to generate complete, SEO-optimized blog posts with custom featured images — all in under ~2-3 minutes. In this guide, we'll walk you through every step of creating your first AI-generated blog post.

What Is AI SEO Blog and Why Does It Matter?

AI SEO Blog is a Shopify application that leverages advanced AI technology to:

• Generate keyword-optimized content that ranks well in search engines

• Create custom featured images that match your article's theme

• Support 15 languages for international stores

• Save hours of work on each blog post

Why Blogging Matters for E-commerce

• SEO Benefits: Blog posts help your store rank for more keywords, driving organic traffic

• Customer Education: Articles help customers make informed purchasing decisions

• Brand Authority: Regular, quality content establishes you as an expert in your niche

The Problem: Creating quality blog content is time-consuming. A typical 1,500-word article with research, writing, editing, and image creation can take 4-6 hours.

The Solution: AI SEO Blog reduces this to under 2 minutes while maintaining quality and SEO optimization.

Step 1: Install the App and Choose Your Plan

First, install GoodySell AI SEO Blog from the Shopify App Store.

After installation, you'll be taken to the app's home screen. Here you can see your current plan and usage.

Available Plans

Pro Tip: Start with the Free plan to test the app, then upgrade when you're ready to create more content.

Step 2: Start Creating Your First Article

On the home page, find the "Blog Posts" card. Click the "Create New Post" button.

You'll be taken to the article creation page. This is where the magic happens!

Step 3: Enter Your Article Topic

In the "Post Topic" field, enter what you want to write about. Be specific — the more detailed your topic, the better the results.

Good examples:

• "How to style winter boots with different outfits"

• "10 benefits of organic skincare products for sensitive skin"

• "Complete guide to choosing the right yoga mat for beginners"

Avoid vague topics like:

• "Boots" (too general)

• "Skincare" (needs more focus)

• "Yoga" (not specific enough)

Step 4: Generate Keywords

Click the "Generate Keywords" button. The AI will analyze your topic and suggest relevant SEO keywords.

After about ~10-15 seconds, you'll see a list of suggested keywords. Select the ones most relevant to your article (up to 5).

Tips for selecting keywords:

• Choose keywords that match your target audience's search intent

• Mix broad and specific keywords

• Select at least 3-5 keywords for best results

Pro Tip: You can also add your own custom keywords by typing them in the input field and pressing Enter.

Step 5: Generate Article Outline

Once you've selected your keywords, click "Generate Outline".

The AI will create a structured outline for your article. This typically takes about ~10-15 seconds.

You can:

• Use the outline as-is

• Edit sections to better fit your needs

• Add or remove points

• Completely rewrite if you prefer

The outline determines the structure of your final article, so take a moment to review it.

Step 6: Generate Title Options

Click "Generate Titles" to get 10 AI-suggested titles for your article.

After about ~10-15 seconds, you'll see 10 title options displayed as clickable buttons.

Click on the title you like best, or type your own custom title in the text field.

What makes a good title:

• Includes primary keyword

• Creates curiosity or promises value

• Is between 50-60 characters for SEO

• Clearly communicates the article's benefit

Step 7: Describe Your Featured Image

In the "Image Description" field, describe what you want your featured image to look like.

Example descriptions:

• "A cozy winter scene with stylish boots on wooden floor, warm lighting"

• "Modern minimalist skincare products arranged on marble surface with plants"

• "Person doing yoga on a colorful mat in a bright, peaceful studio"

Important: The more detailed your description, the better your image will match your vision. Include colors, mood, setting, and style preferences.

Step 8: Configure Article Settings

In the right sidebar, you'll find three important settings:

Language

Choose from 15 languages:

• English, Spanish, French, German

• Polish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch

• Chinese, Japanese, Korean

This is the final step! The AI will now:

1. Write your complete article based on the outline

2. Optimize it for your selected keywords

3. Generate a custom featured image

4. Publish it directly to your Shopify blog

Note: Article generation typically takes 60-120 seconds. Don't close the page during this process.
