Monthly generation

Once a month, you pick the keywords you want to turn into articles. Quibo does the work in the background and emails the organization owner when the whole batch is done, and again if a scheduled article cannot be published. You review from the Articles board and schedule from the article page or the Calendar.

The flow

1. Discover keywords on the Keywords page. The most attractive ones surface first.
2. Accept the keywords you want this month: tick them and click Accept. The banner above the table shows how many articles you have left and how many keywords you have accepted.
3. Plan this month. The dialog lets you set how many articles to generate per site; Quibo takes the highest-opportunity accepted keywords for each site up to that count. Click Generate N articles. Owners and admins can plan. The articles are charged to your balance at this point, each one from the monthly quota first and from your packs after that. If an article still fails after Quibo's automatic retries, the Articles page says whether it was given back to your allowance. Retrying an article that was given back uses one article; retrying one that still counts against your allowance is free.
4. Watch the Articles board. Each article appears in Generating with its current stage, and the banner counts how many are ready, in progress and need attention. Quibo emails the organization owner when the whole batch is done.
5. Review any Ready article: edit the body, meta and FAQ. Title, FAQ, meta, and cover image are pre-filled. Quibo retries a failed step automatically before giving up. Articles that still fail land in Failed with the reason and Retry generation, which resumes from the stage that stopped; Retry all failed does the same for every failed article at once.
6. Schedule from the article page (Schedule publish), or all at once with Batch approve on the calendar, included on every plan. Drag a scheduled article on the calendar to move it. See Scheduling.
7. Publish runs automatically at the scheduled time.

Scheduling and publishing

Quibo checks every 5 minutes for articles due to publish and pushes them to your CMS. Each article publishes once. On WordPress, Ghost and Webflow, Quibo retries a failed publish by itself when the failure came before the post was saved: the site's address could not be found, the site refused the connection, was down for maintenance or asked to slow down. An error that could come after the post was saved, such as a timeout once the article was sent, is never retried blindly: the article is marked Checking your site, and at least 5 minutes later Quibo looks on your site for a post with the article's slug and title created since it was due. If the post is there, the article is recorded as published; if your site answers and it is not there, Quibo publishes it; if your site does not answer, Quibo checks again at the next retry time. So a retry does not post an article twice. On the other CMSs the first error from the site is final. See Scheduling for the retry times and what the check looks for.

If a publish still fails, whether scheduled or published by hand (for example a rotated WordPress password or a missing Sanity field), the article goes back to Ready. If it had a date, it keeps it and shows in red as Publish failed on that date in the calendar and on the Articles board. It does not publish by itself. When a scheduled publish fails, the organization owner gets an email with the reason and what to do; the full error is on the article page. Fix the cause, then click Publish now or pick a new date under Schedule publish. If Publish now fails on WordPress, Ghost or Webflow in a way that may have created the post, the article is marked Checking your site and Quibo checks your site a few minutes later, as for a scheduled publish. In any other case, if Publish now fails on an article scheduled for a later date, it stays scheduled for that date when the failure left nothing on your site; otherwise it goes back to Ready, marked Publish failed. If Quibo says the post may already exist, check your site before you publish or schedule the article again. If the post is there, or you published it on your site yourself, click Mark as published on the article page and paste its live URL.

The same pipeline on every plan

Every plan runs the same twelve-stage pipeline: SERP research, intent, outline, evidence research, drafting, humanize, critique, revise, internal linking, SEO assets, cover image, save. Quibo writes each article in the background, and the Articles board shows live progress. Nothing publishes until you approve it.

Every article gets a generated cover image; there is no option to turn covers off. If the cover cannot be generated, the article is not saved without one: it lands in Failed, and Retry generation resumes it.

Batch history and old drafts

The Batches page keeps every batch with its counts, dates and stage. The articles themselves follow the retention rules: a draft that is never scheduled or published is removed 14 days after it was planned or last retried, an article whose publish failed and that you do not publish or schedule again is removed 14 days after the failure (or 14 days after the date it kept, if that is later), while published articles stay (their body is cleared after 30 days, the CMS holds the live copy). So an old batch may show "24 generated" and only its published articles under View articles; the page says how many drafts were removed. Every approval stays in the approval log.

What happens to keywords you don't pick

• Keywords you generate from are marked used and won't reappear in discovery. At the start of the next month they move to Archived and leave the default view; show them to accept any of them again for a new article.
• Accepted keywords the plan did not reach stay accepted and remain in the pool for the next plan.
• Keywords you didn't accept stay discovered with their scores and sort alongside next month's new ones.
• Manually added keywords behave the same way.

This keeps your monthly content plan clean: no infinite re-rolls of the same suggestions.
