Testing Writesonic for AI SEO Workflows 2026

How has your second week of January been going? 😊

In last week’s newsletter, I shared a big goal: hitting $100k from my website in 2026. And honestly, I truly believe this is possible mainly thanks to AI-powered SEO automations. 🤖

I see 2026 as the year when many companies and creators will go all in on AI to cut costs and get more done in less time.

Since this goal means producing a lot of long-form content to rank in search results and build authority on social media, doing everything manually just isn’t realistic anymore.

That’s why I need to build my own “AI assistants.”

I’ve already started testing this idea out this week using the Writesonic AI SEO tool.

More specifically, I wanted to see if their AI agent, Chatsonic, could help me build an automated content workflow — one that creates content that actually makes sense, sounds like me, and can be produced fast.

This is one of my biggest optimization goals for me right now. If I can make it work, it would save me a huge amount of time and energy.

So if you’re currently looking for an AI SEO agent (like Writesonic’s), make sure to read this first. 👇

I have one simple rule when choosing SEO tools:

If a tool helps me do my job faster and better, it’s worth paying for.

That’s it.

But you usually have to test tools yourself. Most online reviews are honestly garbage and don’t tell the real story. 🙃

So in January 2026, I decided to test the Writesonic Professional plan for $249/month, which includes SEO, content creation, and AI search tracking + optimization.

They do offer cheaper plans, but those don’t include AI features.

To be fair, $240+ per month is a lot of money, so a tool really needs to prove its value to keep me subscribed.

If Writesonic can truly support AI-driven SEO workflows, then it might actually be worth it. That’s why I upgraded and jumped straight in.

I’ve been testing two AI-automated workflows, and I want to share my early findings with you.

These are still preliminary results. Prompt refinement is definitely needed, but this should give you a clear idea of what to expect.

First, it’s worth saying that Writesonic has one of the most comprehensive content generation workflows I’ve seen on the market. It’s actually designed to help you program AI to deliver content according to your needs and tone of voice.

Even if you build your own AI SEO agents, I’m still recommending taking a look.

I have to say: Writesonic has one of the most detailed content generation workflows I’ve seen so far.

It’s clearly built to help you program AI to create content based on your exact needs and tone of voice.

Even if you’re planning to build your own AI SEO agents, I still recommend checking this out.

The content creation process includes 10 steps. It starts with choosing the type of article you want (I chose a listicle) and the research method for gathering sources.

Since I usually create very detailed content briefs and already know what I want, I selected “Custom Resources.”

The whole workflow is thoughtfully designed. If you don’t like the suggested outline, you can fully customize it, even down to setting the depth of each paragraph.

Once you’ve filled in all your requirements (which does take time if you want decent content), the AI starts generating content while doing the following:

In the end, you get a full article with images. The images actually look nice, but they didn’t match my brand style, so I deleted them.

Chatsonic also pulled quotes from competitor websites. Since those weren’t real expert quotes, I removed them as well.Before generating any content, I spent time preparing:
I collected examples of my writing, shared around 300 words about myself and my experience, and wrote a very detailed prompt explaining how I want listicles to be structured.

Writesonic allows you to upload all of this to customize your writing style, which is honestly a great feature.

Before content generation, I’ve spent some time collecting examples of my writing style, sharing up to 300 words about myself and my experience, and writing a detailed prompt outlining my requirements for listicle generation.

Writesonic lets you upload all this information to customize your writing style, which is really great.

Still, I ended up not using the content, simply because it didn’t meet my personal quality standards.

That doesn’t mean Chatsonic is bad at what it does.

I’m fully aware that my bar for content quality is very high, and many people would be perfectly fine using it as-is.

Here’s what I realized about Chatsonic (and really, about any AI SEO agent):

Success depends entirely on how well you train the AI to copy your tone of voice and include your real stories and experience.

That’s it. Nothing else.

Yes, prompt quality matters. But what matters even more is helping AI truly understand you before expecting meaningful output.

And this is the hardest part. Training AI isn’t about pasting examples of your posts. It’s about teaching it your experience, your way of thinking, your values, and your writing principles.

Right now, I’m working on a detailed training document about “me” that I’ll use specifically for AI writing tasks.

This is still in progress, and I’ll share my results in future newsletters.

Have you managed to create AI content that actually feels human and useful? 🤔

Besides SEO content, I’m also exploring how to automate repurposing my best blog posts into LinkedIn content that actually sounds like me.

On the surface, this sounds easy.

In reality, most AI-generated social posts feel generic, offer little value, and often don’t even include proper CTAs or links. 😐

What I want is a system that quickly turns my top-performing blog posts into engaging, informative LinkedIn posts and eventually automates publishing too.

Writesonic offers a Social Media Post Generator for this.

You first choose the platform and the product or service you’re promoting, and then you move into content creation mode.

This AI agent also uses the writing style you’ve already saved.

This week, I spent several evenings refining my prompt and teaching the agent how I want social posts to sound.

Honestly, I still wasn’t happy with the results, even after multiple attempts.

After failing to get what I wanted from Writesonic, I decided to take my 1,100+ word prompt and test it with Claude instead.

And the difference was huge! 🤯

Thanks to a very detailed prompt with writing rules, examples, and clear instructions, Claude created a solid social media content plan for an entire month. It included:

Now all that’s left is posting on LinkedIn, manually for now, but I’m also working on automating this step. 🙂

My LinkedIn prompt for turning blog posts into LinkedIn content is available to Premium members.

As I’m writing this late on Friday night, I’m finally excited to say that my new website design is live after 2.5 months of work. 🤩

It honestly feels surreal that this massive project is done.

I learned a lot, made plenty of design mistakes, probably tested my developer’s patience 😅 but it was all worth it in the end.

I’ll definitely write a separate (and obviously long-form) newsletter sharing everything I learned from this project. So stay tuned!

And remember: this site will hit $100k in 2026. Every investment I’m making now is part of that plan. 💪

P.S. Never deploy anything on a Friday night. Seriously. Never.

The update is still ongoing, but you can already check my most popular editions in the highlights:
