Content Genius lets you publish finished articles directly to a Website Studio site from the built-in publish modal. Select Website Studio as your destination, choose a target site, and the article transfers — no manual copy-paste required.
🔗 How the Content Genius to Website Studio Publish Flow Works
Content Genius supports publishing to WordPress, connected CMS platforms, and Website Studio. When you select Website Studio in the publish modal, your article is transferred to the Website Studio site you choose — closing the gap between where you create content and where you build your website.
✅ Before You Publish
Confirm both of the following before you start:
- A Website Studio site exists on your Search Atlas account — at least one site must be set up in Website Studio before it appears as a destination. If you don't have a site yet, see the Website Studio Getting Started guide to create one.
- Your Content Genius article is ready — finalize the article you intend to publish before opening the publish modal.
🚀 How to Publish a Content Genius Article to Website Studio
-
Open Content Genius and select the article you want to publish.
-
Once the article has been generated and is ready, select Website Studio.
-
If the article has not been connected to a Website Studio site yet, click Website Studio to open the publishing modal.
-
In the Send to Website Studio window:
- Select your Website Studio site from the Website Studio Site dropdown.
- (Optional) Configure the article slug.
- (Optional) Add an author name.
- (Optional) Assign a category.
- (Optional) Add tags.
-
Click Publish.
-
Wait for the publication process to complete. Once successful, the synchronization status will update and the article will be available in your selected Website Studio project.
💡 Note: If your Website Studio site does not appear in the dropdown, verify that a Website Studio project has been created and is associated with your account before attempting to publish.
📦 What Transfers to Website Studio
When you publish from Content Genius to Website Studio, the following content elements are included in the transfer:
- Article body text — the full written content of your article.
- Headings and structure — H1, H2, H3, and other heading levels are preserved.
- Inline images — images embedded within the article body.
- Article title — used as the page title on Website Studio.
- SEO metadata — meta title and meta description, where set in Content Genius.
Handle these manually after transfer:
- Featured image — set the featured image directly in Website Studio if required.
- Page-level styling and layout — adjust visual design in the Website Studio editor.
- Internal navigation and menu placement — add the new page to your site menu in Website Studio.
🌐 Selecting the Right Website Studio Site
The Select brand dropdown in Website Studio (What will we get done today?) lists every Website Studio site connected to your Search Atlas account. If you manage multiple sites, choose the one where this article belongs.
To identify the correct site:
- Match the site name — site names in the dropdown match the names you assigned when creating each site in Website Studio.
- Check the domain — if you have multiple sites with similar names, open Website Studio in a separate tab to confirm which domain each site is connected to before selecting.
- Confirm the audience — choose the site whose topic, brand, or audience matches the article you are publishing.
If no sites appear in the dropdown, open Website Studio, confirm that at least one site has been created, then return to Content Genius and try again.
🛠️ Troubleshooting Publish Issues
If something doesn't work as expected, try the following:
- No sites appear in the Select brand dropdown — you don't yet have a Website Studio site. Open Website Studio, create a site using the Website Studio Getting Started guide, then return to the publish modal.
- The publish action returns an error — refresh the Content Genius page, reopen the article, and try publishing again. If the error persists, sign out and back in to refresh your session.
- The confirmation message does not appear — check your browser for blocked pop-ups or notifications, then retry the publish.
- Your article does not appear on the Website Studio site immediately — allow a short propagation delay, then refresh the Website Studio site list. The article appears as a new page within your selected site.
- Still stuck — contact Search Atlas support with the article name and the destination site name.
🎯 You can now publish Content Genius articles directly to any Website Studio site, eliminating the manual step of copying content between tools. To learn more about building and managing pages once your content arrives, see the Website Studio overview article.
