← Back to [Part 1](/hc/searchatlas-help/articles/1791420961-30-day-otto-sop) — Part 7 of 8 ## 9. Best Practices for LLM-Optimized Topical Maps To maximize performance: - Use **broad, meaningful seed keywords**. - Ensure **company info is complete** to strengthen AI identity. - Populate settings with AI, **then refine manually**. - Enable **all microsemantic refiners**. - Always add **internal and external links** for credibility. - Publish content consistently to build topical authority. ### **Step 6: AI Content Writer** ### **Path:** ### **Sidebar → Content → AI Content Templates** This module guides you through using the AI Content Writer inside Search Atlas to quickly create high-quality content using ready-made AI templates. These templates let you generate paragraphs, introductions, product descriptions, FAQs, image prompts, and many other forms of content without needing to build complex prompts from scratch. You will also learn how to customize AI behavior using the global AI Settings panel so your voice, tone, and style remain consistent across everything you produce. ### **Section 1: Template Gallery Interface** When you first arrive on the AI Content Writer page, you will see: • A search bar to filter templates by name • A category filter (All, Website, Google, SEO, Blog, Email, Video, Marketing, Social Media, Ecommerce, Ads) • A grid of available templates, each one representing a specific writing function • Your AI quota displayed at the top • The AI Settings button, which controls tone, language, and point of view **Each template card includes:** • The template name • A short description of what it produces • A button labeled Try this template **Task for you:** Scroll through the template gallery and identify 3 templates you expect to use often based on your content needs (for example: Blog Post Intro Paragraph, Ask Me Anything, Product Description, A Thousand Words is Worth a Picture). ### **Section 2: Opening a Template** When you click a template, a split-screen interface appears: **Left Panel:** • Template name • Short description of what the template does • Input fields (for example: Prompt, product details, subject, or keywords) • Clear inputs button • Generate AI Content button **Right Panel:** • Output tab showing new content generated • History tab showing all previous generations This format is consistent for nearly all templates, making the workflow predictable and fast. **Task for you:** **Open** the template called A Thousand Words Is Worth a Picture. This will allow you to practice generating prompts for image creation. ### **Section 3: AI Settings (Tone, Language, POV)** ### **Path:** ### **AI Content Templates → AI Settings (button at top right)** The AI Settings modal controls the global behavior of the model. Every template you use inherits these settings unless you override them inside a specific prompt. The modal contains the following fields: **Tone of Voice** Controls how the text sounds. You can choose from options such as Casual, Professional, Funny, Angry, Dramatic, Feminine, Masculine, Bold, Secretive, Grumpy, Witty, Sarcastic, and several persona voices like Yoda, Tony Stark, or Shakespeare. Choose a consistent tone that reflects your brand. **Language** Sets the language the AI will use for all outputs. If your content is intended for English-speaking audiences, select English (US) or English (UK). ### **Point of View** Sets the narrative perspective. Options include: • First person • Second person • Third person For content meant to instruct or guide the reader, second person is often the best choice. **Task for you:** Open the AI Settings modal and configure: - Tone of Voice: Professional - Language: English (US) - Point of View: Second person - Click Update to save these settings. ### **Section 4: Using a Template to Generate Content** ### **Path:Content → AI Content Templates → AI Image Generation → Try this template** **Inside the template:** **Left Panel:** You will see one main input field labeled Prompt. The system hints that detailed prompts produce better images. **Enter a description such as:** High-resolution Pixar-style 3D render of a baby hippo wearing a blue hat in a yellow room, soft lighting. **Then click Generate AI Content.** **Right Panel:** - The output will appear under the New Output tab. - You can view previous generations in the History tab. **Task for you:** Use the AI Image Generation template to generate at least two prompt variations and compare the clarity and detail of the outputs. ### **Section 5: General Best Practices for Template-Based Creation** • Always give the template context. For example, instead of writing “dentist,” write “pediatric dentist specializing in teens and children’s oral health.” • Adjust your global AI Settings first to ensure brand consistency. • Use the History tab when refining content so you can compare variations. • Templates are modular. You can generate an intro paragraph from one template, a FAQ from another, and a CTA from another. **Task for you:** Pick any template (for example: Blog Post Intro Paragraph), write a detailed prompt including audience, topic, and goal, and generate one sample output. Then adjust the tone of voice in AI Settings and generate a second version to compare differences. ### **Section 6: Working with Output** **Every output contains:** • Copy generated by the AI • A copy-to-clipboard icon • The ability to regenerate • The option to review your History of past outputs You can paste the generated content directly into Content Genius, Topical Maps, your blog, or any CMS integration. **Task for you:** Generate content from any template, copy the output, and add it into a new draft inside Content Genius as part of a live workflow.
