🚀 AI Visibility Analytics, Webhooks, Article Excerpts, Shareable Drafts with Client Reviews, Automate Analysis & much more

We're excited to announce AI Visibility, our comprehensive analytics system for tracking your content's performance across AI search engines, plus automated opportunities analysis, content refresh enhancements, and critical fixes across the platform.

🎯 New Features

AI Visibility Analytics

Track how your content performs across AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Copilot, and Grok with comprehensive visibility metrics:

Real-time Performance Tracking - Monitor visibility percentage, share of voice vs. competitors, average ranking position, and brand sentiment across all major AI engines

Multi-LLM Coverage - Track performance across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Copilot, and Grok with unified analytics

Prompt Tracking & Analysis - Monitor which AI prompts surface your content, track execution history, and see detailed citation breakdowns with sources, mentions, and competitor comparisons

Competitor Insights - Compare your visibility against competitors and identify citation gaps and opportunities

Configurable Monitoring - Set custom tracking schedules (daily, weekly, monthly, or manual) based on your plan tier.

Simple Shareable Draft Link for Client Review

Get client feedback without friction. Share draft articles with external reviewers using a simple link; no ContentPen account is required. Choose between View Only or Can Comment access levels, and let clients leave feedback directly in a lightweight comment panel. Comments appear in your article editor for seamless collaboration.

Webhook Integration Improvements

Build reliable automated content workflows. Webhooks now fire on publish (not just generation), expose a complete lifecycle of events (generated, edited, published, scheduled, updated), include rich article payloads, and provide delivery management tools for complete control over downstream automations.

Opportunities Auto-Analysis

Never miss optimization opportunities with automated content analysis:

Automated Scheduling - Configure automatic re-analysis every 14, 30, 45, or 60 days instead of manually triggering scans

Staleness Indicators - Visual alerts show when your opportunities data is outdated and needs refreshing

Always-Fresh Insights - Stay on top of content decay, CTR opportunities, and quick wins without manual intervention

Content Refresh Structure Controls

Complete Structure Step - Add or modify the Table of Contents, Key Takeaways, Conclusion, and FAQ sections during content refreshes. The Content Refresh flow now includes the complete Structure step from standard article creation, giving you full structural control during both Enhance Existing and Full Rewrite modes.

GSC Sync Control on Analytics Page

Fresh Google Search Console data whenever you need it. The Analytics page now features a "Sync Analytics" button and auto-sync schedule dropdown in the topbar, allowing you to trigger fresh data pulls and configure refresh frequency without leaving the page.

Topic Clusters: Sort by Total Volume

Identify your biggest traffic opportunities instantly. Sort topic clusters by combined total volume to immediately see which clusters represent the largest keyword opportunities, helping you prioritize content creation efforts where they matter most.

Article Excerpt Field

Every blog deserves a compelling teaser. ContentPen now auto-generates article excerpts during creation—the short summary text displayed on blog listing pages, category pages, and homepages. Excerpts are fully editable and automatically mapped to the correct CMS field (WordPress excerpt, Ghost custom_excerpt, Beehiiv subtitle, HubSpot post_summary, etc.) on publish.

Keywords Section: Enhanced Article Generation Modal

Streamlined article creation from the Keywords table:

Target AI Prompt Field - Specify which AI queries your article should optimize for directly from the Generate Article modal

Secondary Keywords - Add supporting keywords without navigating through the full article creation wizard

✨ Critical Fixes & Improvements

Content Generation & Quality

• Slash Command "Ask AI" - Resolved placeholder text persisting in documents and AI not following complete user prompts

• Non-English GEO Scoring - Fixed rule-based checks that only worked for English, now properly analyzes Dutch and other languages
• Internal Link Nofollow - Corrected manually-added internal links incorrectly getting rel="nofollow" attribute

Opportunities Dashboard

• URL Deduplication - Same URL no longer appears multiple times across different keyword clusters

• AI Insights 500 Error - Fixed Opportunities AI Insights panel returning 500 errors caused by unhandled 429 rate limit responses from LLM providers

• "Last Analyzed" Timestamp - Fixed timestamp not updating after manually running analysis (now correctly shows "just now" instead of stale values)

Keywords & Clustering

• Topic Clustering Algorithm - Improved semantic grouping to reduce over-fragmentation and eliminate empty clusters

• Column Sort Filters - Fixed sort controls that only worked on first click (Difficulty, Volume, Intent, CPC now toggle properly)

System Reliability
