One Blog a Day — Expert Blog Writing & Publishing on Autopilot

Yes, you need a free OneBlogADay account. You can create one directly inside the plugin during setup — no need to visit a separate website. If you already have an account from oneblogaday.com, sign in with the same credentials.

Yes. The free plan includes 2 expert blog posts per month with the full 28-step pipeline — the same quality as paid plans, just fewer posts. There is no time limit on the free plan. Upgrade when you want more volume or Autopilot mode.

WordPress 6.0 or higher and PHP 7.4 or higher. The plugin is tested up to WordPress 6.9.

Autopilot discovers keywords, generates blog posts, and publishes them on a schedule you set. Choose Assist mode (drafts are held for your review before publishing) or Full mode (everything happens automatically). You pick the days and time — the system handles the rest.

Yes. Every generated blog appears in your blog list where you can review, edit the title, content, and meta description directly inside the plugin, or reject it before publishing. In Assist mode, no blog goes live without your approval.

Yes. The plugin is fully compatible with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework. When you publish a blog post, the SEO title, meta description, and focus keyword are automatically set in whichever SEO plugin you have installed. If you do not have an SEO plugin, we inject structured data (BlogPosting + Person + BreadcrumbList JSON-LD) directly.

No. The plugin does not add any frontend scripts, styles, or database queries to your public-facing pages. All processing (blog generation, keyword discovery, image creation) happens on our servers. The only thing added to your site is the published blog post content itself — standard WordPress posts that your theme renders normally.

No. During onboarding, you can scan your existing blog so the system knows what you have already covered. The Keyword Strategist avoids duplicate topics and focuses on gaps — subjects your competitors rank for that you have not written about yet.

Any business that needs consistent, expert blog content. Home service companies (plumbers, electricians, HVAC), local businesses (restaurants, law firms, dental offices), e-commerce stores, SaaS companies, marketing agencies, and solo creators. Each business type gets tailored keyword strategies and writing angles.

Most AI blog writers give you a text editor with autocomplete — a faster pen. One Blog a Day is end-to-end content automation — a full content team working on your schedule. Where other AI blog writers stop at producing a draft you have to edit and publish, this plugin handles the entire workflow: keyword research, content strategy, writing, SEO optimization, image creation, and publishing. You do not write prompts or edit drafts (unless you want to). The 28-step pipeline produces content with real depth, proper structure, and SEO best practices — not generic filler.

Yes, with a different scope. Outrank, GetGenie, AI Engine, and Bertha AI are primarily writing assistants — they help you write a blog post faster. One Blog a Day handles the full workflow: keyword discovery, writing, SEO, image creation, category assignment, and publishing. You set a schedule and the posts appear on your site. If you want to write each post yourself with AI help, those tools fit better. If you want blog content to ship without you touching it, this is the right tool.

Yes. Posts are published as standard WordPress posts and appear on your blog alongside any WooCommerce store you run. The Keyword Strategist also picks up on product-led businesses and suggests topics that drive search traffic to your store — buying guides, comparison content, problem-solution posts.

Turn on Autopilot in Full mode. Pick the days and time you want posts to go live (for example, Monday and Thursday at 9 AM). The system discovers a keyword, writes the post, generates a featured image, optimizes for SEO, and publishes to your WordPress site at the scheduled time. You do not have to log in, review, or click anything once Full mode is on. If you want a safety net, use Assist mode instead — drafts wait for your approval before going live.

For most small businesses, yes. Agencies typically charge $200 to $500 per blog post and deliver 4 to 8 posts per month — about $1,000 to $4,000 in monthly spend for the same volume the Growth plan ($79/month) ships. Where agencies still win is highly bespoke thought leadership, founder-voice essays, or content that needs interviews and primary research. For consistent SEO-focused blog content (the bulk of what most businesses need), this replaces the agency workflow end to end.

Yes. Blog posts are published as standard WordPress posts using the default WordPress post type — your theme and any page builder you use to design templates render them normally. We do not generate Elementor or Divi templates; we generate the post content (title, body, featured image, meta, categories, tags) and your existing template renders it.

The plugin publishes directly to your WordPress site. If you also use OneBlogADay through the website dashboard, you can publish to Shopify and Wix as well.

Yes. All communication with our servers uses HTTPS encryption. Your account credentials are never stored in WordPress — only a secure API key issued during registration. Social media tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. We do not sell or share your data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
