Blogged vs AutoSEO: a hosted blog, or articles and backlinks into your CMS

Autopilot keeps a bounded supply of Topics under approved Content Directions and refills it as posts are used. Plans allow 40, 80 or 120 Topics a month.

AutoSEO researches your niche, customers and competitors at setup and turns the result into a 30 day content calendar with one article slot a day, and its homepage form offers to show that plan before you subscribe.

Blogged keeps no keyword difficulty database of its own. Topics are supplied and reviewed against approved Content Directions rather than filtered against a volume or difficulty number you set.

AutoSEO states it analyzes more than 500 competitor keywords per site covering search volume, difficulty and gaps, and positions that research explicitly as a replacement for Semrush or Ahrefs.

The Knowledge Engine holds source bound product facts, competitor facts and keyword knowledge, with official sources, freshness monitoring, conflict resolution and controlled refresh. Stale, rejected, superseded or conflicting entries are not eligible for normal reuse.

AutoSEO studies your site, your competitors and the pages already ranking for each keyword before writing. No public page describes stored facts with sources, freshness checks or conflict handling, and the only mention of brand voice and image guidelines at onboarding is inside a customer review republished on its site.

Competitor Watch runs weekly over approved competitors' feeds, sitemaps and bounded public pages. Signals carry source evidence and never become Topics without human review. 7, 15 or 25 tracked competitors by plan.

Competitor analysis is listed on both AutoSEO plans, covering search terms, backlink profiles and the keyword gaps you could win. No public page describes an ongoing watch over competitor content with a signal feed you review.

Content Directions are approved rules that bound what Autopilot may write, and full Autopilot publishes only inside them. Changing the strategy is an approval step, not a setting.

AutoSEO says you approve or reject topics and manage a content calendar with keyword targeting, and sums it up as you setting the strategy and AutoSEO executing it. That is a queue you can veto rather than a rule set generation is checked against.

The editor scores readiness, lists blockers, breaks the score down by SEO pillar, orders the priority fixes, and carries a separate GEO checklist.

AutoSEO states a spec instead of a score: 1,500 to 2,500 words, custom infographics, internal links and schema on every article, and a stated bar of whether you would share it on LinkedIn. No per article score is published.

Internal links are managed in the editor across the posts Blogged hosts, and the blog site generates related reading between them.

AutoSEO lists internal links as part of what every article ships with, alongside custom infographics and schema markup, and names proper internal linking as part of what makes an article worth linking to.

The editor carries a sources and citations panel, and generation draws on the official sources recorded against verified facts in the Knowledge Engine.

AutoSEO says every article carries sources, and the three customer articles published as examples on its homepage do link out to named references including Wikipedia and the US Small Business Administration. No page states how those claims are selected or checked.

Blogged discovers site images and rendered page captures, holds them in a review queue until a member approves them, places an approved visual exactly, and composites your approved logo after generation. 150 to 450 images a month by plan.

Every AutoSEO article ships with a custom hero image and an infographic described as on brand, and image guidelines are captured during onboarding. Nothing public describes capturing, approving or placing a screenshot of your actual product.

Blogged does not publish a multilingual generation capability. Assume English until it does.

AutoSEO states it writes SEO articles in English, Spanish and French plus 97 other languages, and publishes its own marketing site in English and Spanish.

On a blog site Blogged builds and hosts: a Blogged subdomain to start, blog.yourcompany.com when you connect a domain, or your existing path such as yourcompany.com/blog through a reverse proxy.

On the site you already run, published daily and formatted for that platform, or on a blog AutoSEO offers to host free for customers who are on none of the platforms it lists.

Blogged does not push into an existing CMS. It is the destination rather than a plugin, and that is the main reason to rule it out.

The homepage lists WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce, Duda, HubSpot, HighLevel, Lovable and RSS, and the terms name WordPress integration among the services sold.

Maintained themes, brand identity, typography and layout, homepage content, featured stories, navigation, on site reader search, related reading and consent controls all ship with the site.

Two sentences on four AutoSEO pages say it will host your blog free and handle the setup if you use none of its listed platforms. Nothing public describes themes, layout, navigation, or the domain that hosted blog is served from.

Each site is a separate Project with its own bill, discounted by position at 10, 15 and 20 percent, up to 20 Projects in a workspace. Team seats are unlimited on every paid plan.

AutoSEO states you can add as many client sites as you need, each on its own plan, under a heading that reads Scale to Unlimited Clients, and sells an optional white label add on that puts your logo, domain and colors on the dashboard.

A published post stays editable by hand with no cap, and AI regeneration is metered at 1 to 3 per post depending on plan, with revision history and selective restore. Nothing queues a refresh on its own.

No AutoSEO page mentions revisiting, refreshing or re-optimizing an article once it is live. The loop it publishes runs research, write, publish, then build links to what was published.

Full Autopilot publishes only after approved Content Directions and governance checks pass. A publication hold blocks publication outright, and the review queue is governed rather than advisory.

Four AutoSEO pages state that you see or approve every article before it publishes, one of them adds that you can approve or reject topics, and its terms make reviewing content your responsibility. It publishes no score or rule that holds a draft back on its own, and does not state whether approval is on by default.

Insights reports clicks, impressions, CTR, average position, top queries and top pages from a connected property, plus indexing coverage, on Google's finalized windows.

AutoSEO says it studies your Search Console before writing, and its case studies show Search Console figures. No page describes a Search Console panel in the product, and its own answer on rank tracking points you at Search Console yourself.

A CTA view counts only when at least 25 percent of the surface enters the viewport, so the denominator is stated. Insights adds click through, CTA breakdowns, lead conversion, lead outcomes, channels and campaigns.

The AutoSEO dashboard is described as covering the content calendar, keyword targeting, backlink tracking with each source URL and DA, and reporting on links, content and rankings. No public page describes CTA, lead or conversion reporting.

Newsletter signup and product CTAs are part of the blog site on every plan, with lead capture webhooks and lead outcome reporting behind them.

AutoSEO usually delivers articles into a site it does not own, so forms belong to whatever you already run. No public page lists a signup form, email capture or lead handoff among the things it builds.

Blogged does no off site link work. There is no exchange, no directory submissions, no backlink index and no rank tracker.

The plan includes what AutoSEO calls 100 Domain Authority worth of backlinks a month, which it puts at 5 to 10 links, built through the link exchange network described in its terms, with each source URL and DA shown in the dashboard.

Blogged carries a GEO checklist in the editor, which is optimization rather than measurement. It does not report whether an assistant mentioned or recommended your brand, and says so.

Being found and recommended by ChatGPT and Perplexity is AutoSEO's headline promise, argued through an illustrated example answer. No page describes a report, score or alert that measures assistant mentions.
