What this is

Your content production hub:
  • List of briefs/articles
  • Brief editor (strategy + outline)
  • Article generation + editing
  • AI refinement + history

Why it matters

  • It connects opportunities to publishable content.
  • It ensures briefs are aligned to target prompts and citation sources.
  • It creates an audit trail (what changed and why).

Where to find it

Action → Content

How it works

Content list showing briefs and article actions Caption: Content is where briefs and articles are managed end-to-end. Brief editor showing target prompts and citations Caption: Briefs are optimized for target prompts and citeable sources. Article editor with AI refinement and history Caption: Articles can be refined with AI prompts, tracked in History, and copied for publishing.

How to use it

  1. Open Content and use Filters to find your newest items.
  2. Click View brief to review the strategy and outline.
  3. Review the right rail:
    • Target Prompts
    • Citations
  4. Click Generate article when ready.
  5. Edit the article in the editor (add proof, examples, comparisons).
  6. Use the AI refinement box to request changes (tone, structure, SEO, etc.).
  7. Use History to review changes and keep a record.
  8. Click Copy to publish in your CMS.
  9. After publishing, measure impact in Home and Prompt Analytics.

How to interpret results

  • If Target Prompt % is low → the brief may not match the query → adjust structure and headers to align to the prompt.
  • If citations are mostly competitor/social → your article needs stronger primary/owned sources → add citeable sections and schema.
  • If you can’t “Generate article” → it may be in Researching/Add context → provide missing inputs first.
  • If content is strong but visibility doesn’t move → distribution/off-page may be the constraint → use Off-page Outreach/Engage.
  • If edits improve sentiment but not rank → you’re solving narrative, not trust → check citations.

Common questions / troubleshooting

  • “What does ‘Add context’ mean?” → Meridian needs extra inputs (brand facts, constraints, angles) before generating.
  • “Where do Target Prompts come from?” → from the opportunity’s underlying prompt gaps and your tracked library.
  • “Why does History show ‘Content Updated’?” → it logs changes (manual edits + AI refinement).
