Keyword Research to Published Posts, in Every Language
Zero pulls live keyword data, ranks a shortlist of topics for you to approve, writes the post, generates the cover image, and publishes every locale to your CMS as drafts.
What Zero delivers: this blog, in ten languages
This is not a mock-up. The vm0 blog runs on this workflow, so the sample below is the real CMS entry for one of our posts and its ten published localizations. Every title, meta description and URL is live right now, and each language was adapted for its market rather than machine-translated from the English.
What this entry contains
One approved topic became one master entry and ten localizations. Zero wrote the post, generated the cover image and uploaded it to the media library, wrote a distinct meta description per locale, and created every language in the CMS as a draft. A human reviewed each one and published.

What is an AI SEO agent?
An AI SEO agent runs the SEO content loop end to end rather than assisting with one step of it: it pulls live keyword data, decides which topics are worth writing, produces the post and its imagery, and publishes the result to your CMS. That is the difference between an AI writing tool, which needs you to already know the topic, and SEO content automation, which starts from the keyword data. Zero reads volume and difficulty from Ahrefs, ranks topic clusters against what you already rank for, waits for you to approve one, writes the post, generates the cover image, and creates every locale in Strapi as a draft.
Why SEO content stalls between research and publishing
SEO content stalls in the gap between research and publishing. Someone exports a keyword list, someone else argues over which ten topics are worth writing, a writer drafts one of them, a designer gets briefed for cover art, and then the whole thing is re-keyed into the CMS and handed off for translation. Four weeks later two posts are live and a competitor has already filled the gap you found. Zero closes that loop in one request: it reads live volume and difficulty data from Ahrefs, ranks the topic clusters worth writing, waits for you to pick one, drafts it, generates the cover image, and publishes every locale to your CMS as drafts.
How Zero automates SEO content in every language
Step 1: Connect your tools
Step 2: Ask Zero
Step 3: Take it further
Ahrefs and Strapi integrations for SEO publishing
This workflow is an Ahrefs to Strapi pipeline with an agent in the middle: Zero reads keyword data from Ahrefs, drafts against it, and writes finished entries to Strapi. Each connector is granted separately and scoped to what the workflow uses, so read access to your keyword data never implies write access to your CMS.
Ahrefs integration: the keyword data Zero reads
RequiredZero queries Keywords Explorer for ideas around the seed terms you name and reads volume, global volume, difficulty, and CPC for each. It also pulls your own organic keyword profile from Site Explorer, so it can tell a genuine gap from a query you already rank for on page one, and it can run the same comparison against a competitor domain you point it at. The Ahrefs integration is read-only here: Zero runs queries and writes nothing back to your Ahrefs workspace.
Strapi integration: the entries Zero creates
RequiredZero creates the master entry in the collection you name, populates title, slug, meta description, and body, uploads the generated cover image to the media library, and links it to the entry. It then creates one localization per locale code you give it, with the locale tag and field mapping your schema expects. Everything is created as a Draft: Zero does not publish live, so each entry waits in the Strapi admin until someone on your team publishes it.
Zero vs. an AI writing tool vs. a translation vendor
SEO content automation covers three jobs that usually sit with three different tools: deciding what to write, writing it, and shipping it in every language. Most teams automate the middle one and hand-carry the other two.
AI writing tools
A prompt goes in, a draft comes out. They are fast once you know the topic, but the topic decision, the keyword data behind it, the cover image, and the CMS entry are all still yours to handle.
Translation vendors
Good output, real turnaround. You submit a finished English post and get localized copy back days later, then someone re-keys each version into the CMS with the right locale tag.
Zero's SEO content workflow
One request covers the whole loop: keyword research in Ahrefs, a ranked topic shortlist you approve, the draft, the generated cover image, and every locale created in Strapi as a reviewable draft.
Tips for better results
Frequently asked questions
How do you automate SEO keyword research with AI?
Connect Ahrefs to Zero and give it your seed terms. Zero queries Keywords Explorer for ideas, reads volume, difficulty, and CPC for each, cross-checks the keywords you already rank for, groups the survivors into topic clusters, and returns them ranked with a suggested title and angle for each.
Does Zero pick the topic, or do I?
You do. Zero ranks the shortlist and stops there. Nothing is drafted, no image is generated, and nothing reaches your CMS until you reply with the topic you want. That review step exists because keyword data will happily rank a topic your team has a good reason to skip.
Can an AI agent generate the cover image too?
Yes. Once you approve the topic, Zero generates a cover image for the post and uploads it to your CMS media library, linked to the entry. Give it your brand palette or a reference image and the result stays consistent with your existing posts.
How does Zero handle multilingual content marketing?
Zero adapts each version for its market rather than machine-translating the English one. Register, examples, and headline structure change per locale while the keyword intent stays the same, and each localization is created in your CMS with the correct locale tag and field mapping.
Does Zero publish content live?
No. Every entry and every localization is created as a Draft. Zero returns a link to the Strapi admin so someone on your team reviews each locale and publishes when it is ready.
Which tools does the SEO publishing automation need?
Ahrefs and Strapi, and nothing else. Ahrefs supplies the keyword data and Strapi receives the entries. Both are required, because the workflow has no fallback for either half: without keyword data there is nothing to rank, and without the CMS there is nowhere to publish.
Can Zero run keyword research on a schedule?
Yes. Create an automation that runs weekly, pulls fresh keyword data, compares it against a competitor domain, and posts the biggest gaps to a Slack channel with a suggested title for each. Drafting still waits for someone to approve a topic.
Does this work with a CMS other than Strapi?
This page is written against Strapi because that is the CMS connector these steps use. The shape of the workflow, research then shortlist then draft then image then one entry per locale, does not depend on Strapi, so it carries over to any CMS Zero has a connector for.
Run your first keyword-to-published-post pass
Connect Ahrefs and Strapi, then use the same prompt to see the shortlist, the draft, the cover image, and every locale land as drafts.
