Screpy’s AI content outline generator turns a topic into a suggested page heading, five or seven main sections and short writing points. Use it to organize an article before drafting, or to reconsider the structure of an existing page. The result is a writing plan: you still decide what belongs, gather evidence and write the finished content.
Give the outline a specific reader and task
A topic such as “email marketing” leaves the scope open. “Help a small online shop write its first welcome email after a newsletter signup” gives the plan a reader, a situation and an outcome. Add the audience’s experience level if it changes what needs explaining.
Enter a topic or page summary of 2–500 characters. In Options, you can set the output language, add an audience of up to 200 characters and include a target keyword of up to 100 characters. Required points have a separate field allowing up to 2,000 characters. For the welcome-email example, these might be the signup promise, sender identity, one next step and a test before sending.
Use the keyword to clarify the subject, rather than repeating it in every instruction. The tool does not open URLs or inspect your website. Paste the relevant context as text; a link alone does not supply the page’s contents.
Understand the H1–H3 outline
The result contains one suggested H1, followed by exactly five or seven H2 sections, depending on your choice. Each main section has one or two short writing points. Where useful, it can also contain up to two H3 subsections, each with its own points. A section without H3s is not automatically incomplete.
Read these levels as a hierarchy: the H1 describes the page, H2s divide its main subjects and H3s develop a subject within an H2. HTML heading levels describe structure, not just text size. The tool’s labels are planning aids; you must apply the corresponding heading blocks when publishing.
Choose five sections for a narrower task. Try seven when there are genuinely separate decisions to cover. Neither count guarantees completeness, and extra sections do not make an article more valuable by themselves.
Review a five-section example
Consider a fictional outline for that first welcome email. This is an editing example, not a captured tool result or a claim about email performance.
| Main section | What the writer should deliver |
|---|---|
| Define what the signup promised | Identify why the subscriber expects this message. |
| Write the welcome message | Connect the opening and main copy to that promise. |
| Choose one next step | Explain what the reader can do after reading. |
| Check the sending details | Verify the sender name, links and relevant settings. |
| Test the email before launch | Describe the checks the team will perform before sending. |
The sequence follows a practical job: establish the purpose, draft the message, choose an action, configure and test. Another valid plan might combine some of these steps. What matters is whether its order helps this particular reader act.
Now imagine the draft has separate sections called “Set up the welcome email” and “Configure the welcome email”. If both contain the same sender and link checks, their jobs overlap. Merge those points and give the freed section a missing task. An H3 such as “Check the sender name” can sit inside sending details; it does not need to compete with that parent as a main section.
Check coverage before drafting
Compare the outline with your original instructions before treating it as an assignment. AI can produce a tidy structure while missing the detail that makes your article useful. Check four things:
- Can you point to a section for every required topic, or explain why a topic should be excluded?
- Does each section answer a different reader question, with prerequisites explained before advanced steps?
- Which points require a source, a real example, product access or a subject specialist?
- Are there headings that merely repeat the title or expand the article beyond its purpose?
For the email example, the team still needs to confirm its actual signup promise and sending setup. A writing point is an instruction to investigate or explain something, not evidence that it is true. This tool does not review competitors, verify facts or measure keyword demand.
Do not keep a weak section to reach a word target. Google’s helpful-content guidance explicitly rejects the idea of a preferred word count. Give each necessary answer enough space and remove padding.
Turn the outline into a writing document
Copy the outline as Markdown, then revise it in your writing document. Keep the accepted headings, move misplaced points and attach the sources or examples the writer will need. In a Markdown editor, heading marks can become headings; in other editors, apply the appropriate styles instead of leaving the marks as ordinary text.
If you need a fuller assignment with an objective, audience and research tasks, use the AI Content Brief Generator. For alternative wording for one heading, use the AI Heading Generator. After publication, the Heading Structure Analyzer can inspect the heading structure in the page’s HTML. These are separate checks, rather than proof that the outline has been researched or published.
A valid email is required for each generation request. Form values and email are recorded with tool usage; email is excluded from the AI prompt. Inputs are saved in this browser and restored on return without automatically running the tool. Avoid confidential information.
