Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I outline a blog post before writing?
Outlining organises your thoughts, ensures logical flow and prevents writer's block. Posts written from outlines are typically more focused, better structured and faster to write than those started from a blank page.
What post type templates are available?
The tool includes templates for How-To guides, Listicles, Comparison posts, Ultimate Guides, Product Reviews and a blank Custom template. Each pre-fills common heading structures for that post type.
Can I reorder sections after adding them?
Yes. Use the move up and move down buttons next to each section to reorder your outline. You can also delete sections and add new ones at any position.
What export formats are supported?
You can export as Markdown (with # heading syntax) or plain text (with indentation). Both formats are compatible with popular writing tools like Google Docs, Notion, WordPress and Ghost.
How does this help with SEO?
A well-structured outline with clear H2 and H3 headings helps search engines understand your content hierarchy. Including your target keyword in headings signals topical relevance and improves ranking potential.
