Drip Publishing

Once your content is generated, the Publish step lets you push it live to your CMS. You can publish all pages at once or use Drip Publishing to release them gradually - which is recommended to avoid being flagged as spam by search engines.
Page Statuses
In the Publish tab, you'll see a table of all your generated pages. Each page has a status:
Not Published - Ready to publish
In Progress - Currently being published or scheduled
Published - Live on your CMS (click the link to view it)
Error - Publishing failed (hover over the badge to see what went wrong)
You can filter by status and sort by row number, slug, status, or published date.
Publishing Your Pages
Single page - Click the publish button next to any page to publish it immediately.
Bulk publish - Select the pages you want (or leave none selected to publish all), then click "Publish." This opens the publishing settings where you can configure Drip Publishing and Draft Mode.
Publishing happens in the background. You'll receive email updates as batches are completed.
Drip Publishing
Drip Publishing releases your content in scheduled batches instead of all at once. This is enabled by default and recommended - publishing hundreds of pages simultaneously can cause search engines to flag your site as spam.
Batch size - Choose how many pages to publish per batch: 10, 25, 50, or 100.
Frequency - Choose how often batches go out: every day, every week, or every month.
The first batch publishes immediately. Subsequent batches are scheduled automatically based on your frequency. You can see the expected publish date for queued pages in the table.
To publish everything at once, turn off the Drip Publishing toggle. You can also cancel a drip publish job at any time - pages that haven't been published yet will go back to "Not Published."
Draft Mode
Draft Mode publishes pages to your CMS as drafts instead of live pages. This lets you review content in your CMS before making it public.
Exporting
You can export your generated pages as CSV or JSON from the Publish tab, whether or not they've been published. Use the "Export" button in the toolbar.
Tips
Use Drip Publishing for any project with more than 25 pages. Gradual publishing is better for SEO indexing.
You can republish pages that are already published. This updates the existing page on your CMS rather than creating a duplicate.
If a page fails, you can fix the issue and retry it individually without republishing the entire batch.
Deleting a page in SEOmatic removes it from your project but does not delete it from your CMS. To remove it from your site, delete it directly in your CMS.
