Writing styles

What is a style profile?

A style profile bundles a name + tone description + audience + length target + optional sample paragraph. Every article generated under that profile inherits these constraints. They live in MrNiche Autoblogger Pro → Styles.

Anatomy of a profile

• Name — internal label (e.g. “Tech editorial”, “Friendly how-to”)
• Tone — 1–2 sentences (e.g. “Authoritative but approachable. Like a senior engineer explaining to a junior.”)
• Audience — who’s reading (e.g. “WordPress site owners with intermediate technical knowledge”)
• Length target — word count window (e.g. 1,800–2,400)
• Sample paragraph (optional but powerful) — paste 1–2 paragraphs of writing you want GPT to mimic

Common style templates

“Tech editorial”

Tone: Authoritative, slightly opinionated. Treats the reader as smart. Includes concrete numbers and examples. Mild dry humor allowed.
Audience: Developers and technical product people.
Length: 1,800–2,400 words.

“Friendly how-to”

Tone: Warm, encouraging. Acknowledges this stuff is confusing. Lots of “you” and “we”, short sentences, occasional asides.
Audience: WordPress beginners.
Length: 1,200–1,800 words.

“Recipe blog”

Tone: Personal, story-led intro then methodical instructions. Specific times, temps, quantities. Optimistic.
Audience: Home cooks of mixed skill levels.
Length: 1,000–1,500 words.

Knowledge Anchors New in v5.11

Each style profile has an optional Knowledge Anchors field. It solves a specific problem: MrNiche Autoblogger asks the model to “be specific” in every article (named tools, real numbers, concrete examples) and forbids it from fabricating statistics, study citations, or named people. Without a source pool, the model either invents numbers anyway or stays generic. Anchors close that gap.

Paste real, verified facts about your business, products, or topic into the field — numbers, dates, prices, named features, customer counts, real quotes. When an article needs a specific, the AI draws from this list verbatim instead of fabricating one.

Examples — anchors for a SaaS product

- 7-day free trial on all plans, cancel anytime, no charge
- Single plan: 1 site, $19.99 one-time (1 year of updates, optional renewal $6/yr)
- Triple plan: 3 sites, $49 one-time (most popular tier, optional renewal $15/yr)
- Unlimited plan: lifetime updates, never renew
- Background queue runs every 2 minutes via WP-Cron — no PHP timeouts
- Articles average 1,400–3,000 words with the multi-pass writer enabled

Examples — anchors for a recipe blog

- Sourdough proof times: 4–6 hours bulk at 75°F, 12–18 hours cold retard
- House bread flour: King Arthur, 12.7% protein
- Standard Dutch oven: Lodge 5.5-quart, preheats at 500°F for 45 minutes
- We've tested 60+ rye variations since starting the blog in 2022
- Always weigh flour in grams — volume cups are off by ±15%

Format and length

• One fact per line, or short paragraphs — both work. The model picks what’s relevant per article.
• Aim for under ~3,000 characters (~750 tokens) to leave room for article content.
• Anchors travel with the style profile, not the article. Multiple businesses or content niches → separate styles, each with its own anchors.
• Leave empty if you don’t have facts to share. Articles still generate — just without cite-able specifics.

What anchors do NOT do

• They do not force every fact into every article — the model only cites what’s topically relevant.
• They do not bypass the no-fabrication rule. The model is instructed not to extrapolate, modify, or round your facts.
• They do not change article length, structure, or tone — those are still controlled by your style prompt and Article Prompt.

Assigning styles to categories

In AutoPilot → Source categories, each category has a Style profile dropdown. Pick your profile, save. AutoPilot uses it for all articles generated under that category. Manual generation also lets you pick a style per-article from the same dropdown.

The humanizer pass

Every article goes through a humanizer pass after the main expansion — a second GPT call that rewrites for natural rhythm, variable sentence length, and removes the giveaway “AI tells” (overuse of “delve”, “tapestry”, em-dashes). Toggle in SEO Settings → Generation → Humanizer. Adds ~30% to generation cost, but the readability difference is large.
