Newsdesk — the managed content engine, set up for your business

Your business publishes every week.
Nobody on your team writes a word.

Newsdesk watches the sources that matter in your market, picks what is actually worth writing about, writes it in your voice with the sources cited, and publishes it to your site — with the structured data that gets you found by Google and quoted by AI assistants.

RDZ's own blog runs on it — EN + FR, unattended 9 markets in production 602 city pages published bilingual You approve before anything goes live
The problem

Everyone knows they should publish.
Almost nobody actually does.

Not because it doesn't work. Because it needs someone to have an idea on Tuesday, research it on Wednesday, write it on Thursday, and still care about it on Friday — every week, forever. That person doesn't exist in most companies, and the freelancer you hired went quiet after month three.

Newsdesk is the one that still cares on Friday. It is not a writing tool you have to remember to open. It is a pipeline that runs on a schedule whether or not anyone thinks about it — and puts a finished draft in front of you for approval.
How it runs

Five steps. Every week. Without you.

This is the actual production loop — the same one that publishes RDZ's own blog twice a day in two languages.

Step 01

Source

Reads the feeds that matter in your market — trade press, regulators, suppliers, industry bodies — assembled into a source set during setup. Paywalled and low-trust domains are blocked.

Step 02

Select

Ranks what appeared in the last 48 hours and picks one story with an angle that fits your business. Checked against a 90-day history so you never publish the same idea twice.

Step 03

Write

Writes it in your voice, in every language you sell in, with sources cited and internal links drawn only from an allow-list of your real URLs. No invented statistics, no invented pages.

Step 04

Illustrate

Produces a hero image and its alt text, plus the SEO metadata: title, description, slug, focus keyword and secondary keywords — with the character counts already inside the limits.

Step 05

Publish

You approve, it publishes to your CMS — with schema.org markup, the sitemap updated and your llms.txt refreshed so answer engines can find it.

A real output

What lands in your inbox every week.

Not a wall of text. A finished, publishable object — and everything you need to judge it in thirty seconds.

How it will look in search

F-gas rules changed: what it means for heat pump quotes
harbourplumbing.co.uk › insights › f-gas-heat-pump-quotes
The F-gas quota tightened again in January. What changed for domestic heat pump installs, and how to price a job without absorbing the difference.

Title 55 chars  ·  Description 146 chars  ·  Focus keyword: f-gas heat pump

Sources it actually read

Cited in the article, linked, and checked for date.

  • UK Government — F-gas regulation guidance
  • Heat Pump Association — installer bulletin
  • Two named wholesaler price lists

If a claim has no source, it does not go in the article. That rule is enforced before you ever see the draft.

The article skeleton

Structure chosen for the content type — a regulatory update reads differently from a buyer's guide.

  • What actually changed in January
  • The quota step-down, in plain numbers
  • Which refrigerants are affected
  • What it does to the cost of a domestic install
  • Worked example: a 9 kW retrofit
  • How to price it without eating the difference
  • What to tell a customer who asks why the quote went up
  • What is coming next
Internal links: 2 — both pulled from your allow-list
/services/heat-pump-installation · /contact

Length is chosen by the story, not by a quota. A 300-word note when 300 words is the honest answer; 1,200 when it earns it.

The part nobody else is doing

Everyone is optimising for Google.
Almost nobody is optimising for the answer engines.

A growing share of buyers now ask an assistant instead of a search engine — and assistants quote sources. Being quoted is a different job from ranking, and it needs machinery most sites simply do not have. Every Newsdesk site ships with it.

A typical "AI blog" package

  • Volume for its own sake — the same idea rephrased
  • Claims with no source behind them
  • Invented internal links that return 404
  • No structured data beyond whatever the theme emits
  • Nothing at all for AI crawlers

Newsdesk

  • One story per run, chosen because something happened
  • Every claim traceable to a dated, named source
  • Internal links restricted to an allow-list of your real URLs
  • Organization, WebSite, BlogPosting and FAQPage JSON-LD on every page
  • A maintained llms.txt and an /for-ai briefing — the same layer this site runs

Curious what that layer looks like? This site has one — read it, then ask your own assistant about Newsdesk.

Quality control

Written by a machine.
But not machine-written.

You can spot AI filler in one paragraph, and so can your customers. These are the actual rules the writer runs against — not marketing copy about quality, the constraints themselves.

The banned-phrase list

delve, landscape, unlock, seamless, leverage, game-changer, revolutionise, "in today's fast-paced", "it's worth noting" — and the rest of the tells. Stripped by instruction, then checked.

Zero invented facts

No statistic, price, date or regulation without a source it actually read. When the answer is genuinely uncertain, the article says so instead of guessing confidently.

Links from an allow-list only

The writer can only link to URLs you have confirmed exist. Inventing a path is treated as a hard failure and the draft is rejected, not published.

No word quota

Length varies deliberately. Padding an article to hit a number is the fastest way to sound like a robot, so there is no number to hit.

Your voice, written down

Setup produces a voice specification: your reader, your offer, the claims you refuse to make, your trade's vocabulary. It is a document you own, not a hidden setting.

You approve

Drafts wait for your word by default. Move to approving the weekly plan — or to straight-through publishing — only when you want to.

What it would cost you today

Do the math on a dedicated resource.

The alternative to Newsdesk is not "nothing". It is a person, a freelancer or an agency — and one of those costs the same in a quiet month as in a busy one. Here is roughly what year one looks like.

FAQ

The questions everybody asks.

Will Google penalise us for AI-written content?

Google's guidance is about quality and usefulness, not about how content was produced. What gets penalised is thin, unsourced, duplicated filler published at volume. Newsdesk is built the other way round: one story at a time, chosen because something actually happened in your market, sources cited, internal links restricted to a URL allow-list, and a human approving before it goes live. If the article would embarrass you, it should not publish — that is the whole design constraint.

Whose voice is it?

Yours. Setup includes building the voice specification: who you are writing for, what you sell, what you refuse to claim, the vocabulary of your trade, and a banned-phrase list that strips the usual AI tells. Every article is written against that spec, and you keep it — it is a document, not a black box.

Who approves before it publishes?

You do, by default. Articles arrive as drafts for approval and publish on your word. Once you trust the output, you can move to approving the weekly plan instead of each article, or to straight-through publishing. Approval-gated by default is the RDZ doctrine on every agent we ship.

Which CMS do you support?

WordPress is native — we publish through a purpose-built endpoint, including multilingual pairing. Shopify, Webflow, HubSpot and most headless CMSes are supported through their APIs. If yours has no usable API, Newsdesk delivers finished articles with all the metadata and someone on your side pastes them — that is the Studio tier.

What if we sell in more than one language?

Each article is written natively in each language rather than translated — the local version is rewritten for a local reader, with its own title, meta description, slug and keyword. English plus one local language is included in Autopilot. Beyond that is Newsroom.

How long until the first article is live?

Setup runs about two weeks: voice specification, source set for your market, topic map, internal-link allow-list, CMS connection and the GEO layer. The first article is approved and live before setup is invoiced as complete.
