Audience

Choosing a keyword is just the first step in creating great content. Equally important is defining your target audience. This allows Machined.ai to tailor keywords and articles to the specific interests and needs of the people you want to reach.

Setting the audience​

Target audience is required for every cluster and single article.

It's pre-filled from your project's target audience, set in Project settings → Basic info. You can edit it for any individual cluster or article. Every article in a cluster uses the cluster's audience.

The audience is about who you're writing for. The language and country are set separately. See Language and country.

Why audience matters​

When you define your target audience precisely, you enable Machined to create content that resonates with them. This leads to higher reader satisfaction, increased engagement and better conversions.

By defining your target audience, you help Machined to:

  • Create personalized content: the AI produces content that speaks directly to your audience's preferences, pain points and interests
  • Enhance engagement: tailored content increases time on site and encourages readers to explore related articles
  • Improve conversion rates: content that addresses specific needs can influence decision-making
  • Maintain focus: understanding your audience helps avoid content drift, keeping articles cohesive and valuable

Be specific​

Precision is key to generating accurate and engaging content. The more detailed and specific your audience definition, the better Machined can tailor the content.

Vague audience​

Health enthusiasts

This gives a general direction but lacks the specifics needed for focused content.

Specific audience​

Fitness enthusiasts in their 30s, interested in high-intensity interval training and plant-based diets

This includes age group, fitness preferences and dietary preferences. The generated content will be much more tailored to these exact interests.

Create separate clusters for different audiences​

To maximize the impact of your content, create a separate cluster for each audience segment. A single cluster should focus on one particular audience, ensuring the content aligns with their specific needs.

Example​

Same keyword, different audiences:

  • Keyword: dealing with stress as a parent Audience: Working parents balancing a full-time job and family life

  • Keyword: dealing with stress as a parent Audience: Single parents managing parenting responsibilities alone

  • Keyword: dealing with stress as a parent Audience: Parents with two children under 2

Each cluster will produce very different content, tailored to the specific circumstances of each audience.
