Quillsly
Content built for the AI-search era. Quillsly plans pillars, researches the angle, drafts in your voice, and structures every article for two audiences: the reader in Google, and the model that builds AI answers. Standalone product at app.quillsly.com; also mounts inside Merkava as the content Drive.
Pillars, briefs, drafts, ship.
- Keyword + cluster planning. Build pillar topics with child articles, not one-off posts. Internal linking map generated in the same pass.
- Site-aware briefs. Quillsly reads your own site and your top competitors. Angles you haven't covered are surfaced; angles you already own are skipped.
- GEO-ready structure. Every draft is structured to surface in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews — claim-evidence-source formatting, citable statistics, clear entity definitions, schema.org JSON-LD attached. It's SEO that also gets cited in AI search.
- Voice tuning. Paste ten articles you've published; Quillsly drafts in that voice. No generic marketing register.
- Ships through Webster (soon) or your CMS. Direct push to Webster on approval. Until Webster launches, Markdown export or a WordPress / Ghost connector.
From pillar to published.
Pick the pillar.
Quillsly reviews your site, your ICP, and the search surface. You confirm the pillar; it generates the child-topic map.
Draft in your voice.
Each article gets a brief, a draft, and an internal-link recommendation. Edit in place; Quillsly learns from the edits.
Ship and measure.
Publish through Webster or your CMS. Beacon tracks rankings and AI-answer citations; Quillsly surfaces which drafts are earning, which are dormant.

Content is the hub.
Will my content show up in ChatGPT? Plainly answered.
Will my content show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini?
That's exactly what Quillsly optimizes for. Every draft is structured for AI-answer-engine citation: claim-evidence-source formatting, schema.org JSON-LD, FAQ blocks, named entities. The same article surfaces in Google AND in AI answers — you don't trade one for the other.
How is Quillsly different from Jasper or Copy.ai?
Jasper and Copy.ai are content generators — paste a prompt, get copy. Quillsly is a top-down workflow with strategy, pillar planning, keyword research with intent, briefs, GEO-structured drafting, and AI-answer-presence probing built in. Quillsly leaves you with a content system, not a stack of generated articles.
How is Quillsly different from Surfer or Clearscope?
Surfer and Clearscope optimize the article you're writing right now against Google's SERP — strong inside the article boundary, classic SEO only. Quillsly does the same content work AND adds the GEO layer (probes ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini for citation share), AND has a strategy layer above it. You ship a content plan, not optimized URLs.
Will optimizing for AI search hurt my Google ranking?
No. The on-page changes Quillsly produces — clean schema, complete FAQ blocks, semantic entity structure — make content easier for both Google's blue-link crawler AND AI answer engines to parse. The two goals reinforce each other; they don't trade off.
How does Quillsly work as a Merkava Drive vs. standalone?
Same Quillsly engine, two front doors. Standalone at app.quillsly.com if Merkava isn't your stack. Or as a Drive inside Merkava — installed once per venture, Merkava mounts Quillsly inline, content tagged to the Merkava entity layer (your contacts and accounts feed Quillsly's audience targeting). Same pricing either way.
Where does my content end up?
Quillsly exports to Markdown, opens a PR against your GitHub repo (when Webster ships, direct push), or hands off to your CMS via a WordPress / Ghost connector. Schema travels with the article so AI answer engines see the same structured data wherever you publish.
What does Quillsly cost as a Drive?
Quillsly is bundled into the GROWTH executive at $199/mo — that's CMO + 7 marketing specialists including Quillsly, Beacon, Nitrous, Webster, Affiliation, Freeform, and Manifest. Or hire the whole C-Suite at $599/mo. Standalone at app.quillsly.com starts at $49/mo (Write tier) up to $199/mo (Write + SAM + Outbound).
