🎯 How Bing Integration Works

The Magic Behind the Scenes

When you generate an article, the system:

Loads Bing Opportunities

// Finds low-CTR pages related to your topic
{
  url: "/wifi-speeds-slow/",
  impressions: 5234,
  ctr: 0.8%,
  potentialGain: 890  // clicks/month if improved
}

Finds Real Search Queries

// What people actually search for
{
  query: "why is wifi 7 slower than expected",
  impressions: 1240,
  clicks: 3,
  position: 8.2
}

Builds Enhanced Prompt for Gemini

BING DATA:
- 3 low-CTR pages to improve
- 5 search queries to address
- Keyword: "wifi 7 slow" (1,240 searches/month)

Generate article that:
- Addresses these specific queries
- Better titles than existing pages
- 1200-1500 words
- Includes Amazon affiliate links

Gemini Generates Optimized Article
- Uses real search data
- Stays within word limits
- Includes relevant keywords naturally
- Addresses actual user problems

Example: Real Bing Integration

Your Topic: "WiFi 7 router slower than expected"

Bing Finds:

890 monthly searches for "why is wifi 7 slow"
Your existing page has 5,234 impressions, 0.8% CTR
3 related pages with poor performance

Gemini Creates:

Title: "Why Is My WiFi 7 Router Slower Than Expected? (2025 Fix)"
1,456 words (perfect range!)
Addresses all 5 search queries
5 Amazon product recommendations
Quality score: 92/100 ✅
Auto-submitted to Bing IndexNow

📊 Understanding the New Word Limits

Why We Changed from 3000 to 1500 Words

The Problem with 3000-Word Articles:

❌ Lower engagement (people don't finish reading)
❌ Higher bounce rates
❌ Slower to generate
❌ Higher API costs
❌ Harder to maintain quality throughout

Benefits of 1200-1500 Word Articles:

✅ Better engagement metrics
✅ People actually finish reading
✅ Faster generation (20-30 seconds)
✅ Lower costs (~$0.01-0.03 per article)
✅ More focused, actionable content
✅ Better for mobile readers

The Sweet Spot

1200 words = Minimum (quick reads)
1400 words = Target (balanced)
1500 words = Maximum (comprehensive but not overwhelming)

Article Length Guidelines

Article Type	Word Count	Use Case
Quick Fix	1200-1300	"How to reset router"
Standard Guide	1300-1400	"Best WiFi 7 routers"
Comprehensive	1400-1500	"Complete WiFi setup guide"
