Frequently asked questions

Magicdraft connects to your WordPress site via the REST API, crawls your existing content to map your topic coverage, then identifies high-value topics you haven't written about yet.

Magicdraft works with WordPress 5.6 and later. Application Passwords were introduced in WordPress 5.6, which is the only technical requirement. Both WordPress.org (self-hosted) and WordPress.com Business plans are supported.

Magicdraft crawls every page on your site and maps the topics you've already covered. Then it cross-references that map with search demand in your niche to identify high-value topics you haven't written about. The result is a prioritized list of content gaps sorted by search volume and competition.

When you upgrade to a paid plan, you typically get a trial period of full access before being charged — see current pricing for details. Cancel anytime during the trial and you won't be billed. After the trial, billing is monthly. The free plan doesn't require a trial — it's free forever.

Your article count resets on your billing date each month. If you hit your limit, you can upgrade your plan or wait for the reset. Gap analysis and site crawling remain available even if you've used all your article credits.
