Deep Research
Deep Research does the research work that otherwise takes hours: it searches the web, fetches and reads the content of the sources it finds, and synthesizes everything into a complete content package. One run gives you an article draft, outline, keywords, content gaps, FAQ, data tables and a source list.
The search and retrieval are real: every source in the Sources tab is an actual search hit that was actually read. The article itself, the keyword suggestions and the tables are AI synthesis of the retrieved material, not measured data. Treat the keyword numbers as suggestions, not as volume data.
Who it's for
Anyone writing pillar articles, knowledge content or thorough blog posts who wants source material, structure and a first draft in one operation.
Prerequisites
- Logged-in account with enough credits
- 40 credits for the base run
- Add-ons: Brand Voice Polish +10 (requires a project with Brand DNA), Persona Visuals +25 (requires a loaded persona), distribution packages +10 to +30
- The total is shown in the configuration card before you start
Step by step
- Enter the topic. Be specific: "local SEO for dentists in Bergen" beats "SEO" by a wide margin.
- Pick a depth: quick (5 sources, ~2 min), standard (10 sources, ~4 min) or deep (15 sources, ~6 min). Standard covers most needs.
- Choose language and any add-ons.
- Start the run and watch the progress. Results open in tabs when everything is done.
Reading the results
- Article and outline are drafts: a solid starting point that needs a manual edit before publishing.
- The Sources tab is the one to trust most. Check important claims against the originals; the links are clickable.
- The Keywords tab contains AI assessments without lookups in search volume data. If you need measured volumes, run the words through a keyword tool backed by DataForSEO afterwards.
- Content gaps and FAQ work well as input for follow-up articles and FAQ schema.
- "Copy all" gives you the full report as Markdown. "Send to editor" opens the content in the Flow editor.
Runs are saved to your history, where you can reopen and delete previous research sessions.
Common problems
- "Brand DNA not found": you enabled Voice Polish without brand info saved in a project. Fill in Brand DNA first, or turn the add-on off.
- The run fails before producing results: credits are refunded automatically. Try again, ideally with a narrower topic.
- An add-on fails after the base run: the base results still appear. Contact support if add-on credits were charged for an add-on that did not deliver.
Limitations
- The language choice controls both source search and output. If you need both languages, run twice.
- Social media domains are filtered out of the source search.
- Sources that cannot be fetched in time are skipped; the source list shows the status per source.
