Welcome to ContentMonk

ContentMonk helps you track how your brand shows up in AI search engines, monitor your SEO rankings, find content opportunities based on real competitive data, and create articles, LinkedIn posts, and Reddit posts - all from one place.
​

This article walks you through the product so you know where everything is and what each section does.
​

The left sidebar is your main navigation. Everything is grouped into three sections: Content & Operations, AI Visibility, and SEO. At the bottom you'll find Workspace Settings and your account menu.
​

Here's what each page does.

This is where you create content and act on the opportunities ContentMonk finds for you.
​

Content Editorial is where all your articles live. You can create new articles from scratch or have ContentMonk research a topic, generate a brief, and write a first draft for you.
​

Each article moves through a step-by-step flow - Planning, Brief, Content, Finalize & Publish, and Repurpose.
​

You can edit inline, leave comments for your team, get auto-suggested internal links, and share articles with teammates or external stakeholders. When you're done, copy the article to your CMS with all formatting preserved, or export it.
​

This is also where articles created from Opportunities and Prompts end up.

​Social Editorial is for LinkedIn posts and Reddit posts. You can create them from scratch or repurpose an existing article into multiple posts.

ContentMonk analyzes your target subreddits and generates posts that fit each community. You can organize everything on a calendar view and assign posts to different team members.

Knowledge Base is where you upload documents that ContentMonk uses as context when writing - transcripts, reports, strategy docs, product descriptions, anything that contains insights about your business.

The more relevant material you add here, the better ContentMonk understands your brand and produces content that sounds like you, not like a generic AI.

Opportunities is where ContentMonk turns all your tracking data into specific actions. It analyzes your prompts, keyword rankings, and competitor data and surfaces things you can do right now - keywords to target, content gaps to close, pages to update, sites to reach out to, Reddit threads and LinkedIn posts to engage with.

Each opportunity type has its own tab, and most let you kick off the content creation process directly with one click. The number on the tab in the sidebar tells you how many open opportunities you have.

Competitors is where you manage which competitors ContentMonk tracks across the product. Once you add a competitor here, their data shows up automatically in the Overview, Prompts, Sources, Rank Tracker, and Opportunities.

Adding competitors is one of the first things worth doing after onboarding - it powers a lot of the product!

This section tracks how your brand appears in AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity. ContentMonk runs your tracked prompts through all four models daily and reports back on visibility, sentiment, position, and which sources are being cited.

Overview is the main AI visibility dashboard. It shows brand visibility trends over time, how you rank against competitors, which AI models mention you, which sources get cited, and what AI engines are actually saying about you.

Prompts is where you manage the prompts ContentMonk tracks - the actual questions people ask AI assistants about your category. You can add them manually, import a list, or use ContentMonk's suggestions. Each prompt shows visibility data, sentiment, position, and which competitors appear in the answers.

You can also click into any prompt to see its full detail page, or hit Write Article to have ContentMonk research and start drafting content for it.

Sources shows which domains and URLs are being cited by AI models when answering your tracked prompts. You can see citation counts, influence scores, and content types.

The Gaps filter lets you find sources where competitors are cited but you're not - useful for identifying outreach targets.

Rank Tracker lets you track your Google keyword rankings over time and compare them against competitors. You can add keywords manually, import them, or use ContentMonk's suggestions based on your site. Each keyword shows position, search volume, traffic estimates, and difficulty.

Competitor positions show up side by side so you always know where you stand.

ContentMonk uses workspaces to organize everything. If you're an agency, each client brand gets its own workspace. If you're an in-house team, you might just have one.

Click the workspace name in the top left corner to switch between workspaces or create a new one. The brand filter in the filter bar at the top of the page also lets you switch context within a workspace if you're tracking multiple brands.

Workspace Settings is at the bottom of the sidebar. This is where you manage general settings, your team, style guides for content generation, content types, and integrations.

Each team member can have their own writing style - ContentMonk analyzes sample articles or documents you provide and uses that style when generating content for that author.

The top right corner of the screen has a few tools you'll use regularly.

Help & Resources (the question mark icon) opens a panel with a product walkthrough video, links to help articles for the page you're on, and a way to contact support directly.

Credits & Usage (the coin icon) shows your current plan limits and how much you've used - content items generated, credits, daily prompt runs, tracked keywords, knowledge base items, workspaces, competitors tracked, and users.

Credits are consumed for things like repurposing content into social posts, using AI to rewrite paragraphs, and running content updates. Article generation and prompt tracking don't consume credits.

Click "View billing & plan details" at the bottom to manage your subscription.

Read more in Understanding Your Plan.

Notifications (the bell icon) shows alerts for new opportunities, completed content research, and other updates across your workspaces.

Dark/Light mode (the toggle icon on the far right) switches between dark and light themes.

Click your name at the bottom left of the sidebar to access Account Settings, Billing, and Logout.

Account Settings is where you update your profile information. Billing takes you to the same place as "View billing & plan details" in the Credits & Usage panel.

The best results come from using all three together - tracking visibility, monitoring rankings, and acting on the opportunities ContentMonk surfaces for you.
