The Challenge

Freeyork publishes 25-30 articles a week employing just two editors. As a small publisher competing with bigger players, Freeyork’s editorial team needed a secret weapon be productive and to stay ahead of their competition. Therefore, they chosed to rely on AI to improve the magazine’s editorial workflow. 

The Solution

Freeyork chose WordLift to annotate its content with schema.org markup in order to improve content organization and SEO.

I wanted to make WordPress more intelligent and that’s exactly what WordLift does. At first, when I introduced WordLift to the team, they were skeptical about it and stated “Why we need this, tags are doing the same job with a less effort anyway”, but I kept on pushing because there is a huge potential in this.
