What Byline is
Byline is web software for keyword research and SEO article production, combining discovery, generation, scoring, and editorial revisions. Its discovery agent asks about the topic and audience, creates 15–20 targeted keyword seeds, then queries the API. For a chosen keyword, Byline produces a structured article shaped around search intent and checks retrievability and citability before publication. Article scoring is done in code, with evidence shown for each finding; a separate editorial agent writes fixes but does not determine scores. That agent runs on Claude Sonnet and can review a full article or rewrite selected paragraphs. Growth and higher plans add memory for previous guidance across sessions and articles. Byline also says its keyword database is shared across accounts, so repeated queries may load from cache. It does not measure AI visibility, and says page HTML alone cannot do so. Plans are web-based and start at $49 a month; Starter includes 8 articles and 10 keyword sessions monthly, while Growth and Multi-Brand raise those allowances. Each plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, with refund requests made by email.
