In the fast-paced world of digital marketing, content is king—but producing high-quality, SEO-optimized content at scale can be a daunting task. Imagine if you could automate the entire content creation process, from in-depth research to publishing on your website, all while maintaining your brand’s unique voice. In this blog post, we’ll delve into how we built a 15-agent AI system that revolutionized content production for an SEO agency specializing in e-commerce brands. We’ll explore the challenges faced, the innovative solution implemented, and how you can build a similar system yourself.
The Challenge: Scaling Content Production for SEO
SEO agencies often grapple with the need to produce a large volume of high-quality content to improve search rankings and drive organic traffic. Traditional methods involve hiring content writers, which can be time-consuming and expensive. For an agency focusing on fashion e-commerce brands, the goal was to significantly increase content output without compromising on quality or breaking the bank.
The Solution: A 15-Agent AI System
To address this challenge, we developed a multi-layered AI system comprising 15 specialized agents. This system doesn’t just generate content—it automates the entire content creation workflow:
- In-depth Research: Conducts comprehensive topic, keyword, and competitor analysis.
- Content Brief Creation: Develops detailed briefs to guide the writing process.
- Tailored Writing: Produces content in the brand’s unique tone of voice.
- Product Integration: Accesses the company’s product database to include relevant products.
- SEO Optimization: Incorporates keywords, internal and external links, FAQs, tables, and images.
- Automated Publishing: Posts content directly to the client’s website, whether it’s built on Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, or others.
How Does the Multi-Agent System Work?
The AI system is structured into three layers:
- Director Agent: Oversees the entire process, orchestrating tasks and ensuring seamless workflow.
- Manager Agents: Each manager handles a specific aspect of content creation—research, briefing, drafting, and final writing.
- Sub-Agents: Execute specialized tasks under each manager, such as keyword analysis, topic research, and competitor evaluation.
This hierarchical approach allows for meticulous attention to detail at each stage, ensuring the final content is comprehensive and optimized for SEO.
Results: Dramatic Improvements in Efficiency and Output
Implementing this AI system led to impressive results for the agency and its clients:
- Increased Output Volume: The agency went from producing 150 pieces of content every 2.5 months to generating the same amount daily.
- Cost Reduction: Content creation costs dropped from $50 to approximately $1.50 per piece.
- Improved SEO Metrics: Clients experienced significant growth in clicks and impressions over three months, with one client increasing from 750 to nearly 2,000 daily clicks.
Note: While seasonal and industry factors also influence these metrics, the agency attributed much of the growth to the increased content volume enabled by the AI system.

System Breakdown: Tools and Workflow
The system was built using Relevance AI and Make.com, both no-code platforms that facilitate building complex automation workflows.
Relevance AI
A no-code AI agent builder that allows the creation of multi-agent systems. It enables the development of specialized agents for tasks like:
- Keyword research using tools like SEMrush.
- Topic and competitor analysis via Google Search and web scraping.
- Content drafting and finalization with access to product databases and brand guidelines.
Make.com
An automation platform used to integrate various tools and services, simplifying tasks like:
- Triggering actions from a CRM (e.g., ClickUp or Airtable).
- Publishing content to websites built on different platforms.
- Managing data flow between agents and updating the CRM.
Workflow Overview
- Triggering Content Creation: The process begins when a new content request is added in the CRM.
- Research Phase: The research manager delegates tasks to sub-agents for keyword, topic, and competitor research.
- Content Briefing: A content brief manager compiles the research into a structured brief.
- Drafting and Writing: The content drafter creates an initial draft, which is then refined by the final content writer.
- Publishing: The SEO director agent reviews the content and publishes it to the client’s website.

Demo Highlights: What the System Can Do
During testing, the system showcased its ability to:
- Generate Diverse Content Types: From blog posts and product descriptions to category pages and landing pages.
- Include Dynamic Elements: Automatically insert product images, specifications, prices, and stock photos.
- Maintain Brand Consistency: Write in the brand’s tone of voice by referencing existing content examples.
For instance, when tasked with creating a “Top 5 Best Nike Running Shoes” article, the system:
- Researched and selected the top products.
- Generated content including key features, specs, and pricing.
- Pulled product images from the database.
- Formatted the content with headings, bullet points, and tables.
