What it does
Content types are reusable templates, or schemas, for everything you generate. You define a page type once: which fields it contains, the structure it must follow, whether it needs an FAQ section, and the register or level of formality it should be written in.
Once that definition exists, you can generate as many pieces of that type as you like, and every one of them lands in the same mold. For example, you might define a service page type, a blog post type, and a comparison type, then use each with its own distinct structure.
In short, content types set the skeleton of your output. You choose the topic, but the content type governs the format, length, sections, and tone that topic is rendered in.
Why it matters
A website can hold dozens or hundreds of pages. Formatting each one from scratch is slow and breeds inconsistency: one page's structure won't match another's, and some get an FAQ while others don't. Content types eliminate that chaos.
When you reuse the same type again and again, you achieve structural and tonal consistency across the whole site. Wherever a reader lands, they meet a familiar layout, which strengthens both the user experience and how well search engines understand your content.
It also makes scaling possible. Once the right types are set up, managing a growing content calendar shrinks from a series of one-off decisions into a single question: which type? That dramatically speeds up production.
How to use it
- 1
Open the Content Types page
In the dashboard, go to /hesabim/icerik-tipleri. You'll see the ready-made types and any custom types you've created laid out in a categorized grid.
- 2
Create a new type
Think about the kind of page you want to produce (for instance a service page, a guide, or a comparison) and give it a clear, descriptive name.
- 3
Define its fields and structure
Specify which fields the type contains and the section order it should follow. Every piece generated from this type will then share the same skeleton.
- 4
Decide whether it needs an FAQ section
Flag whether the content should include an FAQ section. Turning it on for page types where readers naturally have questions, and off for single-focus pages, yields more consistent results.
- 5
Set the register and formality
Choose the tone the type is written in: more formal and corporate, or more relaxed and conversational. This setting shapes the voice of every piece you generate from it.
- 6
Save it and select it when generating
After saving, you can pick the type at the template step of the new-content wizard. Generation will follow the structure you defined exactly.
- 7
Revise as your needs evolve
Update types whenever your needs change. An improvement you make to a type flows through to every new piece you generate from it.
Tips
- Set up a small number of well-defined types; keep your core types clear instead of opening a separate one for every minor variation.
- Name your types so the whole team understands their purpose at a glance.
- Enable the FAQ section only for page types where a reader would genuinely ask questions.
- Pick a register that matches your brand's overall voice, and keep tone consistent across types.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a content type and a piece of content?
A content type is a mold; it defines the structure, fields, and tone. A piece of content is a single item produced from that mold. You can generate as many pieces as you want from one type.
How many types can I create?
You can define as many types as you need. In practice, though, a handful of well-defined core types cover most sites and keep things easy to manage.
Can I change a type later?
Yes. You can update a type at any time, and your changes apply to the new content you generate from it afterward.
Can I generate content without choosing a type?
Generation always relies on a type, which is the skeleton that defines the structure and tone of the output. Choosing the right type is the foundation of consistent results.
