Key Concepts

Grid Structure

AirOps Grid is a flexible, table-like structure where each row represents an individual piece of content. You can start with a blank grid, import content from a CSV, CMS, or Google Search Console. The grid is designed to be worked on from left to right, with each colored column representing a workflow.

Workflows and Power Steps

Workflows are the building blocks of your content production process in AirOps Grid. They can be linked to columns, allowing you to chain together different steps in your content generation pipeline. Power Steps are pre-built workflows that represent best practices and combined knowledge from hundreds of customers.

Output Columns and Content Review

Workflow columns generate output columns, which can contain various types of data, such as markdown, HTML, select lists, and URLs. You can click on individual pieces of output to add them as columns or create new grid sheets from array outputs. The grid allows you to easily review and edit generated content, ensuring it's ready for the next stage in the production process.

CMS Integration and Performance Monitoring

AirOps Grid offers direct integration with content management systems like Webflow, allowing you to push generated content directly to your CMS collection. Additionally, you can add Google Search Console data to monitor the performance of your published pages, tracking metrics like impressions, clicks, and average search position.
