Paragraph length vs. time-on-page
We measured dwell time across 2,800 blog posts in our analytics network. Short paragraphs under-perform — but so do over-long ones.

Common mistakes & quick fixes
The 8 expansion failures we see most — and how to fix each.
Fluff and filler sentences
Fix: Ask the AI for specific data or examples, not synonyms. Re-run with one concrete input detail added.
Tone drifts to generic corporate
Fix: Switch tone to Casual or Friendly, or paste a 2-sentence sample of your brand voice into the input as reference.
Keyword missing from expansion
Fix: Include the target keyword in your seed sentence. The AI weaves in terms present in the input — not ones it has to guess.
Output contradicts your point
Fix: Your seed was too ambiguous. Add a clarifying phrase like "arguing that X" before expanding.
Too long / too short
Fix: Switch between Short, Medium, and Detailed. If Detailed still feels thin, your input is under-specified — add more context.
Repetitive sentence openings
Fix: Paste the output back and run again with "vary sentence openings" in the input. Or edit the first word of every sentence manually.
Academic output is too informal
Fix: Use "Academic writing" content type AND "Formal" tone together. Using only one isn't enough for dissertation-grade prose.
Product description lacks specs
Fix: The AI can't invent specs. Paste your product's dimensions, materials, or features into the input — then expand.
