The Challenge
Media.co.uk, a digital publishing and advertising platform, had accumulated 500+ blog posts that needed to be published to improve their SEO presence. However, uploading, formatting, and optimizing this volume of content manually was simply not feasible.
The breaking points:
- • 500+ blog posts sitting as PDFs, not published or indexed by search engines
- • Manual blog upload process was extremely time-consuming and inefficient
- • Each post needed proper formatting, H1s, H2s, meta descriptions for SEO
- • Internal linking strategy required finding relevant posts and pages—impossible to do manually at scale
- • Header images needed to be created for each post
- • No streamlined way to upload content to Shopify at scale
The backlog of unpublished content meant missed SEO opportunities, reduced organic traffic, and thousands of hours of potential manual work that would delay the content going live for months.
The Solution
We built a complete blog automation system featuring a custom PDF uploader that extracts, formats, optimizes, and publishes blog posts with AI-powered internal linking and automatic image generation.

4. Automatic Header Image Generation

What Makes This Different From Manual Blog Management
It's not just a content uploader. This system uses AI and vector databases to intelligently analyze content, create SEO-optimized structure, generate internal links, and publish—all automatically.
❌ Traditional manual approach:
Upload each PDF manually. Copy and paste content. Format headings and paragraphs. Write meta descriptions. Research and add internal links. Create header images in design tool. Format for Shopify. Publish. Repeat 500 times over several months.
✅ With Media.co.uk automation:
Upload PDFs in bulk. AI extracts content, formats everything, creates SEO metadata, generates internal links using vector database, creates header images, and publishes to Shopify. 500 posts done automatically.
Client Testimonial
Pat built something I didn't even know was possible. I had 500 blog posts sitting as PDFs that I thought would take months to publish. His system uploaded, formatted, optimized, and published everything automatically with proper internal linking and SEO. It's like having an entire content team working 24/7.
