Superpowers for Content Creators: make sure to turn them on!

Flotiq is packed with features that make content creation faster, smoother, and way more fun. The catch? Some of them aren’t on by default. Time to check if your dev remembered to flip the right switches. No pressure. (Okay, maybe a little.)

Welcome to #FeatureDay – our new series showcasing the features that make your content life easier.

Picture this:You’ve just migrated your project to Flotiq. The switch from your old CMS? Surprisingly smooth - we know, that’s not usually the case. Welcome to our world! Your dev team handled the technical bits like pros. Now it’s your turn. You log in, and boom - everything is clean, clear, and just works. No more digging around to figure out where content lives. You’re ready to roll.

But here’s the real question:

Do you know about the features designed specifically to make your job as a content creator easier, faster, and less frustrating?

Let’s talk about the tools that go beyond the basics. These must-haves will level up your content workflow from day one.

1. Live Preview Plugin: Edit with Confidence

Editing content without knowing exactly how it looks on the page? No thanks.

With the Live Preview Plugin, you see your changes as you type - no need to hit save, no switching tabs, no guessing.

Why it’s a game-changer:

  • Instantly see the results of your work - no extra clicks

  • Prototype new ideas and layouts without publishing

  • Cut down on publishing mistakes

  • Train new team members faster

  • Understand how your content maps to your site in real time

💡 Example:

You’re tweaking a blog post draft. Before saving it, you hit the Live Preview button in the editor’s sidebar. Your changes pop up instantly in the real layout of your site - without needing to publish or reload.

2. SurferSEO Plugin: Built-in Optimization

The SurferSEO plugin brings SEO best practices into your writing workflow. As you type, you get live recommendations to help your content rank higher, right inside Flotiq.

What you get:

  • Instant SEO score updates

  • Keyword density tips

  • Easy-to-follow improvement suggestions

  • No more guesswork - just publish smarter

3. Google Search Console Plugin: One-Click Index Check

You’ve nailed the content. It’s optimized and published. Now what?

Flotiq’s Google Search Console plugin lets you check index status and request re-indexing without leaving your CMS. You don’t need the help of any dev here

What it does:

  • Integrates with your Google Search Console API

  • Shows real-time indexing status in the editor

  • Let you request re-indexing with a click

  • Helps speed up search visibility - no more waiting weeks

Perfect for SEO-savvy creators who want more control without bothering the dev team.

4. Multilingual Made Easy: With DeepL Magic

Ready to go global? Managing multilingual content in traditional CMS platforms can be messy - multiple entries, confusing interfaces, and endless copy-pasting. Not in Flotiq.

Our Multilingual Plugin (plus optional, but highly recommended, DeepL integration) lets you create, edit, and preview multilingual content from one place.

What makes it powerful:

  • Centralized multilingual content management

  • Automatic, high-quality translations with DeepL

  • Preview localized versions in real time

  • Reduce manual rework and ensure consistent brand messaging

Whether you’re crafting landing pages, product descriptions, or blog posts, Flotiq makes international publishing smooth and scalable.

5. Webhooks That Just Work: Auto-Refresh Blog Cache

Imagine this: you’ve published a new article, but it’s not live yet because the cache hasn’t refreshed. You’d usually ping a dev, wait, maybe follow up again... Not anymore.

With Flotiq’s Cache Refresh Webhook, your blog updates go live instantly - no extra steps, no waiting, no developer needed.

Why it matters:

  • Automates blog refreshes post-publish

  • Saves time and removes bottlenecks

  • Let you focus on what matters - creating

And this is just the beginning...These five features are just the start of what Flotiq has to offer for content creators. In the upcoming #FeatureDay articles, we’ll dive deeper into even more tools that boost productivity for editors and developers alike.

Stay tuned - and if you’re already using Flotiq, make sure you’re getting the most out of it.
