So you have all your content on Google Docs and want to publish it to WordPress easily. For WordPress Google Docs integration, with DocsWrite you can push all of your content from Google Docs to WordPress in 1 Click. The good part is you do not need to install another plugin in your WordPress.

Why write in Google Docs in the first place?

Most seasonal bloggers and marketers prefer writing in Google Docs because of its excellent collaboration and lag-free experience. A strong feedback loop is required to produce good-quality content. When you provide feedback on an article, it improves the readability and quality significantly.

Also, there are a couple of other advantages when you compose your blog posts in a Google Doc.

There is no chance of losing your content.

As Google saves the document every few seconds and even if your internet goes down, you do not lose the content you have written. That’s extremely important.

You have a second copy of your content

If you write all of your content directly on WordPress, there is a good chance that you won’t have another copy of your original document. Hence it’s always better to keep one single source of truth.

Less technical blocker for a writer when you use Google Docs as the writing tool

For the writers, there is no need to provide them access to your WordPress. You can just simply create a Google Doc and share that with your user. That’s how you can very easily track what they are doing. Once they are done, you can proofread and then publish the Google Doc to your WordPress using docswrite.com

Why you should not directly copy-paste Google Docs to WordPress? Can I Upload a Google Doc to WordPress?

Yes, you can copy-paste your Google Doc directly. There are actually more issues than you imagine. Let me explain one by one

The Images are not copied over when you copy and paste Google Docs

It’s a huge problem . I assume you are producing high-quality blog posts in 2023 and you must have many images in your articles. But when you paste the article into WordPress’s Gutenberg editor, these images are still hosted at a private Google URL. It’s a very bad practice to publish the article without importing the images into the WordPress Media Library. These URLs are short-lived and can change anytime. The solution is to download the media and upload them to WP and replace those URLs. Now imagine doing it for every image and for multiple blog posts. That’s why people hire cheap editors from Fiverr and ask them to do it for themselves.

Unoptimized Images

If you look at your WordPress pagespeed insights, the scores can be low due to only one thing which is unoptimized images. Your entire 1000+ words are only a few KBs but an image can be 1024KB. It increases the response time significantly. People who care about their Google ranking and core web vitals, download all images and compress them and reupload them to WordPress manually. It creates unnecessary friction in the content-producing process.

What happens to links? Dofollow & Nofollow.

It’s a good idea to add a nofollow attribute to the links that you do not intend to give a backlink. Also, I suggest you add functionality to open all links in a new tab . So that people do not leave your website. If you use docswrite.com, it does it all automatically.
