@sovrnholdings releases Workbench, a WordPress plugin that converts content to Facebook Instant Articles

This month’s expansion of Facebook Instant Articles to all publishers and the recent inclusion of AMP formatted articles in Google search results, means publishers need more options and tools to help them distribute their content in these new formats.

“Social media is increasingly dependent upon and powered by the content of independent publishers,” said Walter Knapp, CEO of Sovrn. “Publishers need easy ways to format, distribute, monetize and report on their valuable content across multiple publishing platforms. Sovrn Workbench is a first step in realizing that vision.”

Workbench delivers traditional web content in Instant Articles format and places Facebook Audience Network ads automatically within those articles.

The Sovrn Workbench plugin is available for WordPress publishers to download today at www.sovrn.com/workbench.
