This post explains a common situation readers and editors encounter when a news article — in this case an item from Dezeen — cannot be retrieved by an automated system.
I’ll outline why access failures occur and how to supply content for accurate summaries.
Based on three decades in architecture and engineering communications, I’ll share what to include so a short SEO-friendly summary or blog post can be produced quickly and well.
Why an article might be inaccessible to an automated retriever
Automated systems often fail to fetch content for a few predictable reasons.
The source may block bots, paywalls can prevent access, URL changes might break links, or network issues and timeouts can occur.
From an industry communications perspective, these failures are routine.

They are avoidable if authors and editors understand the constraints and prepare text accordingly.
When I can’t access the original article, I can still help — but I need key pieces of the story provided directly.
Below I explain exactly what makes a good, concise source submission for architecture and engineering topics.
What to paste or attach to get a high-quality summary
To turn a full article into an accurate, SEO-optimized blog post, provide the clearest possible input.
At minimum, include the headline, lede paragraph, and any passages that describe design intent, materials, structural systems, sustainability claims, client and design team names, and project timelines.
If available, include quotes and image captions.
Essential elements you should paste or attach for the fastest turnaround:
How I convert supplied text into a concise, SEO-friendly blog post
When you provide the elements above, I focus on extracting the most newsworthy points and shaping them into an accessible narrative.
My approach balances technical accuracy with readability.
Key optimization steps include identifying target keywords and creating a clear narrative arc (what, why, how, who).
I also highlight measurable facts or striking visuals that motivate clicks and shares.
Editorial checklist for architecture and engineering pieces
Use this checklist when preparing content to paste:
Pro tip: If you can’t paste the full article for copyright reasons, use a 200–400 word excerpt that covers the facts above. This is usually enough for a concise, 500–700 word blog post that ranks well for specific queries.
