Set up your project and get your first article live on your website. Onboarding walks you through six steps; this page explains each one.

​
Before you start

  • Your website address.
  • A login for your CMS (for example WordPress, Webflow, or Shopify).
  • A Google account with access to your site’s Search Console property.
  • A short description of what you sell, who buys it, and your main competitors.

​
Set up

1

Create or open your project

Sign in at rankai.ai/dashboard. Add your domain, or pick an existing project from the project switcher. Double-check the domain before you continue.
2

Business, Audience & Competitors

Fill in what you sell, who buys it, your competitors, and your writing language.
3

Setup Analytics

Click Connect Google Search Console and complete Google’s sign-in. See the Search Console guide.
4

Site Integration

Pick your platform and follow its blog integration guide.
5

Blog Post Settings

Add images, knowledge base documents, and writer notes so articles sound like you.
6

Auto Publish

Choose Auto Publish (Recommended) or Manual Publish. You can change it later in Settings → Site Integration.
Then open Keywords & Content, click View on your first article, and check it on your website.

​
You’re done when

  • The right project is selected.
  • Your CMS settings are saved.
  • Your first article opens on your website with the right title, text, and images.
An article showing in RankAI doesn’t mean it’s live yet. Framer needs a plugin sync, and a website built with code has to fetch articles through the API. Stuck? Contact support. Next, read what to expect.
