Getting Started with PrismSEO

This guide takes you from a new account to your first published article in about ten minutes. The core idea behind PrismSEO: instead of guessing keywords, it reads your real Google Search Console data to find opportunities you're already close to ranking for, then writes and publishes content against them.

Step 1 — Connect Google Search Console

Search Console is your data source. Connecting it is what makes PrismSEO's recommendations grounded in reality rather than generic keyword lists.

• Sign up and open the dashboard.
• Go to Integrations → Google Search Console and click Connect.
• Authorize PrismSEO with the Google account that owns your Search Console property (read-only access).
• Select the primary site you want to optimize.

PrismSEO requests read-only Search Console access. It reads your queries, pages, clicks, and impressions — it never modifies your Google account.

Step 2 — Verify your baseline signals

Give the data a moment to sync, then confirm PrismSEO can see your site:

• On the Overview, confirm impressions and clicks are populated.
• Check Keywords and Pages — these are your real opportunities, ranked by potential.
• Optional: run the AI Robots.txt Checker under Tools to confirm AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot) can reach your site — increasingly important for visibility in AI answers.

The queries where you're sitting on page 2 (positions 11–20) are usually your fastest wins: real demand, and you're already close.

Step 3 — Generate your first article

• From Keywords or Content, pick a query or opportunity.
• Click Generate Article.
• PrismSEO runs its pipeline: it scrapes the current top-ranking results, plans an outline from search intent, writes the article section by section, adds images, and runs a humanization pass so it doesn't read like boilerplate AI.
• Review the draft: title, meta description, structure, internal links, and images.

You can edit anything inline — text, headings, links, and images — before publishing.

Step 4 — Publish

Send the finished article to wherever your site lives:

• WordPress — publish as a draft or live post via Application Passwords.
• Framer CMS — push into a CMS collection with automatic field mapping.
• Webhook / Custom CMS — send the article to any stack (Next.js, headless CMS, internal pipeline).

Start in draft mode if your team reviews content before it goes live. Every publish attempt is logged in Publish History.

Step 5 — Build a repeatable rhythm

SEO compounds when publishing is consistent, not sporadic:

• Use the Content Calendar to plan topics and schedule output.
• Publish in small recurring batches rather than one big push.
• Review CTR and ranking movement every 7–14 days, and let real Search Console deltas — not vanity metrics — decide what to write next.
