Quickstart
From sign-up to your first approved draft in under thirty minutes — minus the time the engine spends generating.
1. Create your account
Sign up at /register. You'll get a personal workspace automatically — that's the agency container that holds your sites, briefs, drafts, and team members. The plan defaults to Solo; you can change it later.
2. Add a site
From the dashboard, click Add site. WordBinder works against sites you control — give it a name and the canonical domain (e.g. example.com, no protocol).
Pick a vertical skill pack on this screen. The pack determines the page archetypes and service types that show up in brief intake. See the skill pack overview if you're unsure which one to pick.
3. Verify ownership
Verification proves you control the site before WordBinder crawls it. Drop a small token into your DNS or as a .well-known file. Once verified, the first crawl runs automatically.
Crawling costs us money per page and could be abused without ownership proof. Verification keeps unit economics healthy and stops anyone from analysing a site they don't own.
4. Wait for the first crawl
The first crawl indexes up to a few hundred pages, depending on your plan. While it runs, the site overview shows progress; once finished, the Site nav unlocks Briefs, Drafts, Refresh, Links, and Pages.
5. Generate your first brief
Click New brief in the site nav. Pick a target keyword, fill in the intake (page archetype, service type, search location), and submit. Generation takes 20–40 seconds while WordBinder fetches the live SERP and runs the per-vertical skill.
6. Approve the brief, generate a draft
Review the brief — outline, FAQ, schema recommendations, internal-link suggestions. Edit any section in place. Click Approve when ready, then Generate draft. The draft takes another 60–90 seconds.
7. Review and approve the draft
Drafts come back as full markdown with the brief's outline as scaffolding. Edit any section, regenerate it, or approve the whole thing. Approved drafts can be exported as markdown or HTML.
What's next
- Read the Refresh pillar docs — once your site has been crawled twice, decaying pages start surfacing automatically.
- Read the Internal links pillar — once embeddings populate, link opportunities surface within minutes.
- Invite teammates from workspace settings.
