Go to app.rankflo.io/signup. Create your account with email or Google/GitHub OAuth. You are immediately in the dashboard.
Step 2: Create a Project (1 minute)
Click "New Project", enter your website URL, and give it a name. RankFlo auto-detects your tech stack (Next.js, Astro, WordPress, etc.) and suggests the right integration approach.
Step 3: Connect Your AI Key (2 minutes)
Go to Settings → AI. Paste your OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API key. Or connect a local Ollama instance. This enables AI content generation at your own cost — RankFlo charges nothing for AI.
Step 4: Write Your First Post (5 minutes)
Click "New Post". Write a title and the block editor opens. Type naturally or click "Write with AI" to generate a draft from a prompt. The SEO scorer updates in real-time as you write — green means good, amber means needs work.

When your SEO score is above 80, click Publish. Your post is immediately available via the REST API at:
GET /api/v1/content?project_key=your_key&slug=your-postStep 6: Add Analytics (1 minute)
Add the tracker to your website:
<script src="https://app.rankflo.io/tracker.js" data-project-key="your_key" async></script>Traffic data starts appearing in your dashboard within minutes.
