Docs · Getting started
Add your first site
Paste a website, check what aeoo read from it, and add it. The first crawl starts straight away, and the first suggestions follow within minutes.
Before you start
You need to be an admin. Each website you look after is added as a client, with its own approvers, rules and budget.
1Open Add a client
On Today or Clients, choose Add a client.
2Paste the website and read it
Paste the address under The client’s website and choose Read the site. aeoo reads the home page once and fills in the name, what the business does, the platform the site is built on, and its market.
If the site turns the read away or doesn’t answer, choose Enter the details yourself and fill in what aeoo couldn’t read.
3Check the details
Fix anything that’s off: Name, What they do, Platform and Market. The market decides the country and language for searches and AI questions; you can change it later under Market and languages.
4Invite an approver, if you like
Add the email of the person at the client who approves changes. They get an email to sign in and approve, with no password. You can also invite approvers later; see Invite your team.
5Add the client
Choose Add client. The first crawl starts now, and nothing is published until an approver says yes.
What happens next
- The first crawl jumps the queue and usually takes 1 to 3 minutes.
- aeoo checks every page for problems, saves a dated record of the site, and drafts suggestions for the first six pages straight away.
- Search data is loaded right after the first crawl, instead of waiting for Monday.
