Create your account & set your brand voice

3 minutes

  1. a.

    Go to vibeblogger.io/start and sign up. You'll get 100 free credits.

  2. b.

    Go to the Brand tab and fill in your brand details. This is how the AI learns to write like you:

    Blog/Brand Name — e.g., "The SaaS Playbook"
    Blog Description — What your blog is about in 1-2 sentences
    Industry/Niche — e.g., "B2B SaaS", "Fitness tech"
    Target Audience — Who you're writing for — be specific
    Tone — Professional, casual, technical, etc.
    Topics We Cover — Your main content themes
    Things to Avoid — Competitors, topics, or phrases to skip
  3. c.

    Go to API Keys in the nav, click "Generate Key", and copy it. Add it to your project's .env.local:

    VIBEBLOGGER_API_KEY=vb_live_your_key_here

Tip: The more detail you give in brand voice, the better your content will be. Paste 2-3 paragraphs of your best writing into the "Example Content" field so the AI can match your style.

Run the setup prompt

2 minutes

One prompt does everything. Go to the /start page and click "Copy setup prompt" in Step 3. Paste it into your coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.).

The prompt will:

Audit & fix your existing SEO

  • Add proper meta titles, descriptions, and Open Graph tags to every existing page
  • Fix heading hierarchy, add alt text to images, use semantic HTML
  • Create or update your sitemap and robots.txt
  • Add JSON-LD structured data to your homepage
  • Add canonical URLs to prevent duplicate content

Create your blog

  • Blog listing page and individual post pages
  • Renderers for all 16 content component types
  • SEO metadata, JSON-LD structured data, and breadcrumbs on every page
  • Dynamic sitemap and RSS feed

Submit to Google Search Console

5 minutes — don't skip this

Google Search Console — Add property

Why this matters: Without Search Console, Google may take weeks to discover your blog. With it, pages can be indexed in 2-7 days.

a. Add your site

  1. 1.

    Go to search.google.com/search-console and sign in.

  2. 2.

    Click "Add property" → "URL prefix" → enter your domain.

  3. 3.

    Verify ownership — pick whichever is easiest for you:

    HTML tag

    Copy the meta tag into your root layout.tsx metadata.

    DNS record

    Add a TXT record to your domain's DNS settings.

    HTML file

    Download the file and put it in your /public folder.

b. Submit your sitemap

  1. 1.

    In Search Console, go to Sitemaps in the left sidebar.

  2. 2.

    Enter blog/sitemap.xml and click Submit.

c. Request indexing for key pages

Paste your blog URL into the URL Inspection bar and click "Request Indexing". Do this for the blog listing page and your first few posts. Google typically indexes them within 2-7 days. The sitemap handles new posts automatically going forward.

What to expect: Indexing in 2-7 days. Rankings in 2-8 weeks. Meaningful organic traffic over 2-6 months. Consistent publishing accelerates this significantly.

4

Strategise & queue your content

5 minutes

Open the Chat panel on the right side of your dashboard. This is your AI blog strategist. Have a conversation about your SEO direction — it knows your niche, your competitors, and where the opportunities are.

Example prompts to get started:

"Research my niche and find the best keyword opportunities. What should we focus on first?"

"Analyze my top 3 competitors and find content gaps I should fill"

"Queue 40 blog posts targeting a mix of high-volume and long-tail keywords"

"Create a content calendar for the next 3 months"

The AI researches keywords, analyses search volume and difficulty, and adds topics directly to your queue. Posts start generating immediately.

Tip: Don't just queue topics — have a real conversation about your strategy. Ask it which keywords are realistic to rank for, what your competitors are missing, and what order to publish in. The better your strategy, the faster you'll see results.

5

Enable your agents

1 minute

Go to the Agents tab in your dashboard. Enable the agents that will keep your blog growing on autopilot:

Weekly Backlink Monitor

Finds backlink opportunities and tracks your domain authority growth

Recommended

Weekly Topic Research

You're done.

Your site's SEO is cleaned up. Your blog is live. Google is indexing your content. Your agents are publishing new posts and monitoring your backlinks automatically.

Go to your dashboard

What to do next

Review your first posts

Check the quality after a few posts generate. Tell the strategist to adjust tone or focus if needed.

Monitor Search Console

Check back in 1-2 weeks. You should see pages being indexed and impressions starting to appear.

Set up analytics

Add Google Analytics, Plausible, or PostHog to track your traffic growth. Search Console also shows organic performance.

Keep publishing

SEO rewards consistency. With your agents running, your blog grows automatically — just check in occasionally to review.
