Quick Start on seodash.app
If you signed up for the hosted SaaS, the platform handles every piece of infrastructure you'd otherwise need to set up yourself: a verified Google OAuth app, a managed AI provider, transactional email, the PageSpeed API key. From signup, you only need to do two things.
1. Add your first site
From /welcome after signup, paste the URL of the site you want to track. This is the first step of the onboarding wizard.
2. Connect your Google account
Click Connect Google. You'll see an official Google consent screen asking for read-only access to Search Console and (optionally) Analytics. Approve, and your data flows in automatically, with no "unverified app" warning, because the SEO Dash app is already verified by Google. SEO Dash detects which Search Console property your site maps to and starts pulling data.
What's already configured for you

Optional: bring your own keys (BYOK)
Some SEO data sources require your own paid subscription. If you have one, plug the key in at Settings → SEO Data and SEO Dash unifies that data with everything else:
- Ahrefs: domain rating, backlinks, organic keywords. See Ahrefs & Moz.
- Moz: domain authority, spam score. Same article.
- SEMrush: authority score, traffic estimates. See SEMrush setup.
- Majestic: trust flow, citation flow. See Majestic setup.
- SERP API: Google Trends + competitor SERP analysis. Pro and Scale tiers include a managed allocation; bring your own SerpAPI / ValueSERP key to skip the cap.
You can also bring your own AI key (Anthropic or OpenAI) in Settings → AI / LLM: runs against your key are unmetered. See BYOK LLM.

What to do first
- Explore
/overview: your unified per-site dashboard. The "What Changed" card surfaces material shifts since your last visit. - Open
/facts(the change feed): title rewrites, ranking moves, cross-source disagreements, audit regressions. - Try the AI agent: click the chat icon and ask "what changed on /pricing this week?" or "summarize my SEO this month".
- Run a crawl at
/crawls: powers semantic search, internal-linking suggestions, and the agent's site-aware answers. - Build a topical map at
/topical-maps: LLM-clustered content pillars from your GSC queries and crawled pages. - (Pro+) Schedule a briefing on the Reports page: recurring reports delivered to email, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord.
