# Quick Start Guide

> Get up and running with Sight AI in 5 minutes.

## Overview

This guide will walk you through the essential steps to start using Sight AI. By the end, you'll have your account set up, your first site connected, and be ready to generate content.

## Step 1: Create Your Account

**Time: 1 minute**

1. Go to [app.trysight.ai/signup](https://app.trysight.ai/signup)
2. Sign up with Google (fastest) or create an account with email
3. Your 7-day free trial starts automatically (credit card required, not charged until trial ends)

## Step 2: Add Your Website

**Time: 1 minute**

1. From the onboarding flow, enter your website **domain** (we'll use HTTPS and detect your sitemap for you)
2. Pick a plan to start your trial
3. Sight AI **finishes setup automatically** — it detects your sitemap and blog and uses AI to fill in your business info (name, industry, audience, brand voice)

You'll land in the **Setup hub** (in the Agent workspace), where you can review the auto-filled details, connect Google Search Console and your CMS, and turn on optional features. You can re-run AI setup or edit anything anytime — see [Adding Your First Site](/getting-started/adding-your-first-site).

## Step 3: Connect Your CMS (Optional)

**Time: 2-5 minutes**

For automatic publishing, connect your CMS:

* **WordPress** -- Install the Sight AI plugin and generate an API key
* **Webflow** -- Generate an API token in Webflow and map your CMS fields
* **Framer** -- Generate an API key in Sight AI and install the Framer plugin
* **Shopify** -- Create a custom app and enter your store URL and Admin API token
* **Wix** -- Enter your Wix Site ID and API key
* **Webhook** -- Send article data to any custom endpoint

Only one CMS can be active per site at a time. *You can skip this step and manually copy content if you prefer.*

## Step 4: Generate Your First Article

**Time: 5-10 minutes (generation time)**

1. Click **"Generate Article"** from the dashboard
2. Enter a keyword or topic for your article
3. Select the article type:
   * **Explainer** -- Best for educational content (2,500+ words)
   * **Listicle** -- Best for roundups and lists (4,500+ words)
   * **Step-by-Step** -- Best for tutorials (3,000+ words)
4. Optionally add custom instructions
5. Click **"Generate"**

Watch the real-time progress as our AI agents research, write, and optimize your article.

## Step 5: Review and Publish

**Time: 5 minutes**

1. Once generation completes, review your article in the editor
2. Make any edits using the AI Content Editor
3. Preview the final result
4. Either:
   * **Sync to CMS** — Automatically publish to your connected CMS
   * **Download** — Export as HTML or copy the content manually

## Step 6: Connect Google Search Console

**Time: 1 minute**

For the full Sight AI experience, connect Google Search Console to unlock:

* The [combined Dashboard](/getting-started/dashboard) showing real organic-search performance alongside AI visibility
* [Search Opportunities](/ai-visibility/search-opportunities) — Content Gap, Refresh, Interlinks, and Rising Pages generated from your actual GSC data
* The full [Search section](/ai-visibility/search-section) — every query, page, and article that Google sends traffic to

Just go to **Integrations → Google Search Console**, click **Connect**, and pick your property. We'll backfill 90 days of data automatically.
