Learn Geoscribe

Getting started with Geoscribe takes just a few minutes. Follow the steps below to create your account and begin automating your SEO workflow.

Creating Your Account

1. 1Visit the Geoscribe signup page and enter your email address.
2. 2Choose a password and confirm your email via the verification link.
3. 3Select a plan that fits your agency size. All plans include every tool — the difference is content volume and location limits.
4. 4Complete payment to activate your account instantly.

First Login

After signing up, you will be taken to the main dashboard. The first thing you should do is create a folder for your first client or business, then connect your WordPress site and Google accounts.

The Geoscribe dashboard is your central hub for managing all SEO activities. It is organized around workspaces and folders to keep your clients and locations neatly separated.

Workspaces

Your workspace is the top-level container. All of your folders, locations, and content live inside your workspace. If you are on a team plan, team members can be invited to share the workspace.

Folder Structure

Folders represent individual clients or businesses. Each folder can contain multiple locations, WordPress connections, Google integrations, and campaigns. This structure keeps everything organized as your agency scales.

• Each folder has its own content queue, keyword tracker, and reports.
• Switching between folders changes the context across all tools.
• Folders can be renamed, archived, or deleted from the settings panel.

Connecting your WordPress site allows Geoscribe to publish articles, manage content, and sync data directly with your website. The connection uses the WordPress REST API via an application password.

Installing the Geoscribe Plugin

1. 1Download the Geoscribe WordPress plugin from your dashboard under Settings.
2. 2In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins and click "Add New", then "Upload Plugin".
3. 3Upload the downloaded ZIP file and click "Install Now".
4. 4Activate the plugin. You will see a new Geoscribe menu item in the WordPress sidebar.
5. 5Open the Geoscribe plugin settings page and enter the credentials shown in your Geoscribe dashboard.

Application Password Method

If you prefer not to install a plugin, you can connect using a WordPress application password. This method works with any WordPress site running version 5.6 or later.

1. 1In WordPress, go to Users, then click on your admin user profile.
2. 2Scroll to the Application Passwords section.
3. 3Enter a name (e.g., "Geoscribe") and click "Add New Application Password".
4. 4Copy the generated password and paste it into the Geoscribe connection form.

Linking your Google accounts enables Geoscribe to pull Search Console data, manage Google Business Profile posts, and display performance metrics in your reports.

Google Search Console

1. 1Go to the Google Accounts Hub in your dashboard.
2. 2Click "Connect Google Account" and sign in with the Google account that has access to Search Console.
3. 3Grant the requested permissions. Geoscribe only requests read access to your search performance data.

Google Business Profile

1. 1From the Google Accounts Hub, click "Connect Google Business Profile".
2. 2Sign in with the Google account that manages your business listings.
3. 3Grant the requested permissions for managing posts and reading performance data.

WP Blogger is your AI-powered content engine. It generates full-length, SEO-optimized articles tailored to your business, publishes them to WordPress, and handles everything from hero images to meta descriptions.

Creating Articles

1. 1Navigate to WP Blogger from the sidebar.
2. 2Click "New Article" or "Generate Articles" to start a new batch.
3. 3Enter your topic, target keyword, and any specific instructions for the AI.
4. 4Choose a tone of voice — options include professional, friendly, authoritative, and more.
5. 5Set the target word count and click "Generate".

Keyword Targeting

Each article can target one or more keywords. The AI will naturally incorporate these keywords throughout the content, including headings, body text, and meta descriptions. You can also use the built-in Keyword Intelligence feature to discover new keyword opportunities.

Tone and Voice Settings

You can customize the writing style at the folder level so all articles share a consistent voice. Options include selecting a writing tone, providing sample text for the AI to mimic, and adding specific instructions about terminology or style preferences.

Drip Scheduling

Instead of publishing all articles at once, use drip scheduling to spread publications over time. This creates a natural publishing cadence that search engines favor.

• Set a daily, weekly, or custom publishing schedule.
• Articles are queued and published automatically on schedule.
• You can reorder, pause, or skip individual articles in the queue.

Auto-Publishing and Hero Images

When auto-publish is enabled, articles go live on your WordPress site without any manual intervention. Each article gets an AI-generated hero image that matches the content topic. You can also upload your own images if you prefer.

Editing Articles

Every generated article can be edited before publishing. The built-in editor lets you refine the content, adjust headings, add internal links, and preview the final layout. Changes are saved automatically.

Rank Me creates targeted content campaigns designed to improve your rankings for specific keywords. It generates a comprehensive plan of articles, internal links, and supporting content around your target topics.

Creating a Ranking Plan

1. 1Go to Rank Me from the sidebar.
2. 2Click "New Plan" and enter your target keyword or topic.
3. 3Select the location you want to rank in.
4. 4Choose the number of supporting articles to generate.
5. 5Review the plan preview showing all planned articles and their keyword targets.
6. 6Click "Launch Plan" to begin content generation.

Monitoring Progress

Once a plan is launched, you can track its progress from the Rank Me dashboard. Each plan shows the number of articles generated, published, and indexed, along with ranking changes for your target keywords.

• Real-time status updates as articles are generated and published.
• Keyword position tracking tied directly to your ranking plan.
• Performance metrics showing before and after results.

Cloud Campaigns is a link-building tool that creates content across cloud storage platforms to build backlinks and improve domain authority. It automates the process of creating and publishing supporting content on external platforms.

How Cloud Link Building Works

Cloud Campaigns publishes optimized content to cloud storage platforms such as Amazon S3, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, Linode Object Storage, and others. Each piece of content links back to your website with strategically chosen anchor text.

Setting Up a Campaign

1. 1Navigate to Cloud Campaigns.
2. 2Click "New Campaign" and select the platform you want to publish to.
3. 3Enter your cloud storage credentials (API key and secret).
4. 4Set your target URL — this is the page on your site you want to build links to.
5. 5Define your anchor text strategy by entering multiple anchor text variations.
6. 6Choose the number of cloud pages to create and click "Launch".

Anchor Text Strategy

A natural backlink profile uses varied anchor text. Geoscribe lets you define multiple anchor text variations and distributes them across your cloud pages automatically. You can set exact match, partial match, branded, and generic anchor text types.

Tier Architecture

Cloud Campaigns supports a tiered link-building architecture. Tier 1 pages link directly to your money site. Tier 2 pages link to your Tier 1 pages, passing link equity up the chain. This creates a more natural and effective link profile.

The Keyword Tracker monitors your search engine rankings daily and provides detailed position history, trend indicators, and SERP feature detection. It gives you a clear picture of how your keywords are performing over time.

Adding Keywords

1. 1Go to Keyword Tracker from the sidebar.
2. 2Click "Add Keywords" to open the keyword entry form.
3. 3Enter one keyword per line, or paste a list from a spreadsheet.
4. 4Select the search engine and location for tracking.
5. 5Click "Save" to start tracking. Initial positions will appear within 24 hours.

Bulk Import

For large keyword lists, use the bulk import feature. You can paste keywords directly or upload a CSV file. The system will deduplicate automatically and warn you about any keywords that are already being tracked.

Daily Position Tracking

Geoscribe checks your keyword positions every day. The tracker displays the current position along with change indicators showing movement over the past 7 and 30 days. Green arrows indicate improvement, while red arrows indicate decline.

AI Overview Detection

The tracker identifies when Google displays an AI Overview (formerly SGE) for your keywords. This helps you understand which keywords are affected by AI-generated results and adjust your strategy accordingly.

SERP Feature Tracking

• Local Pack — detects when your business appears in the map results.
• Featured Snippet — identifies keywords where you hold the featured snippet position.
• People Also Ask — flags keywords that trigger question-and-answer boxes.
• AI Overview — marks keywords where Google shows AI-generated summaries.
• Image Pack, Video, and more — tracks additional SERP features that affect visibility.

Shareable Reports

Create shareable keyword reports with a single click. Reports can be sent as a public link to clients, showing current rankings, position changes, and historical trends without requiring a Geoscribe login.

The Client Reports tool provides a drag-and-drop report builder that lets you create professional, white-labeled SEO reports for your clients. Each report is fully customizable and pulls live data from your connected services.

Using the Report Builder

2. 2Give your report a title and select the folder/location it belongs to.
3. 3Drag widgets from the widget panel into the report canvas.
4. 4Arrange widgets into rows and columns using the layout controls.

• Custom Image — upload logos, charts, or any visual element.
• Custom Text — add explanations, summaries, or callout sections.
• Ranking Distribution — visualizes how many keywords rank on page 1, page 2, etc.

Per-Widget Date Ranges

Each widget can have its own date range, letting you compare different time periods within the same report. For example, you could show last month's Search Console data alongside last quarter's keyword trend chart.

Sharing and White-Labeling

Reports generate a public link that you can share with clients. The public view is clean and professional — it shows your agency branding without any Geoscribe references. You can customize the report header with your logo, brand colors, and agency name.

GBP Automation helps you manage your Google Business Profile listings at scale. Create and schedule posts, monitor performance metrics, and keep your business information up to date across all locations.

2. 2Once connected, navigate to GBP Automation.
3. 3Your business locations will be imported automatically.
4. 4Select the locations you want to manage within Geoscribe.

1. 1Click "New Post" from the GBP Automation page.
2. 2Select the location(s) you want to post to.
3. 3Write your post content or click "Generate with AI" to create it automatically.

Bulk Post Creation

For agencies managing many locations, the bulk post feature lets you create the same post across all locations at once. The AI can customize each post to reference the specific location name and area, creating unique content for each listing.

Performance Metrics

• Impressions — how many times your listing appeared in search and maps.
• Phone Calls — calls made directly from your business listing.
• Direction Requests — how many people asked for directions to your business.
• Website Visits — clicks to your website from the business listing.

Geo Pages lets you create location-specific landing pages for every city or area you serve. These pages are optimized for local search and published directly to your WordPress site.

Creating Location Pages

1. 1Navigate to Geo Pages from the sidebar.
2. 2Click "New Geo Page" to start creating a location page.
3. 3Enter the city or area name and select the services to feature on the page.

5. 5Preview the page and make any adjustments to the layout or content.
6. 6Click "Publish" to push the page live on your WordPress site.

Content Customization

Each geo page is unique. The AI incorporates local details — nearby landmarks, neighborhoods, zip codes, and regional terminology — to create pages that feel genuinely local rather than templated. You can edit any section to add your own details.

Schema Markup

Geo pages automatically include local business schema markup that helps search engines understand your business location, services, and contact information. This structured data improves your chances of appearing in local search results and the Knowledge Panel.

The SEO Audit tool crawls your website and checks for common technical issues that can hurt your search rankings. It provides a health score and actionable recommendations for improvement.

Running an Audit

1. 1Go to SEO Audit from the sidebar.
2. 2Enter the URL of the website you want to audit (or select a connected site).
3. 3Click "Run Audit" to start the crawl.
4. 4Wait for the audit to complete — this typically takes a few minutes depending on site size.
5. 5Review the results on the audit dashboard.

Understanding the Health Score

Your site receives a health score from 0 to 100 based on the issues found during the audit. The score is broken down into categories: critical errors, warnings, and notices. Focus on resolving critical errors first, as they have the biggest impact on rankings.

Common Issues

• Missing or duplicate meta titles and descriptions.
• Broken links (404 errors) within your site.
• Missing robots.txt or improperly configured directives.
• Missing XML sitemap or sitemap errors.
• Slow page load times and large image files.
• Missing alt text on images.
• Broken canonical tags or redirect chains.

Adding a Website

Email Alerts

When your website goes down, Geoscribe sends an email alert within minutes. You will receive another notification when the site comes back online. Alerts include the downtime duration and the HTTP status code received.

Response Time Tracking

The monitor records response times for every check, giving you a detailed history of your site's performance. Spikes in response time can indicate server issues, heavy traffic, or problematic plugins that need attention.

Public Status Pages

You can create a public status page for your monitored websites. This page shows the current status, uptime percentage, and response time history. Share it with clients as proof of your commitment to keeping their sites online.

AI Chat Agents let you create an intelligent chatbot trained on your website content. The agent can answer visitor questions, capture leads, and provide instant customer support — all without human intervention.

Training Your Agent

1. 1Go to AI Chat Agents from the sidebar.
2. 2Click "Create Agent" and give it a name.
3. 3Enter the URL of the website the agent should learn from.
4. 4The system will crawl your website and train the agent on your content.
5. 5Review the training data and remove any pages you do not want the agent to reference.

Embedding the Chat Widget

Once your agent is trained, you can embed it on your website with a single line of code. The widget appears as a chat bubble in the corner of your site. Customize the appearance — colors, position, welcome message, and avatar — to match your brand.

Lead Capture

Configure the agent to collect visitor contact information before or during the conversation. Captured leads are saved in your Geoscribe dashboard and can be exported or sent to your CRM via webhook.

Conversation Analytics

• View all conversations in a central inbox.
• See which questions are asked most frequently.
• Track conversion rates — how many conversations lead to contact form submissions.
• Identify gaps in your website content based on questions the agent cannot answer.

Folders and locations are the organizational backbone of Geoscribe. Understanding how they work helps you manage multiple clients and service areas efficiently.

Managing Folders

Each folder represents a client or business. Within a folder, you manage all SEO activities — content, tracking, reports, and integrations. Folders keep data isolated so one client's campaigns never interfere with another's.

1. 1Click the folder icon in the sidebar to view all folders.
2. 2Click "New Folder" to create a new client workspace.
3. 3Enter the business name, website URL, and industry.
4. 4The system will auto-fill business details if a Google Business Profile is connected.

Adding Locations

Locations represent individual service areas or branch offices within a folder. Each location can have its own keywords, content settings, and Google Business Profile connection.

• Add as many locations as your plan allows.
• Each location can have unique target keywords and content topics.
• Location data auto-fills from your Google Business Profile when connected.
• Switch between locations to see data filtered to that specific area.

Geoscribe integrates with WordPress and Google services natively. Additional integration points are available through webhooks and the WordPress plugin auto-update system.

WordPress Plugin Auto-Update

The Geoscribe WordPress plugin supports automatic updates. When a new version is released, WordPress will notify you through the standard plugin update interface. You can enable auto-updates from the Plugins page in your WordPress admin panel.

Webhook Endpoints

Geoscribe can send webhook notifications when certain events occur — for example, when an article is published, when a keyword ranking changes significantly, or when downtime is detected. Configure webhooks in your folder settings.

1. 1Go to folder settings and click "Webhooks".
2. 2Click "Add Webhook" and enter your endpoint URL.
3. 3Select which events should trigger the webhook.
4. 4Test the webhook to verify it is receiving data correctly.
5. 5Save the configuration.

• Article published — fires when a new article goes live on WordPress.
• Ranking change — fires when a keyword moves more than a configurable number of positions.
• Downtime alert — fires when the uptime monitor detects an outage.
• Audit complete — fires when a site audit finishes processing.
