Quickstart
Quickstart helps you go from zero setup to your first usable article draft as fast as possible.
Before you begin
Make sure you have:
- A website URL for the brand you want to manage
- A sitemap URL for that website
- Access to any publishing platform you want to connect later
5 minute setup flow
1. Create a brand
Go to /dashboard/brands and create your first brand.
Add:
- Brand name
- Site URL
- Sitemap URL
2. Configure generation settings
Still in Brands, choose:
- Language
- Brand tone
- Article type (Essential or Complete)
These defaults strongly influence the quality and style of generated output.
3. Configure internal links (recommended)
Go to /dashboard/internal-links/[brand-slug] and:
- Sync your sitemap URLs
- Select the links you want Blogflair to use
- Save selection
This improves linking quality and keeps drafts grounded in your real pages.
4. Generate topics
Go to /dashboard/articles/[brand-slug] and generate topic ideas.
Review and keep the strongest topic angles before drafting.
5. Generate your first article draft
From a selected topic, generate an article, then review/edit before publishing.
