Prerequisite
You need a GrowDeck account. Sign up free — no credit card required.

Prerequisites

  • A GrowDeck account (sign up at growdeck.ai)
  • A public website you want to grow

Step 1: Connect your site

Navigate to Dashboard → Sites → Add Site. Enter your domain (e.g., https://yoursite.com). GrowDeck will validate the URL and create a site workspace.

Step 2: Start a crawl

From your site dashboard, click “Start Crawl”. The crawler will visit all public pages using Playwright — a real browser engine.

Crawl time depends on site size: most sites under 500 pages finish in 5–10 minutes.

Crawl time depends on site size. Sites with 500+ pages may take 10–20 minutes. You'll see live progress in the Crawl tab.

Step 3: View opportunities

Once the crawl completes, navigate to the Opportunities tab. The Keyword Engineanalyzes your content against live SERP data and surfaces keyword gaps.

Each opportunity shows: target keyword, estimated difficulty, and suggested page type.

Step 4: Generate a page

Select an opportunity and click “Generate Page”. The content pipeline will:

  1. Research top-ranking pages for the keyword
  2. Extract competitor angles and content gaps
  3. Find relevant YouTube videos
  4. Generate a structured page with comparison tables, code examples, and schema markup

Generation takes 60–120 seconds.

Step 5: Review and approve

Navigate to Approvals. Your page will appear with a preview. Review the content, make any edits, then click Approve.

The page is deployed and your sitemap.xml is updated automatically.

Pro tip
