Getting started with WordPresto

WordPresto builds a living intelligence model of a website or writing project, gives you a central Canvas to work in, and prepares approved content for publishing. This guide gets you from nothing to a working project.

Start a project

There are two kinds of project:

• A Website Project — a living model of a real domain. It progressively learns the site’s pages, search queries, analytics, keywords and technical health.
• A Writing Project — a model of a writing task (an article, a report, a contract) that uses the same Canvas and specialist Workers, without needing a crawler or domain intelligence.

To begin, tell Emma the domain you want to work on (for example “look at example.com”), or start a Writing Project by describing what you want to write.

What happens next

When you scan a domain, WordPresto canonicalises it and creates a persisted project. From then on every surface — the Dashboard, Visual Intelligence, Project Home and Emma — reads from the same project intelligence layer. Nothing is invented: where data is missing, WordPresto shows that it is missing and what to do about it.

The core workflow

1. Project intelligence — connect data sources and run a crawl so the project knows the site.
2. The Canvas — create, import, edit, proof and review content in the central rich editor.
3. Specialist Workers — route Draft, Rewrite, SEO, Schema, Clarity and other Workers around the Canvas to check and improve your content.
4. Human review and approval — you approve content before anything is published.
5. Publishing — approved content is prepared for its destination (WordPress, Sanity, Astro) through a Builder Worker and a publishing agent.

First steps that unlock the most

• Set a target market (country, plus an optional city or region). Keyword and competitor data are country-scoped, so this is a prerequisite for keyword research and AI-visibility.
• Connect Google (Search Console and GA4) for real queries, clicks, impressions and engagement.
• Run a crawl so Site Health, orphan detection and internal-link mapping have pages to work with.

If you are ever unsure why a surface is empty, ask Emma — she reads your project’s real readiness state and will tell you the exact blocker and how to fix it.
