Connect PilotDeck to your site

Step by step guides for linking your search data, your website and your social accounts, so PilotDeck can research, write and publish for you. Start with Search Console, the only connection PilotDeck requires.

  • Search Console access is read-only
  • Drafts wait for your approval by default
  • Every credential in the guides is masked
Search data flows into PilotDeck, which researches, writes and sends drafts for your review, then publishes to your site and shares on social.

Set up in three steps

Each step is a short guide with real screenshots. Do them in order, or jump to the one you need.
