Quickstart
Create a project, map your site, generate a cluster, and publish to WordPress.
This page walks you through your first ClusterPilot workflow: Project -> Site Mapping & Crawl -> Clusters -> export/publish.
1) Create a project
A project is one website with its own base_url. Everything you do (site mapping, clusters, rewrites, intelligence) always happens within one project.
- Go to Projects and create a new project.
- Enter the
base_urlfor the website you want to work on.
2) Map your site (Site Mapping & Crawl)
Use Site Mapping & Crawl to discover pages and collect metadata. For each page, this provides values such as URL, title, H1, and meta description, plus a visual sitemap.
- Open your project and go to Sitemap.
- Choose one of the two options:
- Import Sitemap (import your sitemap.xml), or
- Scan Website (crawl).
3) Generate a cluster
A cluster is a set of articles around one topic within one project. A cluster follows this pipeline: cluster-spec -> articles -> internal linking -> SEO fields -> optional schema -> featured image -> export/publish.
- Go to Clusters and start a new cluster.
- Choose a mode: Blog, FAQ, or Location (availability may depend on your plan).
- Generate the cluster-spec first, then generate the articles.
4) Review SEO fields
Clusters generate SEO fields per Article. In the UI, you will see fields such as:
- Focus keyphrase
- SEO title
- Meta description
- Slug / URL path
- Secondary keyphrases
5) Publish to WordPress (CMS Connect)
With CMS Connect (WordPress), you can export/publish content based on existing content artifacts.
- Open your project and go to Project Settings -> CMS connection.
- Connect WordPress and test the connection.
- Publish per article or publish the entire cluster.
