Days 1–2: connect and configure
Your work, roughly an hour.- Create a workspace for the brand or client
- Connect your store or CMS and Google Search Console — these two matter most
- Connect ad accounts if you are using Paid Ads
- Add Ryze to Claude or ChatGPT
- Review permissions and approvals before the agent acts unattended
- Set your agent context — what you sell, who you sell to, tone. Topic quality depends on this.
Search Console reports with a 2–3 day delay. If you connected a property today, the most recent days will be missing. This is Google’s behaviour, not a Ryze issue.
Days 2–3: the first audit
Ryze pulls Search Console, DataForSEO, and your store to establish ground truth — the queries and pages you already appear for, your rankings and competitors, and your best products by revenue. Ask the assistant what it found:Audit my store and show me the biggest on-page SEO issues.
What queries am I getting impressions for but ranking below position 10?This is the highest-value moment of week one. The audit usually surfaces issues worth fixing regardless of what the engine does next.
Days 3–7: first output
Keywords become a topic plan, split into two pools, and the engine begins producing. Work is spread across the month, not delivered in a batch — so week one is a fraction of the monthly volume. Watch it in Agent Activity on your home page, or the full log under Agent Logs. Every action is timestamped: articles drafted, articles published, fixes shipped.What will not have happened yet
Being explicit, because this is where expectations usually break:- No ranking movement. New pages take weeks to months to be crawled, indexed, and ranked. Week one produces published work, not results.
- No meaningful traffic change. Anything you see in week one is noise.
- No AI citation change. Retrieval-driven citations respond over months, not days. See AI visibility.
- Only a fraction of monthly content. The cycle is monthly and deliberately paced.
What to actually check at day 7
If topics look off-target, fix agent context first — it is the input everything downstream is anchored to.
