# Quickstart

> Connect Ryze to Claude, link your marketing accounts, and get your first answer — about 10 minutes end to end.

This is the shortest path from a new Ryze account to a useful answer. Budget about 10 minutes.

<Note>
  You need a paid Claude plan (Pro, Team, or Max). The free plan does not support custom connectors.
</Note>

## 1. Create a workspace

A workspace holds one brand's accounts and data. Agencies create one per client.

Sign in at [reports.get-ryze.ai](https://reports.get-ryze.ai) and create your first workspace. See [Create a workspace](/workspaces/create-workspace).

## 2. Connect your platforms

Do this **before** connecting the assistant — Ryze can only answer about accounts it can read.

Go to **Workspace Settings → Integrations** and connect, at minimum:

* **Your store or CMS** — [Shopify](/integrations/shopify), WordPress, Webflow, or another
* **Google Search Console** — the query and page data the SEO engine is built on
* **Your ad accounts** — Google Ads, Meta, or both

Full instructions: [Connect your platforms](/integrations/overview).

## 3. Add Ryze to Claude

Add Ryze as a custom connector using this URL:

```
https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp
```

Step-by-step with screenshots: [Connect Ryze to Claude](/claude/connect). Using ChatGPT instead? See [Connect Ryze to ChatGPT](/chatgpt/connect).

## 4. Ask your first question

Start a **new chat** — existing chats will not pick up the connection — and try:

> Pull the last 7 days of Google Ads spend and break it down by campaign.

> What queries am I getting impressions for in Search Console but ranking below position 10?

> Audit my store and show me the biggest on-page SEO issues.

## 5. Set approvals

Before letting Ryze change anything, decide what it may do unattended. Actions that modify your accounts require approval by default. Review the settings in [Permissions & approvals](/claude/permissions).
