Quick Start: Your First Portal (10 Minutes)
This guide creates a working programmatic SEO portal — ready to deploy.
Step 1 — Pick a Portal Type
GrackerAI supports several portal templates. Pick one that matches your category:
| Portal type | Good for |
|---|---|
| Comparison pages | "[Competitor] vs [you]" pages at scale |
| Alternatives directory | "[Competitor] alternatives" pages |
| Glossary | Industry term definitions |
| CVE database | Cybersecurity vendors |
| Compliance center | SaaS with compliance focus (HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI) |
| Tools directory | "Best [category] for [use case]" |
Step 2 — Configure General Settings
Go to Portal Settings → General and set:
- Portal name (e.g., "Acme Auth Comparison Hub")
- Subdomain or path (e.g.,
compare.acme-auth.comoracme-auth.com/compare) - Branding colors and logo
Step 3 — Generate Your Content
Click Generate Portal. GrackerAI will create:
- Programmatic page templates
- Schema markup
- Internal linking structure
- SEO metadata
- AEO-optimized content
For a comparison portal, this typically generates 50–200 pages within minutes.
Step 4 — Review and Publish
Review the generated content in the preview pane. Edit anything that needs human polish. When ready, click Publish.
Step 5 — Connect Your Domain
Use the Cloudflare, Vercel, or Custom Domain deployment guide to point your subdomain at the portal.
