How to Use GharNaksa SEO: A Complete Walkthrough

By the GharNaksa SEO team ·

Most SEO software gives you another dashboard to check. GharNaksa SEO is built around a different promise: it should tell you what to do today, help you do it, publish the result, and then show you whether it worked. This guide walks through the whole loop, in the order you will actually use it.

What the app is, in one paragraph

GharNaksa SEO is a content and search operations console. It connects to your Google Search Console property, your GA4 property, Bing Webmaster Tools and your WordPress site, then layers content generation, on-page auditing, internal linking, indexing requests and rank tracking on top of that data. Everything lives against one active site, and you switch sites from the header. If you run several properties, the portfolio views roll them all up.

Step 1: Connect a site

Go to Settings → Sites and add your property. There are four connection types, and picking the right one matters because it decides which features light up:

  • WordPress — the full experience. You supply the site URL, a WordPress username and an application password (not your login password). The app can then read, draft, publish, update and back up posts, pages and WooCommerce products.
  • Search Console only — for sites you cannot connect a CMS to: a Next.js app, a Shopify store, a custom tool site. You get every analytics, keyword, indexing and monitoring feature, minus publishing.
  • Hosted blog — the app publishes and serves the blog itself, at /blog on your domain. The article you are reading right now was published this way.
  • Snapps — for sites built on the Snapps platform, published through the Snapps Blog API.

Then connect Google. One OAuth consent covers Search Console, GA4 and YouTube captions. Bing Webmaster Tools is a separate, optional key. Once the property is verified, the app starts pulling performance data immediately — Search Console backfills roughly 16 months, so you get history on day one rather than starting from zero.

A shortcut worth knowing

If your Google account already has properties the app does not know about, Settings shows suggested sites pulled straight from Search Console and GA4, matched up automatically. Adding a property is usually two clicks, not a form.

Step 2: Start at the Dashboard, not the reports

The Dashboard opens as an Ask screen: a single input where you describe what you want. Underneath it, the Workspace tab holds the widgets — health score, next best actions, today's post suggestion, recent activity and your live traffic.

The two things to read first:

  • Next best actions. A ranked list of concrete fixes for this site, each with the estimated clicks it could recover. Each card has an Auto-fix button that streams the AI agent through the change and asks you to confirm before anything is written.
  • Today's post suggestion. One create-or-update recommendation per site per day, derived from your Search Console and Bing data rather than from a generic keyword list.

Step 3: Work the Daily plan

Open SEO → Daily plan. This is the default tab for a reason: it is a generated to-do list of the highest-leverage work available on this site right now, with each item tied to a real page or query. Tick items off as you complete them and the completions show up as markers on your traffic charts, so weeks later you can see which day's work moved which line.

If you only ever use one screen in this app, use this one.

Step 4: Decide what to write

The SEO section has more than twenty tabs. You do not need all of them. For deciding what to publish next, these five carry most of the weight:

TabAnswers
Keyword intelligenceEverything you already rank for, with a per-keyword daily chart. Click any keyword to open the inspector.
Keyword clustersGroups your Search Console queries into topics, then turns a cluster into a draft. Includes a mind-map view of how topics connect.
Keyword researchQuestion mining — the "people also ask" style questions around a seed keyword, grouped by intent, ready to become posts.
Content decayPages that used to earn traffic and no longer do. Usually your fastest wins, because the page already exists and already has authority.
Competitor snapshotWho ranks for a keyword, what they cover, and which subtopics you are missing.

A practical rule: fix decay before you write anything new. Recovering a page that fell from position 5 to position 12 is nearly always cheaper than earning a new position 5.

Step 5: Create the draft

There are four ways to get content into the editor:

  1. From a topic. Give a title, an optional brief and a target keyword. The pipeline researches, writes, sets the SEO title and meta description, and scores the result.
  2. From a YouTube video. Paste a URL. The app pulls the transcript through the official captions API, then writes a proper article from it — not a transcript dump. Connect a channel and new uploads can be drafted automatically.
  3. From an existing page. A refresh draft imports what is live and rewrites it against current search demand.
  4. In bulk. Import a list of titles or a cluster and queue the whole batch.

Inside the editor you get a live SEO score that recomputes on every content change, an internal-link panel with inbound and outbound suggestions, FAQ generation with schema markup, featured and inline image generation, social snippets, and a find bar (Ctrl/Cmd + F) that searches inside the document. The SERP tools card shows you what is currently ranking for your target keyword without leaving the page.

Step 6: Publish

The action bar is sticky at the bottom of the editor. You can push a WordPress draft, publish live, schedule for a date, or publish as a page instead of a post. Newly generated posts create a WordPress draft automatically by default, so nothing sits stranded in the app.

Two views help when you are running a real cadence: the Calendar shows what is scheduled and what is already out, and the Board is a Kanban over your workflow status for teams that need review before publish. Solo accounts hide the board automatically — the navigation adapts to how you actually work.

Step 7: Ask the engines to look

Publishing is not indexing. On publish, and from the Indexing tab any time, the app submits your sitemap to Google and pings Bing and Yandex through IndexNow. The Indexing tab also shows coverage — which of your URLs Google actually has, and which it is ignoring.

Step 8: Watch what happened

Give it two weeks, then check:

  • Rank tracking for the keywords you told it to watch, with alerts when positions drop.
  • CTR and cannibalization for pages that get impressions but no clicks, and for two of your pages competing for the same query.
  • Core Web Vitals for lab and field speed data, stored as history so you can see the trend rather than one number.
  • Link health and Site crawl for broken links and technical faults.
  • Traffic insights for the GA4 side: channels, countries, and how much of your traffic is branded versus discovery.

Add a note to any chart with annotations when you ship something significant. Three months later, when a line moves, the reason is written on the chart instead of lost in your memory.

Step 9: Let the routine parts run themselves

Autopilot runs daily and prepares safe, mechanical fixes — title and meta rewrites, internal links, broken-link repairs. In review mode it queues them for your approval; in auto mode it applies them and logs every change. Alongside it, scheduled jobs check for new YouTube uploads, publish scheduled posts, refresh insights, watch rank drops, monitor link health and indexing, and email you a weekly digest.

Every automated and manual change lands in the Activity log, tagged by source — web, cron or MCP — so an automated edit is never mistaken for a human one.

Step 10: Ask AI, and use it from your own tools

Ask AI is a chat interface grounded in your actual Search Console, GA4 and site data. It has read tools (performance, audits, competitor gaps, traffic) and act tools that always propose before they apply: add internal links, publish a draft, set a featured image, request indexing. Ask it "which pages lost the most traffic this quarter and why", and it will query rather than guess.

The same capabilities are exposed as an MCP server, so you can connect the app to Claude or ChatGPT and run your SEO work from whichever assistant you already live in.

A realistic first week

  1. Day 1: connect the site, connect Google, let the data load.
  2. Day 2: read Next best actions and the Daily plan. Fix the two cheapest things.
  3. Day 3: run the on-page audit and link health on your top ten pages.
  4. Day 4: open Content decay. Refresh the biggest loser.
  5. Day 5: build one keyword cluster and generate a draft from it.
  6. Day 6: publish, request indexing, add a chart annotation.
  7. Day 7: turn on Autopilot in review mode and let it start finding work for you.

That is the whole loop. Everything else in the app is a deeper version of one of those seven steps.
