## **Getting Started with Your Account Setup**

To get the most out of Strategically AI, follow these simple steps to set up your account and connect everything seamlessly.

#### **1. Select Your Business Type**

When prompted, choose the type of business you run—**SaaS, eCommerce, or Blogging**—and click **Next** to proceed.

#### **2. Enter Your Website URL**

Provide your website URL to link your business to the platform. This allows Strategically AI to analyze your site, understand your products or services, and tailor optimizations to your brand.

#### **3. Authenticate with Google Search Console**

Connecting your **Google Search Console (GSC)** account enables data-driven recommendations. Click **“Authenticate with Google Search Console”** and log in using your GSC credentials.
