Quick Start

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”
  • A Paceghost account with a validated email
  • The domain of a website you want to audit

Step 1 — Create an Account

Section titled “Step 1 — Create an Account”
  1. Go to app.paceghost.io and sign up.
  2. Validate your email to activate your account.

Step 2 — Add a Domain

Section titled “Step 2 — Add a Domain”
  1. From the dashboard, click Add domain.
  2. Enter your website URL (e.g., example.com).
  3. Paceghost shows the domain card on your dashboard.

Step 3 — Run a Full Audit

Section titled “Step 3 — Run a Full Audit”
  1. Monitoring is on by default, so your first Full Audit starts as soon as you add the domain. To run another audit later, click Run Manual Audit Now on your domain card.
  2. Paceghost runs all 5 pipeline steps in sequence:
    • Crawlability Check — verifies AI crawler access
    • Website Snapshot — captures your page via real browser
    • Website Analysis — an AI model builds your domain profile, fixed rules compute the E-E-A-T score
    • Visibility Benchmark — tests your visibility across SEO/GEO/AEO
    • Create Report — compiles PDF + data exports
  3. Progress is shown in real-time via the dashboard.

Step 4 — Review Results

Section titled “Step 4 — Review Results”

After the audit completes:

  • Domain Dashboard shows at-a-glance health scores for each pipeline step
  • Step pages (Crawlability, Snapshot, Analysis, Benchmark) show detailed findings
  • Report page lets you download the PDF, JSON, and CSV exports
  • Share this report creates a link that anyone who has it can open for 7 days

Step 5 — Understand Your Credits

Section titled “Step 5 — Understand Your Credits”

Paceghost uses a credit-based system. The Crawlability Check is always free. Snapshot, Website Analysis, the Visibility Benchmark, and Report each consume credits. The Benchmark cost varies by tier — higher tiers include more AI models and search endpoints, producing broader results. Automated audits, on plans that include them, do not use your Credit balance.

See Pricing & Tiers and Credit System for the details.
