Ghost integration

Connect Auto SEO to Ghost

About 6 minutes. Auto SEO uses Ghost's Admin API to ship posts that look like they came from your own editorial team.

  1. 1

    Create an integration in Ghost

    Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations → Add custom integration. Name it 'Auto SEO'.

  2. 2

    Copy your Admin API key

    The newly-created integration page shows an Admin API Key in the format <id>:<secret>. Copy it.

  3. 3

    Connect in Auto SEO

    Integrations → Ghost → Add publication. Paste your Ghost site URL (https://example.com) and the Admin API key.

  4. 4

    Pick a default author and tag

    Posts will be attributed to the author you choose and tagged with the topic cluster Auto SEO derives.

  5. 5

    Enable feature image + AEO fields

    Toggle Auto SEO's AEO (answer-engine optimization) extension — it injects llms.txt entries and FAQ schema on each post.

What gets published

  • Post body using Ghost's Lexical (Koenig) format with section breaks.
  • Feature image (uploaded via the Ghost Admin API).
  • Tags inferred from your topic cluster.
  • Meta title, meta description, OG image, Twitter card.
  • Custom code injection on relevant posts for FAQ JSON-LD.

Troubleshooting

Self-hosted Ghost behind a proxy occasionally rejects requests if the URL doesn't include the https:// scheme; always paste the full URL. If posts publish but appear without tags, check that the integration has 'Editor' or higher role permissions inside Ghost.
