Quick Start
By the end of this guide you'll have a brand set up, a complete article draft waiting for review, and your first list of potential customers — with the system having done nearly all of the work. Budget about ten minutes, most of it watching.
Before you begin
- A live website for your product (any stack — the system only needs the URL)
- A GoShipFast account: sign up free at goshipfast.com or in the desktop app
Create a brand
After signing up you'll see a single form:
- Website domain — your product's site. The only required field.
- Brand name — optional. Leave it blank and GoShipFast reads it from your site.
Click Start getting customers. That's the whole setup.
A brand is the unit everything lives in: content, keywords, leads, email domains, and its own subscription. Two products means two brands — see Core Concepts.
Watch the setup run
The moment your brand exists, an automated chain starts, with progress visible on the brand Dashboard:
- Scanning your website — reads your pages and discovers subpages.
- Building your brand profile — what you sell, who it's for, how you describe it. Every later feature works from this.
- Running an SEO audit — performance, metadata, structure, crawlability. See Site Audit.
- Running an AI visibility audit — whether AI search engines can find and quote you. See AI Visibility.
- Discovering keywords — your first keyword pool.
In the background it also generates three working documents — a market analysis, a marketing plan, and a content analysis of what your site already covers. They land in Knowledge.
Note
All of this runs on every new brand, free ones included, and costs nothing. Diagnostics are always free.
Review your first article draft
Setup finishes by picking a topic worth writing and drafting a complete long-form article: outline, body, citations, polish, illustrations. Every new brand gets one article free.
Open Content → Drafts and read it in the Article Studio. Edit anything, then Approve when it reads right. Articles never publish without your approval.
Meet your first leads
Setup also queues one lead discovery run. Open Customers → Find: real people showing buying signals for a product like yours, each with a match score and a quoted piece of evidence linking to the source post.
Free brands preview 20 leads and unlock contact details for 5 — enough to judge quality before paying anything. See Lead Discovery.
Connect a platform and publish
- Open Publishing and connect a platform. X and LinkedIn take one OAuth click; the rest are covered in Connecting Each Platform.
- From a draft, open the multi-platform preview to see how each platform renders it, tweak per-platform variants, and publish.
- For your own blog, the desktop app can commit the article into your site's repository and push it live. See Publishing to Your Blog.
Note
Paid features (AI chat, image generation, ongoing lead discovery) unlock with a plan. The free run above is a complete taste of the system so you can judge it on output, not promises.
