🚀 Quick Start
- 1. Connect your WordPress site (you'll need an Application Password)
- 2. Set your company context so GearHead knows what to say about your business
- 3. Plan your content calendar with GearHead
- 4. Review and publish — or let it run automatically
1 Connect Your WordPress Site
Before GearHead can publish to your blog, you need to connect it with an Application Password (not your regular WordPress password).
How to create an Application Password:
- 1. Log into your WordPress admin dashboard
- 2. Go to Users → Profile
- 3. Scroll to Application Passwords
- 4. Enter "GearHead" and click Add New
- 5. Copy the password (looks like: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX)
Then tell GearHead:
"Connect my WordPress site https://myblog.com with username admin and app password XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX"
2 Set Your Company Context
This is critical for quality content. GearHead will only make claims about your business that you've provided here.
Example:
"Set company context for my blog:
- Company: ABC Plumbing
- Founded: 2008
- Location: Portland, OR
- Services: Residential and commercial plumbing
- Unique selling point: 24/7 emergency service
- Certifications: Licensed, bonded, insured in OR and WA"
❌ Without context:
GearHead writes generic industry content only
✅ With context:
"With over 15 years serving Portland since 2008..."
3 Plan Your Content Calendar
Let GearHead brainstorm:
"Plan 6 months of blog posts about plumbing tips for homeowners"
Or provide specific topics:
"Schedule blog posts for my plumbing site:
- March 1: How to prevent frozen pipes
- April 1: Spring plumbing maintenance checklist
- May 1: Water heater buying guide"
With SEO keywords:
"Plan 6 months of SEO-focused posts. Target keywords: Portland plumber, emergency plumbing"
4 Review and Publish
Posts generate automatically on their scheduled date. You can also control them manually:
Generate early
"Generate the March post now"
Preview content
"Show me the March blog post"
Make changes
"Make it more casual"
Approve flagged content
"Approve the March post"
Publish immediately
"Publish the March post now"
Change topics
"Change April topic to..."
Quality Safeguards
GearHead has built-in protections against "hallucinations" (making things up):
❌ GearHead will NOT:
- • Claim awards not in your context
- • Invent statistics
- • Create fake testimonials
- • Make up credentials
- • Claim years of experience without context
✅ GearHead WILL:
- • Use industry best practices
- • Reference your context accurately
- • Use hedging: "experts recommend..."
- • Flag content that needs review
- • Focus on reader value
⚠️ When content gets flagged:
If GearHead detects potential issues (like unverified claims), the post goes to "Review" status. You can ask GearHead to fix it, approve it anyway, or edit manually in WordPress.
