Getting started
Create an account, point a project at your domain, run your first research, and connect an agent.
Create an account
Sign up at app.indexzero.site/sign-up. There is no sales call and no card required: a new workspace starts on the Free plan with 2,000 credits a month and the full dashboard.
Create a project
Everything in IndexZero is scoped to a project. A project pins two things:
- A domain. This is what gets audited, what rank tracking defaults to, and what backlink and domain tools analyse when you do not name another domain.
- A market, meaning a location and a language (United States and English by default). Every research tool uses it when you do not pass one explicitly, so a project for a German site set to Germany and
degets German volumes without you saying so on every call.
The Free plan allows 1 active project; see Plans for the others. Archiving a project frees its slot.
Run your first research
Open the project and try Keywords: enter one to five seed terms and you get back hundreds of related keywords with volume, difficulty, CPC, and intent. That call spends credits; the credits page explains how many and why. Reading your own Search Console or Analytics data is free once connected.
Connect an agent
MCP access starts on the Starter plan. Once you are on it, open AI & MCP in the app, copy the endpoint, and follow the guide for your client. The one-liner for Claude Code is:
claude mcp add --transport http indexzero https://app.indexzero.site/mcpA browser window opens for you to approve the connection. Ask the agent to list your IndexZero projects to confirm it worked. Guides for every client are under Connect an agent.
What to read next
IndexZero documentation
IndexZero is the SEO platform built for AI agents. Keyword research, rank tracking, site audits, backlinks, and AI-visibility measurement, callable over MCP by Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or anything you build, and by you in the dashboard.
How credits work
Credits pay for live search data. Roughly 1,000 credits is one dollar of provider spend. Anything that reads your own data is free.
