## 1. Sign In

Head to the [Pro dashboard](/pro/dashboard) and sign in with [GitHub](https://github.com). No license required to try things in dev.

## 2. Add Your License

For production features, add your license key:

<nuxt-seo-pro-license-box>



</nuxt-seo-pro-license-box>

Your key starts with `nsp_`. Buy one on the [Pro](/pro) page.

<note>

No license? The dashboard and MCP still work, but production features (multi-site sync, competitor tracking, MCP data tools) are gated.

</note>

## 3. Connect Google Search Console

Most Pro features (Search Console, Indexing, Analysis Presets, AI Tools) rely on GSC data.

1. In the dashboard, click **Connect Google Search Console**.
2. Sign in with the Google account that owns your GSC properties.
3. Grant read-only access to Search Console.

We store the OAuth token, read your GSC properties, and sync historical data via [gscdump](https://gscdump.com). Initial sync takes 5-60 minutes depending on site size.

## 4. Add Your First Site

From the dashboard, click **Add Site** and enter your site URL. We'll:

- Verify the URL resolves (status code, response time)
- Detect Nuxt, meta tags, canonical, OG image, sitemap, and robots.txt
- Match the site to a GSC property automatically

If GSC is connected, unmatched properties are suggested as sites to add in one click.
