Joyrise plans, writes and publishes SEO articles on your website every day, then shows the search traffic they bring. This page covers how it works, how to set it up, plans, and the questions people ask most. To run Joyrise from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, see Use Joyrise from an AI assistant.
What Joyrise does
- Reads your website and drafts a profile of your business: what you do, who you sell to and who you compete with.
- Plans topics from the searches your audience makes.
- Writes each article: researches the topic, works in recent news from your field, drafts it, adds images and links, and checks it against SEO rules before it goes out.
- Publishes each article to your Webflow, WordPress or Shopify site, or keeps it as a draft in the app for you to paste into any other site.
- Reports what it brings in: Search Console clicks and impressions, Google Analytics visitors, and visits from AI assistants.
- Checks your site's SEO every hour and logs what changed on the dashboard.
Each account runs one website.
Get started
- Create an account at joyrise.ai/signup and enter your website's address.
- Joyrise scans the site and drafts your profile. Check it: the description needs at least 20 words, and you need at least one target audience (up to 7 audiences and 7 competitors).
- Press Start writing. Joyrise picks topics and starts on your first article.
- Before that first article is written, you can choose its topic from the dashboard: one of the planned topics, or your own.
- Your first article is free. It waits as a draft, and you can read its first 80% before choosing a plan. No card is needed until then.
- Choose a plan on Plan & billing to read the whole article, publish it, and keep writing.
If you typed the wrong address, change it in Settings › Website while no article has been written or started and no plan or checkout has begun.
Plans and billing
| Plan | Price | Articles |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $199 a month | 30 a month (1 a day) |
| Pro | $499 a month | 90 a month (3 a day) |
| Max | $999 a month | 180 a month (6 a day) |
| Enterprise | Custom | Several websites, custom volume, invoicing |
- Yearly billing costs 10 months' price: 2 months free.
- Articles are written every day (days run on UTC), so a month's articles arrive spread across the month.
- Promotion codes are accepted at checkout.
- Change or cancel your plan from Plan & billing. Published articles stay on your site after you cancel.
- What each plan includes: pricing.
Publishing
Webflow
Connect Webflow with Enable auto posting on the dashboard, or in Settings › Publishing: paste a Webflow site API token, pick your site, then the collection your blog posts live in. Joyrise suggests which of the collection's fields to fill. From then on, on a plan, each article publishes as soon as it is written.
WordPress
Pick WordPress under Enable auto posting (or Settings › Publishing), then enter your site's address, your WordPress username and an application password. Make one in WordPress under Users › Profile › Application Passwords, signed in as an Author, Editor or Administrator. Your WordPress site must use https on your website’s domain (or a subdomain of it), with “Post name” permalinks (Settings › Permalinks). Joyrise checks the login before it saves. Each article is published as a post, with its header image as the featured image and the closest matching category.
Shopify
Pick Shopify, then enter your store's myshopify.com address and the Client ID and secret of an app you make for it: in the Shopify Dev Dashboard, create an app with the Admin API scopes read_content, write_content, read_files and write_files, release it and install it on your store. Check access lists your store's blogs; choose the one articles go to, and the author name they show (your store's name if you leave it empty). On an older custom app, leave Client ID empty and paste its Admin API access token as the secret. Your store’s address must be on your website’s domain or a subdomain of it, like shop.example.com.
Joyrise publishes to one of Webflow, WordPress or Shopify at a time: connecting one disconnects the others. Articles written before you connected stay drafts: publish each one with Review & publish. Your free first article publishes on its own once a plan starts.
Any other platform
Without a connected CMS, every article is saved as a draft you can read in the app. Select the text in the article view and paste it into Framer, Wix or any other site; images may need uploading separately.
Search Console and Google Analytics
Connect Google once from the dashboard, with read-only access. Joyrise then shows:
- Search performance: clicks, impressions, click-through rate and position for your site, with the change against the period before, your best articles and your top searches.
- Website visitors: Google Analytics visitors, channels and top pages. Joyrise finds your Google Analytics property by itself, if the Google account you connected has one for your site.
- AI assistant visits: visits that came from AI assistants, and which articles they landed on.
Article settings
Settings › Articles shapes every article. Each formatting option is on, off, or left to the writer: bold key phrases, italics, a table of contents, comparison tables, key takeaways, a closing call to action, an embedded video, a header image and images inside the article.
Links:
- Max external links per article: none, up to 5, or Auto.
- Always mention: up to 5 pages, yours or a partner's, linked once in every article.
- Never mention: up to 25 sites, such as competitors. They are never linked or used as sources, and the writer is told not to name them.
Your business profile lives in Settings › Website: name, description, audiences and competitors. Autocomplete with AI can fill the description, audiences and competitors from your site.
Pausing and problems
- Pause or resume from the dashboard at any time. During a billing pause the button takes you to Plan & billing instead.
- A failed article is retried. After 3 failures in a row Joyrise pauses the website and the dashboard says why; nothing half-finished goes live. Resume when you are ready.
- A billing pause (the free article written, or a subscription that ended) lifts when a plan starts; after a failed payment, once the payment goes through.
Site health
Joyrise runs 18 SEO checks on your site every hour and logs what changed on the dashboard's Site health card. Generate deep report reads up to 25 pages and gives you a PDF of every check from our SEO catalog that Joyrise can run automatically, worst problems first, plus the critical checks that need a person's judgment. You can make one report every 2 minutes.
Fix with Joy works on what those checks find, every 15 minutes, one problem at a time. It rewrites titles and meta descriptions that are missing, repeated or too long on your Webflow pages and the Joyrise articles published there, and meta descriptions on Webflow blog posts you wrote (it never rewrites your headlines). On WordPress and Shopify it finds the problems but can't change your pages yet, and the card says so. It only changes a title or description when the live page shows it comes from that field, and never touches a post with unpublished changes. In the text of your articles and blog posts it also fixes headings, removes links to pages that are gone and renames "read more" links. It counts a fix only once the live page shows it, and makes at most 20 changes a day. When it can't fix something (a new page, a redirect, your hosting), the card says why and what to do. Joy's recent changes show on the card with an Undo button. A change to a Webflow page's settings goes live when your site is published, which also publishes any unpublished Designer changes: Joy waits for you to press Publish site, unless your site is set to publish after each article. Fixes run on sites with a plan.
Emails and notifications
- Account emails (your first article, a plan starting, a payment problem) are always sent.
- Reminders and the weekly digest can be turned off on the Notifications page, or from the link in any of those emails.

Questions
Can I try Joyrise before paying?
Yes. Joyrise writes your first article for free, on a topic picked for your site. You read most of it in the app before you choose a plan, and no card is needed until then.
Which website platforms does it work with?
Webflow, WordPress and Shopify: once connected, and on a plan, each article publishes as soon as it is written. Any other platform (Framer, Wix, Squarespace and so on): every article is saved as a draft you read in the app, then paste into your site.
Can I run more than one website?
Each account runs one website. Enterprise covers several websites under one contract.
Will Google penalize AI-written articles?
Google's guidance targets unhelpful, mass-produced pages, whoever or whatever wrote them. Joyrise writes one researched article per keyword, from your business profile, and links it into the rest of your site.
Will the articles sound like my company?
Your business name and description go into every article's brief, your audiences decide which topics Joyrise picks, and your formatting and link settings shape each article. You can change them at any time, and you see your first article, written for your site, before you pay anything.
Do I have to approve every article?
No. On a plan with Webflow, WordPress or Shopify connected, each article publishes as soon as it is written. Without one, each article waits as a draft. You can pause writing at any time.
How fast will I see traffic?
Indexing takes days, movement takes weeks, and the effect compounds over months. Connect Google Search Console and the dashboard shows clicks and impressions for the pages Joyrise wrote.
What happens if I cancel?
Published articles stay on your site; nothing is removed. Writing stops when the subscription ends.
Can AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT use Joyrise?
Yes. Joyrise has an MCP server at https://api.joyrise.ai/mcp. Add it as a connector, sign in with your Joyrise account, and the assistant can run your account for you. See https://joyrise.ai/docs/mcp.
