Rank Prompt writes posts to your Ghost site through a custom integration. Each post carries its SEO title, meta description, social cards, excerpt, tags and feature image, and the article's structured data goes into the post's code injection. Images are copied to your Ghost site, so the post never depends on another server. Posts are never emailed to your members from here.
You can publish now, schedule a date, save a draft for review, update a published post and remove it.
Ghost 5 or later, on a public https address (Ghost(Pro) or self-hosted)
The Owner or an Administrator of the Ghost site, to add a custom integration

In Ghost Admin, open Settings > Integrations, click Add custom integration, name it "Rank Prompt" and copy the Admin API key (two parts joined by a colon, not the Content API key).
In Rank Prompt, open Integrations > Publish Content. In the More platforms card, click Ghost, or + (Connect a platform), pick Ghost and click Continue.
Enter the Site address: the address you open Ghost Admin on, without /ghost.
Paste the Admin API key and click Continue. Rank Prompt reads the site and its staff.
Choose the author Ghost shows on every post, then click Connect.
The card now lists the site with the Active status. Check connection (the arrows) tests it again, and Connection settings (the gear) lets you change the key or the author, open Ghost or remove the connection.
Open an article, click More actions (the three dots) and Publish. Pick Your Ghost and choose Publish, a date under Schedule, or Save as draft. A scheduled post waits in Ghost as a draft and Rank Prompt publishes it at its time.
Message | What to do |
|---|---|
The Ghost address must start with https://, since the Admin API key is sent with every call. | Enter the https address of the site. |
This is not a Ghost Admin API key. | Copy the Admin API key of a custom integration, not the Content API key. |
Ghost refused the Admin API key. | Copy the key again from Settings, Integrations and reconnect. |
This Ghost site is private (Settings, Access) | Make the site public in Ghost, or search engines and AI assistants cannot read the posts. |
Someone was editing this post in Ghost at the same time. | Wait a minute and publish again. |
Search engines are not told when you publish | Ghost cannot serve an IndexNow key file, so Bing finds new posts on its own crawl. Nothing to fix. |
A post deleted in Ghost is published again as a new post the next time you update it, and the article says so.
