Welcome to Yolando! Let's get your account configured so you can start gathering insights. The entire process is straightforward and should take less than five minutes.

Step 1: Create Your Account

First, create your user profile. This will be your personal login for accessing all of your Yolando workspaces.

• Sign up using your work email address.
  
  

• Once created, you can use this single account to log in and access or switch between multiple brand workspaces.

Step 2: Set Up Your Workspace

A workspace is the dedicated environment for a single brand, containing all its unique data, competitors, and insights.

• Joining an Existing Workspace: If your company already has a Yolando workspace, simply ask a workspace administrator to send you an invitation via email.
  
  

• Creating a New Workspace: If you are the first user from your company, you will create a new workspace during onboarding by simply entering your brand's primary URL (e.g., yourcompany.com).

Step 3: Set Your Tracked Competitors

This step tells Yolando which brands to benchmark your performance against.

• Based on your industry, Yolando will automatically suggest a list of potential competitors. You can accept these, remove any that aren't relevant, or add your own.
  
  

• To add a new competitor, just enter their URL in the "Add competitor" field.

💡 Tip: Don't worry about getting this perfect right away. You can add, remove, and manage your tracked competitors at any time by navigating to Knowledge Base > Competitors.

Step 4: Select Your Topics

Topics are high-level categories that group your prompts thematically (e.g., Pricing, Key Features, Use Cases). All of your performance metrics will roll up into these topics, giving you a clear view of your strengths and weaknesses.

• Yolando will suggest default topics to start with, but you can customize this list by adding new topics or removing suggestions.
  
  

• (Optional) Add Instructions and SEO Keywords: To help generate more relevant prompts, you can provide additional instructions or SEO keywords to include. This gives Yolando more context to improve the prompts it generates.

Step 5: Review and Manage Prompts

Prompts are the specific questions Yolando runs on AI platforms to measure your brand's discoverability and performance.

• After you define your topics, Yolando will generate a list of recommended prompts for you to review and approve. You can also edit them or add new custom prompts manually.

Note: Prompts are the engine of your insights. You can always adjust your active prompts in Knowledge Base > Prompt Manager.

Step 6: Invite Your Team

AEO is a team sport. Invite your colleagues to collaborate in your Yolando workspace.

• You can invite teammates at any time in Settings > Team.
  
  

• Assign a role to each member to manage their permissions:

Step 7: Choose Your Plan

Finally, activate your account by choosing a subscription plan.

• Select either a Monthly or Annual billing cycle. (Annual plans include a 15% discount.)
  
  

• Enter your payment details securely through our Stripe portal.
  
  

• All annual plans include a risk-free, 7-day money-back guarantee.

Once these steps are complete, Yolando will begin running your prompts and gathering your first insights.
