Setting Up Your Account
Updated March 11, 2026
This article covers how to create your Content Raptor account, verify your email, and manage your account settings.
Creating Your Account
- Go to the Sign Up page.
- Enter your email and create a strong password.
- Click "Sign Up".
Verifying Your Email
Before you can start optimizing, you must verify your email address.
- Check your inbox for a verification email from Content Raptor.
- Click the verification link inside.
- Return to the app and click "Reload page".
Tip: If you don't see the email, check your Spam folder or click "Resend email" on the verification screen.
Security Tips
- Use a unique password — Do not reuse passwords from other sites.
- Verify immediately — Unverified accounts may be deactivated after 7 days and will need to re-register.
Your new account includes a free 7-day Pro trial with access to every feature — no credit card required. After 7 days, your account moves to the free tier. See Using the Free Tier for what's included, or Upgrading or Changing Plans to subscribe.
Once your account is set up, see Managing Your Account for settings, password changes, and preferences.
What to Do After Setup
- Connect Google Search Console — This is the most important next step. Content Raptor needs your GSC data to find optimization opportunities. Without it, you won't see any opportunities.
- Explore the Home page — Once GSC is connected, your Home page will populate with your best optimization opportunities. Most sites are ready within a few minutes; larger sites can take up to 24 hours.
- Start your first optimization — Follow the Quick Start guide to complete your first optimization.
