# Quickstart

> Set up your site in the Jam dashboard, start the trial, and read your first results and Plan.

Prefer to let your agent do the setup? See [Onboard with your agent](https://docs.spreadjam.com/onboard-with-your-agent.md).

## 1. Set up your site

Open [spreadjam.com/start](https://www.spreadjam.com/start) and sign in or create an account. Setup asks a few questions, each on its own page:

**1. What site should Jam track?**

Enter your website, for example `acme.com`.

**2. How should Jam describe you?**

Jam drafts a description of your company from your site. Edit anything that
is off: this is how Jam talks about you.

**3. Who buys from you, and who do you compete with?**

Your audiences and competitors. Jam uses them to write prompts and to rank
you against the right brands.

**4. Which questions should Jam watch?**

The prompts: questions buyers ask AI assistants when they look for something
like you. Edit, add or remove any. See [Prompts](https://docs.spreadjam.com/tracking/prompts.md).

**5. Choose your plan**

Pick a prompt capacity, a scan cadence, the platforms and your work credits.
A new account gets a 14-day free trial; checkout asks for a card. See [Plans
and credits](https://docs.spreadjam.com/billing/plans-and-credits.md).

## 2. Read your first results

The first scan starts when your plan is active. It asks every prompt on every platform, so it takes a few minutes; the numbers fill in as answers arrive. You then see:

* **Visibility**: how often AI assistants mention and recommend you, against your competitors.
* **Answers**: the full text of every AI answer, with the brands it named and the URLs it cited.
* **Sources**: which sites the assistants cite. Your own site is marked.

See [Scans and answers](https://docs.spreadjam.com/tracking/scans-and-answers.md).

## 3. Work the Plan

When the first scan finishes, Jam runs its first [research](https://docs.spreadjam.com/research/overview.md) (free) and writes the Plan. Jam also drafts up to three of the top new pages by itself, once, from your plan's credits.

Each action on the Plan has two buttons: **Send to Jam** has Jam do it, and **Copy prompt** hands it to your own agent. See [Doing the work](https://docs.spreadjam.com/actions/doing-the-work.md).

## 4. Choose how pages reach your site

The Plan asks once: **Use Markdown** (you get each article as a file to publish yourself) or **Connect GitHub** (Jam opens a pull request on your site's repository). You can change it later in **Settings**. See [Delivery](https://docs.spreadjam.com/delivery/overview.md).
