From signup to your first live placement
Scout is approval-first: it proposes, you decide, it executes. The whole golden path in one sitting.
Scout is approval-first: it proposes, you decide, it executes. This guide walks the golden path end-to-end — budget about twenty minutes of doing, and a few days of Scout working in the background.
1. Sign up and tell Scout who you are
Create your account at app.rynnhq.com/signup. Onboarding asks for the essentials: your brand, your market, your timezone, your voice, and the sources that matter to you. Be specific about your market — "CRM for home-services contractors" gives Scout a far sharper hunting ground than "CRM."
2. Set your voice
Pick the voice profile that sounds like you. Everything Scout drafts — placement articles and thread replies alike — is shaped by it, and you can adjust it any time in Settings.
3. Approve your first topic
Within a day, your calendar will show recommended topics: each has a headline, an outline, the target keyword, and a profile of the site it'll land on. Open one. If the angle is right, approve it. If it's close, edit the headline or outline and then approve. If it's wrong, reject it — rejections teach the recommendations.
4. Watch the placement go live
Approved topics move to writing, then human editorial review, then publish. You'll be notified with the live URL — open it, check the article, the disclosure, the byline. That's your brand in real editorial coverage.
5. Read your dashboard
The dashboard tracks the outcomes: placements live, search rankings on your tracked queries, and whether your brand surfaces in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers. Citations compound over weeks — the leading indicators (placements live, rankings creeping) show up first.
