Do I need everything connected on day one?

No — incremental works best. Read-only sources first (minutes), the CMS days later once the audits have earned it, other channels weeks later when a real task needs them.

What does the free tier cover?

Every new workspace gets 15 free calls to run real audits before deciding anything. Solo is $18/month with monthly credits included after that.

Is connecting a write integration like WordPress risky?

Changes stage as drafts you can review by default, so the risk stays bounded — and workflows you trust can graduate to running on their own.

Connecting Search Console, GA4, Google Ads and WordPress: a solo operator's first week with Cogny

The workflow

The best first week isn't "connect everything." It's: three read-only Google sources in the first ten minutes, a first audit the same evening, and the CMS connected a few days later — after the audits have proved worth acting on. Picture it: Search Console five minutes after signup, GA4 right behind it, Google Ads within ten — and WordPress on day five, exactly when you want the first fix shipped rather than just described. An email platform can follow weeks later, when a real automation task calls for it.

Why it works

The sequence mirrors how trust actually builds. Read-only connections cost nothing to grant and immediately make the agent smarter about your business. The first audit is the audition: it either finds something real in your data or it doesn't. Only after that does a write connection — the one that lets the agent change your website — feel natural rather than risky. And because writes stage as drafts you can review, the risk stays bounded even then.

Connecting incrementally also keeps week one focused: one good audit acted on beats five integrations configured and forgotten.

The walkthrough

Sign up, connect Search Console. Google OAuth, two minutes. The agent can now see what you rank for.
Add GA4 and Google Ads. Same flow. Traffic behavior and paid spend join the picture.
Run your first audit the same session. SEO audit or Google Ads audit — whichever channel matters most. Read what it finds in your own data.
Connect WordPress when you want a fix shipped. An application password connects it; from then on, recommendations can end as staged drafts instead of to-do items.
Grow the stack on demand. Email platform, more ad channels — add them the day a task actually needs them.

Which of these fixes could you implement for me if I connected my WordPress?

What ships

By the end of week one: a connected data stack, at least one audit grounded in your real numbers, and — ideally — your first shipped fix on your own site.
