🎨 Automated SEO - Webflow Integration

Connect Fast SEO Fix to your Webflow site using OAuth 2.0 to automatically publish SEO-optimized blog posts directly to your Webflow CMS collections.

Secure OAuth Integration

Uses Webflow's official OAuth 2.0 API - secure, encrypted, and revocable anytime from your Webflow account.

Prerequisites

  • ✅ Active Webflow account with a site
  • ✅ Published Webflow site (must be published at least once)
  • ✅ CMS Collection created for blog posts
  • ✅ Site with Webflow CMS plan or higher

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Prepare Your Webflow Site

  1. Log into Webflow Designer
  2. Go to CMS → Collections
  3. Click "Create New Collection"
  4. Name it "Blog Posts" (or your preferred name)
  5. Add the following fields to your collection:

Field Names Must Match Exactly!

Webflow is case-sensitive. Use the exact field names with hyphens as shown above (e.g., post-body, not postBody).

Step 2: Publish Your Webflow Site

  1. In Webflow Designer, click "Publish" (top-right corner)
  2. Publish to your staging domain (yoursite.webflow.io) or custom domain
  3. This is a one-time requirement - you won't need to republish after every post

Why Publish First?

Webflow requires your site to be published at least once before you can add CMS items via the API.

Step 3: Connect Webflow to Fast SEO Fix

  1. Go to Dashboard → Publishing Connections
  2. Click "Add Publishing Connection"
  3. Select "Webflow" from the platform dropdown
  4. Click "Connect Webflow Account"
  5. You'll be redirected to Webflow - click "Authorize"
  6. After authorization, you'll be redirected back to complete the setup:
    • Connection Name: e.g., "My Webflow Blog"
    • Select Site: Choose which Webflow site to publish to
    • Select Collection: Choose your blog posts collection
  7. Click "Complete Setup"

Publishing Your First Post

  1. Generate a blog post in your content calendar
  2. Click "Publish" on the generated post
  3. Select your Webflow connection
  4. Click "Publish Now"
  5. The post will be created in your Webflow CMS collection
  6. Visit your Webflow Editor to review the new post
