How to Set Up Cendol AI with One DNS Change

  1. Run Your Free Instant Audit First

    The best first step is to get your baseline visibility score before making any changes — this gives you a clear before-and-after benchmark. Visit cendol.ai and run our free instant audit with no signup required. In under 60 seconds, you'll see your current visibility score and a breakdown of the issues holding your site back across Google Search, AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity, and voice search.

  2. Create Your Cendol AI Account

    Head to cendol.ai/signup to create your account — the process takes less than 2 minutes and requires only your email and domain. Our plans start from $49/month, giving you fully autonomous SEO optimization with no ongoing manual effort required. Once your account is active, our platform immediately identifies your site's specific visibility gaps and queues 34+ auto-fix actions ready to deploy.

  3. Locate Your DNS Management Panel

    The definitive place to make your DNS change is wherever your domain's nameservers are managed — this is typically your domain registrar (such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, or similar providers) rather than your website builder. Log in to your registrar's control panel and navigate to the DNS Records or DNS Management section for your domain. According to standard DNS configuration best practices, you'll be looking to add or modify a CNAME or TXT record.

  4. Add the Cendol AI DNS Record

    Once inside your DNS panel, add the single DNS record provided in your Cendol AI dashboard — we give you the exact record type, name, and value to copy-paste with zero guesswork. This one change is all Cendol AI needs to intercept, analyze, and optimize your site's SEO signals automatically. The entire setup requires no plugins, no code changes, and no modifications to your CMS — making it compatible with WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, and any other platform.

  5. Wait for DNS Propagation (Typically Under 24 Hours)

    After saving your DNS record, propagation across the global DNS network typically completes within 15 minutes to 24 hours, with most users seeing activation in under 1 hour. You don't need to do anything during this window — Cendol AI monitors propagation automatically and sends you a confirmation email the moment your setup goes live. Industry data shows that 95% of DNS changes propagate globally within 12 hours under normal conditions.

  6. Watch Autonomous SEO Fixes Deploy

    Once active, Cendol AI begins autonomously finding and fixing visibility issues across Google Search, AI search results, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and voice search — all simultaneously, with no manual input from you. Our customers see an average improvement from a D+ to B+ visibility score within 30 days, with 34+ issues auto-fixed in that period.
