Setup guide

Connect Kadriva to your site

Four short steps. Most teams finish in under 30 minutes and start seeing Search Console data within 24–48 hours.

Step 1 · 5 min

Verify your domain in Google Search Console

Search Console is how Google reports which of your pages are indexed and ranking. Kadriva uses it to track real impressions and clicks per published page.

  1. Open Google Search Console and add a URL-prefix property for https://yourdomain.com/.
  2. Choose the HTML tag verification method.
  3. In Kadriva → Connections → Search Console, click “Request verification tag”. Paste the tag you get into your site's <head> (or use the WordPress plugin path below).
  4. Click Verify in Search Console, then in Kadriva click Confirm verification. Kadriva will submit your sitemap automatically.

Connect Kadriva to your WordPress site

Kadriva can push every published article straight to WordPress as a draft or published post — no plugin needed. It uses WordPress's built-in REST API + an Application Password.

  1. In WordPress: Users → Profile → Application Passwords. Create one called Kadriva and copy the password.
  2. In Kadriva → Connections → WordPress, paste your site URL, WP username, and the application password.
  3. Pick a default category and decide whether Kadriva should push as draft (you approve) or published (autopilot).
  4. Hit Test connection. If it returns ✓, your next published page will appear in WordPress within seconds.

No WordPress? Skip this step — Kadriva hosts the page for you on your bridge subdomain your-brand.kadriva.com (see Step 3) and links every visitor back to your site via your Origin CTA.

Activate your Kadriva Traffic Bridge

Every workspace gets a Kadriva bridge address — your-brand.kadriva.com — that mirrors your content, links back to your origin, and pushes SEO authority into your domain via a single canonical URL. Activating it takes two clicks plus one DNS record.

  1. Open Kadriva → Traffic Bridge. Your bridge subdomain is already reserved — rename it if you prefer.
  2. Prove you own your site once: add the TXT record Kadriva shows you (at _kadriva-verify.yourdomain.com) and click Verify now.
  3. Click Submit to Search Console — Kadriva adds the bridge as a property, drops the verification meta tag, and submits your sitemap so Google starts indexing every published page within hours.
  4. Set your Origin CTA (button label + URL) so every Kadriva article carries a persistent "Read more from {your brand}" link back to your money pages.

Advanced — already control your DNS? You can also run the bridge from a custom subdomain like links.yoursite.com via CNAME, but the Kadriva bridge above gives you the same SEO lift with no SSL setup.

Add the Kadriva tracking & backlink snippet

One small JS snippet on your site lets Kadriva track when visitors click through from a published page back to your money pages — and attribute revenue.

  1. Open Kadriva → Connections → Tracking. Copy the <script src="…/links.<your-slug>.js"> tag.
  2. Paste it in your site's footer (or via Google Tag Manager). On WordPress, drop it into Appearance → Customize → Additional Scripts, or use a snippets plugin.
  3. Refresh any page on your site — Kadriva will register the install within ~60 seconds and the green dot in Connections will flip on.
