FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is networkr.dev?
An API that generates SEO-optimized blog articles for your site and cross-links them with other sites in your network. One API call connects your site. First article publishes in about 2 minutes. Daily articles generate automatically after that.
What databases are supported?
Supabase and PocketBase. The API writes articles directly to your database — your frontend doesn't need to change at all. It uses a configurable field map so it adapts to your existing schema.
What frameworks work?
Any. The CLI auto-detects Next.js, Astro, Nuxt, and SvelteKit, but the API is framework-agnostic. If you have a blog that reads from Supabase or PocketBase, it works.
How does cross-linking work?
When you connect multiple sites under the same email, they form a network. Every article gets scored against other articles in the network by tag overlap, keyword relevance, and recency. The top matches are included as editorial cross-links. This builds domain authority across your portfolio.
What's the difference between internal and external linking?
Internal linking (free) — cross-links between your own sites in your network. Same email = same network.
External linking ($2/page)— your articles also get linked from other developers' sites in the broader Networkr pool. Real sites, real traffic, editorially relevant links.

What LLM models are used?
Default is Qwen 3.6 Plus via OpenRouter (fast, high quality, cost-effective). You can switch any voice to use Claude Opus, Claude Sonnet, Claude Haiku, DeepSeek V3.2, Mistral, Llama 3.3, or any of 200+ models on OpenRouter.
How good are the articles?
Each article goes through a 7-stage pipeline: live news research, topic selection with deduplication, SERP competitive analysis, cross-link discovery, LLM generation with voice constraints, branded cover image, and publish. The LLM is given the top Google results and told to write something better. Articles are 1,500-2,500 words with real depth.
The voice system enforces persona, tone, and banned words (no "delve", no "landscape", no "leverage"). SEO Brain discovers topics from actual Google search data, not random generation.

Do I need a dashboard?
No. The product is 100% API. You get a weekly email digest every Monday with: articles published, keyword rank movements, pipeline health, SEO topic queue status, and recommendations. If you want a dashboard later, the full REST API is available to build one in your own app.
Can I trigger article generation manually?
Yes.
POST /api/sites/:id/blog/generate or await nm.generate(siteId) via the SDK. You can also pass a specific topic or angle.What is SEO Brain?
A weekly automated process that researches Google for each of your site's themes. It discovers keyword opportunities from People Also Ask and related searches, then uses the LLM to generate 5-8 unique article topic ideas. These topics are queued and the daily pipeline pulls from them before generating its own topic. This ensures articles target real search intent.
How does the weekly digest work?
Every Monday at 08:00 (Stockholm time), each network receives an email with: overall health status, articles published per site, links to recent articles, keyword rank changes (with arrows showing movement), SEO topic queue progress bars, pipeline success/failure counts, and orchestrator recommendations. Sent via Mailjet from reports@networkr.dev.
Can I self-host?
Yes. The entire engine is a single Docker container. Bring your own API keys (Anthropic or OpenRouter for LLM, Serper.dev for search). See the API docs for setup instructions.
Is this a PBN (Private Blog Network)?
No. PBNs are fake sites built solely for link manipulation. Networkr connects real sites with real content. The cross-linking is editorially justified — links only go to relevant articles scored by topic overlap. Google's guidelines say editorial links between related sites are fine. This is how media companies and content networks have always worked.
What happens if I disconnect a site?
The site stops generating articles and is removed from the network. Existing published articles stay in your database — they're yours. Cross-links to that site are removed from the registry.
