How connecting works (one DNS record, explained simply)
You add one line where you bought your domain. It points blog.yourdomain.com at us. That's all.
Your domain (yourbusiness.com) is managed at a registrar: GoDaddy, Namecheap, Squarespace, Google, Cloudflare, Wix, and so on. Registrars keep a small list of records that say where each address goes.
We ask you to add one record:
| Type | Name / Host | Value / Points to |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | blog | sites.updatemyseo.com |
That tells the internet "blog.yourbusiness.com lives at Update My SEO." Nothing about your main website changes. Your homepage, email, and everything else keep working exactly as they do now.
After you add it, come back to Site & publishing and click Check DNS. Most records show up in a few minutes; some registrars take up to a few hours. Until it's connected, your articles are live on your preview blog, and they move over automatically the moment it verifies.
