## Who is BlitzBear for?

BlitzBear is for digital marketers and SEO agencies and consultants.

When your company or your clients' blog have hundreds or thousands of existing posts, they're already starting to slip in the SERP ranks. BlitzBear optimizes your existing blog content and puts you back up in top search results.&#x20;

## Requirements

As long as you have a blog sitemap you can submit, you can use BlitzBear to get SEO optimization suggestions for your blog posts.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Optional:** If your blog is hosted on Cloudflare, you can enable BlitzBear's [⚡️ Lightning Mode](#lightning-mode) to automatically publish changes without needing to log in to your CMS (e.g, WordPress, Webflow).

Without Lightning Mode, you will need to copy/paste the SEO optimizations manually into your CMS.

If your blog domain is not using Cloudflare, you have two options:

* **Option 1:** Transfer your domains to Cloudflare in order to use BlitzBear today. [See a step-by-step guide](https://blog.cloudflare.com/a-step-by-step-guide-to-transferring-domains-to-cloudflare/).
* **Option 2:** Or wait for BlitzBear's non-Cloudflare solution. [Sign up for our waitlist](https://tally.so/r/nrOYAR).
  {% endhint %}

### ⚡️ Lightning Mode

⚡️ Lightning Mode allows BlitzBear to seamlessly serve your SEO-optimized pages to website visitors. No need to login to your CMS. And no Chrome extensions or plugins necessary to download. Here are the requirements.

1. Your blog domain must be hosted on Cloudflare (How your blog is hosted does not matter -- your blog could be on a top-level domain like `https://yoursite.com/blog` or on a subdomain like `https://blog.yoursite.com`)
2. Your blog domain must be proxied through Cloudflare (the orange cloud must be enabled next to the DNS record)

#### **Not sure if you are using Cloudflare?**

Use a WHOIS tool like [WHOIS](https://who.is/) and enter the domain of your blog.

* If your blog is on a top-level domain like `https://yoursite.com`, enter `yoursite.com`
* If your blog is on a subdomain like `https://blog.yoursite.com`, enter `blog.yoursite.com`

If the name servers are `isaac.ns.cloudflare.com` and `joan.ns.cloudflare.com`, that means your blog is running on Cloudflare.

Once you have confirmed you are using Cloudflare, view our[ Getting Started ](/getting-started.md)guide.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.blitzbear.com/what-is-blitzbear.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
