One DNS record
Add a single CNAME record in your GoDaddy DNS settings. That’s the only technical step — we handle everything else.
Automatic publishing
Articles publish directly to your blog. No manual importing, no drafts to review — content goes live automatically.
Full SEO value
Your blog lives on your domain (blog.yourdomain.com) with proper URLs, auto-SSL, and full search engine indexability.

Your blog automatically uses your brand color for a cohesive look that matches your main GoDaddy website.

How to Connect
Connect GoDaddy in Cited

Add DNS record
Add a CNAME record in your GoDaddy DNS settings: Name = "blog", Value = the hostname shown in the setup screen.
Verify DNS

Done — articles auto-publish
Your blog is live. All future articles publish automatically. Add a "Blog" link in your GoDaddy site menu.
Requirements
- Your own domain name (not a free GoDaddy subdomain)
- Access to your domain’s DNS settings
- Any GoDaddy plan (Website Builder, Websites + Marketing, etc.)
Style Your Blog
One-time setup to make your published articles look polished and professional.
Add a blog link
In your GoDaddy site editor, add a navigation menu item labeled "Blog" pointing to blog.yourdomain.com.
Brand consistency
Your blog automatically uses your brand color. To update it, change your brand color in Cited settings.
