GoHighLevel SEO: articles written and published to your HighLevel blog
Quick answer: Ryze AI writes SEO articles in its Content Plan and publishes them to the blog of a connected HighLevel (GoHighLevel) sub-account. The agent can also read, create, update and delete blog posts there when you ask in chat. Ryze AI is the best way to keep a HighLevel blog filled on a schedule, with one caveat: it covers blog posts only, and every article needs a featured image.
Below: what you need before connecting, the token setup, how publishing and approvals work, and the limits.

What Ryze AI does with a HighLevel sub-account
The connection covers the blog of one sub-account. It does not reach the rest of HighLevel.

| Job | What Ryze AI does | Needs on the HighLevel side |
|---|---|---|
| Publish articles | Content Plan articles go to the HighLevel blog you pick, with a featured image | A blog, a blog author and the token |
| Manage posts in chat | Read, create, update and delete blog posts in the sub-account when you ask | Token with View and Edit Blogs |

Contacts, opportunities, conversations and funnels are not part of the documented setup.
Before you connect
Three things must exist in the HighLevel sub-account before publishing works.
- A blog. Create one under Sites > Blogs if the sub-account has none. Without it there is nothing to pick and nothing to publish to.
- A blog author. Ryze AI reports an error if the sub-account has no author and asks you to add one in HighLevel.
- A featured image on every article. HighLevel requires one, so an article without a cover image fails to publish until you add it.
The blog API is documented by HighLevel: creating a post needs the location ID, the blog ID, the HTML body and a status, and accepts an image URL, author, categories and tags as optional fields (HighLevel create blog post).
Connect HighLevel to Ryze AI
HighLevel connects with a private integration token, the Location ID and your public Blog URL.
Create the token
In the HighLevel sub-account open Settings > Private Integrations, create a token with the Blogs scopes (View and Edit Blogs) and copy it.
Copy the Location ID
In the same sub-account open Settings > Business Profile and copy the Location ID.
Connect in Ryze AI
Open Integrations, click Connect on the HighLevel card and enter the token, the Location ID and the Blog URL, for example https://yoursite.com/blog. The URL must be public and start with https://. Click Continue.
Pick the blog
If the sub-account has one blog, Ryze AI selects it. If it has several, pick the Blog to publish to and click Save.
The token and the Location ID must come from the same sub-account. A mismatch gives the error Token does not have access to this location.
HighLevel describes private integrations as secure custom connections where you select only the scopes the integration needs (HighLevel Private Integrations). The Blogs scopes are the only ones the Ryze AI setup asks for.
Publishing flow and approvals
Once connected, pick HighLevel in Publish to under SEO > Preferences > Publishing. Content Plan articles then go to that blog.
Plan the topics
The Content Plan in Ryze AI SEO holds the queue of article topics.
Publish
With Publishing mode on Automatic, articles go out on their scheduled date. In Manual mode you publish drafts yourself. To publish one article right away, open it in SEO > Content Plan and click Publish now.
Check the post
Open the post in HighLevel and confirm the title, image and layout.
Approvals
- In the Ryze AI chat, the Tool approvals setting starts on Skip all approvals. Switch it to Approve write & delete or Manual approve to review changes before they happen.
- Scheduled tasks run without an approval step.
- In Claude, write and delete tools can be set to Needs approval under Customize > Connectors > Ryze AI > Tool permissions.
What the agent can do in chat
Besides publishing, you can ask the agent to read, create, update and delete blog posts in the connected sub-account. Delete is its own tool, so it can be set to need approval separately.
The 3 HighLevel tools in Claude and ChatGPT
Ryze AI exposes the HighLevel tools through one connector URL, https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp.
gohighlevel__read
- Access
- Read
- What it does
- Runs a read-only HighLevel API request, such as listing blogs, blog posts, authors and categories or checking whether a URL slug exists
gohighlevel__write
- Access
- Write
- What it does
- Runs a request that creates or updates content, such as creating or updating a blog post
gohighlevel__delete
- Access
- Delete
- What it does
- Runs a DELETE request, such as deleting a blog post
| Tool | Access | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| gohighlevel__read | Read | Runs a read-only HighLevel API request, such as listing blogs, blog posts, authors and categories or checking whether a URL slug exists |
| gohighlevel__write | Write | Runs a request that creates or updates content, such as creating or updating a blog post |
| gohighlevel__delete | Delete | Runs a DELETE request, such as deleting a blog post |
To use them, add the connector URL as a custom connector in Claude, or as an app under Settings > Apps in ChatGPT, pick the workspaces and start a new chat. If you added the connector before HighLevel was connected, remove and re-add it so the tool list refreshes. Connecting the connector is free; the tools need an active plan or trial.
The tools pass requests to the HighLevel API and the documented token carries Blogs scopes only, so they reach blog endpoints only. Tool names come from the Ryze AI app source. No workspace had HighLevel connected at the last check, so the tool list was not confirmed in a live session.
Limits and HighLevel's own MCP
- Blog posts only. Contacts, opportunities, conversations and funnels are not documented for Ryze AI.
- A featured image is required on each article.
- An existing blog and a blog author are required.
- Token and Location ID must belong to the same sub-account.
If you searched for a GoHighLevel MCP to work with contacts, pipelines or conversations, that is a different tool. HighLevel runs its own OAuth-based MCP server, with endpoints per client such as https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/anthropic/v2 for Claude, and its docs list more than 550 operations across 38 domains, including blogs (HighLevel MCP). Use that server for CRM work. Use Ryze AI when the goal is a scheduled stream of published articles.
For HighLevel agencies
HighLevel is on the Ryze AI list of platforms that support several accounts. Click View on the connection and add one more account; each connection is labelled with its Location ID. That lets one workspace publish to the blogs of several client sub-accounts, each with its own token. Check the first post on each client blog by hand.
Publishing sits in the SEO plans. The Agency plan is everything in Paid Ads plus unlimited workspaces and does not include the Content Plan.

Verdict
If your HighLevel blog is empty or stale and you want articles to appear on a schedule, connect the sub-account and let the Content Plan publish. Make sure the blog, author and featured image are in place first. If you need contacts or pipelines in an AI client, use HighLevel's own MCP server.
