Built-in SEO

Rank higher with built-in SEO

Every article is optimized for search engines out of the box. No plugins, no extra setup — just better visibility for your help content.

Meta title & description overrides

Customize how each article appears in search results with dedicated meta fields and a live SERP preview.

JSON-LD structured data

Article, BreadcrumbList, and WebSite schemas are generated automatically for rich search results.

Canonical URLs

Prevent duplicate content issues by setting canonical URLs for syndicated or cross-posted articles.

Open Graph & Twitter Cards

Articles look great when shared on social media with auto-generated OG and Twitter card meta tags.

AI Chatbot

Resolve queries instantly with AI

Turn your knowledge base into a 24/7 support agent. The AI chatbot answers customer questions in real time using your articles — so your team can focus on what matters.

Embed anywhere with one line of code

Drop a single script tag into your website, app, or Google Tag Manager. The widget loads instantly without slowing your page.

Fully customisable look and feel

Match your brand — change the name, icon, colours, and welcome message. The chatbot feels native to your product, not bolted on.

Smart fallback to human support

When the bot can't answer, it shows a contact form automatically. No dead ends for your customers.

Works on any website or platform

WordPress, Shopify, React, static HTML — the embed widget uses Shadow DOM so it works everywhere with zero CSS conflicts.

Never lose track of a customer conversation

Every contact form submission from your knowledge base lands as a ticket. Reply from your own email — HelpGuides tracks the thread automatically.

All conversations in one place

Every contact form submission appears as a ticket with full message history. Filter by Open, Replied, Resolved, or Archived.

Reply from email, tracked automatically

When a visitor reaches out, you get an email notification. Reply from your inbox — HelpGuides captures it and keeps the conversation thread complete.

See response times and status at a glance

Know which threads are open, which are awaiting a reply, and how fast your team responds. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Turn resolutions into articles

Once a query is resolved, convert it into a help article with one click. Your best support answers become your next knowledge base entries.

AI Assist

Draft articles in seconds, not hours

Stop staring at a blank editor. Upload screenshots of your product, paste a link to an existing page, and let AI turn raw inputs into a structured first draft you can polish in minutes.

Generate from screenshots

Drop in 1–5 screenshots of any flow. AI writes the step-by-step guide and places each image inline, in the right order.

Smart title & description

Titles, descriptions, and meta tags are suggested from your content — already optimised for search and social sharing.

Import from any URL

Migrating from another help centre? Paste the URL and we convert the live page into clean, editable markdown.

You stay in control

Every AI output lands as an editable draft. Tweak, rewrite, or rip it apart in the WYSIWYG editor before publishing.

MCP & REST API

Author articles from Claude, Codex, or any coding agent

HelpGuides ships with a built-in MCP server and a public REST API. Connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, or your own scripts — and let your agents create, update, and publish articles directly from the tools you already work in.

One-line MCP connection

Add the HelpGuides MCP server to Claude Desktop or Claude Code with a bearer token — and start authoring with natural language.

Works with any agent

Codex, Cursor, custom LangChain agents, or shell scripts — anything that speaks REST or MCP can read and write your knowledge base.

Drafts by default, you publish

Articles created via MCP land as drafts. Review, edit, and publish from the HelpGuides editor — no accidental changes go live.

Auditable & rate-limited

Every API key is scoped to your company, sliding-window rate-limited, and stamps articles with its key ID so you always know what came from where.

Customisation

Your brand, your portal

Make it yours in minutes — not days. Every portal is fully brandable so your help centre looks like a natural extension of your product.

Custom logo, colours, and accent theme

Upload your logo and pick a brand colour. The entire portal — sidebar, links, buttons — updates instantly to match.

Your own domain and URL

Each portal lives at helpguides.app/your-name. Customers see your brand, not ours.

White-label option on PRO

Remove all HelpGuides branding from the footer and sidebar. Your customers will never know it's not built in-house.

Dark mode included

Every portal supports light and dark mode automatically. No extra configuration needed.

Multiple Workspaces

One subscription. Multiple knowledge bases.

Add a separate workspace for each company or product you support — all from one account. Every workspace gets its own portal URL, custom branding, AI chatbot, and team.

Separate brands, zero overlap

Each workspace has its own logo, accent color, portal URL, and sidebar styling. Your customers never see the seams between them.

Independent AI chatbots

Every workspace trains its chatbot on its own articles. Customers get answers scoped to the product they're actually using.

One dashboard, full control

Switch between workspaces in a click. Manage content, invite teammates, and review analytics — all from a single account.

Built for agencies and multi-product teams

Run a help center for each client or product line without paying per workspace. Pro gives you 3, Prime gives you 10.

The Markdown editor is fantastic for our developer docs. Dark mode, clean typography, code blocks — our developers actually enjoy reading our docs now.

Setting up our knowledge base took less than an hour. The branding customization is simple but effective. It feels like part of our product, not a third-party tool.
