Your first hour in Avago — the whole flow
The single article most owners read first. Covers the import, picking a template, the AI population, the editor basics, and clicking publish for the first time.
What Avago needs from you to start
Avago builds from sources, not from a blank page. To begin you need one of four things:
- The URL of an existing website
- A Facebook page
- A LinkedIn page
- A short typed description of the business
Any one is enough. From whichever you give it, Avago reads your branding, your copy, your business hours, your photos and your tone of voice. The more it can see, the less you fill in by hand.
Importing from a URL, Facebook or LinkedIn
Paste the link and Avago reads the public content:
- From a URL — colours, logo, headings, body copy, services, opening hours and any photos worth keeping.
- From Facebook — your page name, about text, cover and profile images, hours and recent posts.
- From LinkedIn — your company description, sector and brand imagery.
It reads the content and ignores the old layout and code entirely. Nothing about the structure of your previous site carries over — only the substance.
Picking the right template for your trade
Avago's templates are designed by humans and filled by AI. Pick one that matches how your business actually sells: a service trade wants a strong hero, a clear list of services and a contact form; a shop wants room for products and photos. You are not locked in — you can switch templates later and your content maps across, so choose the closest fit and move on.
What the AI does (and what it never does)
The AI places your real content into the template: it writes headings and section copy, slots in your photos, sets your hours and applies your colours. It is source-locked, which means it only writes from what you gave it. It will not invent services you don't offer, awards you haven't won or testimonials nobody wrote. If a fact isn't in your sources, it leaves a sensible placeholder for you to fill.
Your first edit pass — what to fix
Go through the page top to bottom and check the things only you know:
- Your phone number, email and address.
- Opening hours, including anything seasonal.
- The headline — make sure it sounds like you.
- Photos — swap any that don't represent the business well.
- Your list of services and their descriptions.
Edit text by clicking straight into it. When the page reads true, you are ready to connect a domain and publish. Building is free; you only pay when you go live.
