# Add a blog to your Base44 site

> Add a blog to your Base44 app: paste the Mentionwell setup prompt into the Base44 chat and it builds a /blog page. What works today and what to check.

You can add a blog to a Base44 app the same way as other chat builders: sign up for Mentionwell, paste the setup prompt from the Connect screen into the Base44 chat, and ask it to build a /blog page. Base44 is not one of the builders we list in the app yet, so check the result before you share it.

## Setup

1. **Sign up free and add your domain.** Create an account and enter your app's address. Mentionwell reads the site to learn what you sell and who it is for. No card, and the 14-day trial includes one real article.

2. **Paste the setup prompt into Base44.** In the app, open Connect, choose “In a chat on a website”, and copy the setup prompt. Paste it into the Base44 chat for your app. Ask Base44 to make the Mentionwell Reader API call from a backend function, so the key in the prompt stays on the server, and to add a /blog page plus an article page.

3. **Publish and check /blog.** Publish the app, open yoursite.com/blog, and click into the first article. New articles show up there on their own after that.

## Good to know

- Base44 is not one of the builders named on the Connect screen. The chat prompt is generic, so the same path applies, but we have not written a Base44-specific recipe.
- The setup prompt contains a server-side API key. If your Base44 app cannot run backend functions, do not let the builder put the key in page code. Email admin@mentionwell.com and we will help you find another path.
- Base44 pages render in the browser. Google renders JavaScript, but many AI crawlers do not, so articles on a client-rendered page are easier for Google to see than for ChatGPT or Claude.

## FAQ

### Does Mentionwell work with Base44?

The chat-builder path works the same way: paste the setup prompt and Base44 builds the /blog page. Base44 is not listed by name in the app yet, and the Reader API key needs to live in a backend function, not in page code.

### Do I need a CMS?

No. Mentionwell stores and serves the articles. Your site only needs a /blog page that reads them, and your AI builder writes that page for you from the setup prompt.

### Can I read and edit posts before they go out?

Yes. Every article lives in the Mentionwell dashboard, where you can read it, edit it, and change what gets written next. Your /blog page shows whatever is published there.

### What does it cost to try?

Nothing. Every new account gets a 14-day trial with one real article written for your site (it starts as soon as setup finishes), plus a few AI visibility checks. No card. After 14 days you stay on the Free plan, which still writes 1 article a month. Builder is $24/month ($19/month billed yearly) for 5 articles, a weekly AI search check, and the CLI and MCP for your coding agent. Starter is $79/month for 15 articles.
