Publish your website and connect a domain

Take your reviewed site live, use its built-in address or connect your own domain, and understand what to do if the site is offline.

Updated

Publishing and keeping your Efficio website online is free. You do not need a payment method or a lead-capture subscription to publish or keep a custom domain connected.

Publish your site

  1. Sign in to your dashboard and review your prepared website.
  2. Check the content, images, links, business details, and contact options before approving them.
  3. Publish the site from your dashboard when you are ready for visitors to see it.

Sign in to your dashboard

Once published, your pages become visible to visitors and available to search engines and other discovery services. Publishing does not guarantee indexing, rankings, AI citations, or traffic. Third parties may cache, save, quote, or share published content.

You can continue editing after launch. Edits, suggested revisions, and drafts from action reports remain separate from the live site until you explicitly publish them. We do not publish those changes for you.

Use your built-in address

Every site receives a built-in Efficio web address. It works as soon as you publish, with no extra domain setup, so you can launch before connecting your own domain.

Connect your own domain

  1. Open your site settings and add the domain you want to use.
  2. Follow the instructions shown there to point your domain's DNS records to our platform.
  3. Once the domain is verified, your website serves from that domain automatically.

Use the DNS values provided in your site settings. If you need help connecting the domain, email support@effic.io.

If your site is offline

Using all ten included qualified leads without completing Checkout pauses integrated lead capture—not your website. Your content, domain, business details, existing leads, and free external links remain available. Payment or subscription status alone does not unpublish an otherwise eligible site using free website functionality.
