How to use Zeus chat

Click the Ask Zeus bubble in the bottom corner of any dashboard page to open the chat. Type a question in Ask Zeus… and press Enter to send (Shift+Enter adds a new line). Chatting with Zeus is free. Only the paid tasks he runs for you cost credits.

How to ask Zeus something

1. Click the Ask Zeus bubble.
2. Type your question, for example "How is Smith Plumbing ranking for drain cleaning?" or "How do I connect a domain?"
3. Press Enter. While he works, Zeus shows what he's doing, like Checking keyword rankings or Searching knowledge base.
4. If he offers to run something, check the card and click Confirm or Cancel.

What Zeus can look up

• Your client list and a client's details, services and service areas.
• Edicts, decrees and omens Zeus found for a client.
• Tracked keywords and rankings, Google Search Console and GA4 numbers, recent map scans.
• Citations, the schema audit, the content strategy, Google Business Profile audit, review comparison, competitor watch, AI search visibility and Business Profile drafts waiting for approval.
• A client's social calendar: the networks they use, what was posted in the last 30 days, what's scheduled and the drafts waiting.
• This knowledge base. Ask "how do I…" and Zeus answers with a link to the article.
• Your shareable links: the client onboarding form, the prospect tool, a client's image upload link and their portal sign-in address, plus who at the client has portal access.

What Zeus can do for you

• Run an SEO audit for any website, even one that isn't a client yet.
• Run a local map scan for a client. Unless you give a size or radius, he uses the client's map scan settings, or a 5 × 5 grid and the service-area radius (2 to 5 miles). The Confirm card shows the grid and radius before anything runs. Chat scans go up to 10 miles.
• Write content: service area pages, service pages and blog articles, with or without images.
• Write a pack of social posts for a client, one per network they use, from one of their blog posts or a topic. The posts land as drafts in the client's Content → Social. Nothing is posted on its own.
• Write a press release for a client. It's saved as a draft in Content → Press Releases.
• Add a keyword to a client's tracking, save a blog idea to their Content → Strategy tab, and mark an edict, decree or omen as done, in progress or dismissed.
• Suggest blog ideas for a keyword (free).

Confirm cards

Zeus never runs a paid task or changes your data on his own. He shows a card with exactly what will happen, for example the client, keyword and grid size. Click Confirm to run it or Cancel to drop it. Cards that cost credits say This uses credits. A card expires after 15 minutes and works once; just ask again.

When the task finishes, the card shows a link to the results, Past content or Past audits. If you're out of credits, you get a Buy credits link instead.

Conversations

• New conversation (the button at the top of the chat) starts fresh.
• Chat history shows Recent conversations: your own chats from the last 24 hours, up to 20, newest first. Click one to reopen it. Older chats aren't listed.

Getting a person from support

Ask Zeus "how do I contact support?" or "can I talk to a person?" He answers straight away with an Open a support ticket link. A person on the ContentForge team replies, usually within one business day. Zeus never gives out a support email or phone number. See Getting help and support.

Examples

• Monday check-in: "Which of my clients have new edicts this week?" Then "Mark the first one for Smith Plumbing as in progress" and click Confirm.
• Prospect call prep: "Run an SEO audit for joesroofing.com, Joe's Roofing in Austin, TX." Confirm, then open the results from the card.
• Fresh social content: "Write social posts for Bright Dental from their latest blog post." Confirm and review the drafts in Content → Social.
• Quick how-to: "How do I add a team member?" Zeus answers and links the article.

Limits and what it can't do

• Up to 20 messages a minute and 400 a day for your whole agency. One message can make several lookups.
• Chat history keeps the last 24 hours, up to 20 conversations.
• Confirm cards expire after 15 minutes.
• Zeus works only on your agency's own clients and data. A team member only gets answers about the clients they're assigned to.
• He can't publish websites, send emails to clients, change billing or delete clients.
• Social posts and press releases are always saved as drafts for you to review.
• Client people never get Zeus chat.
• The bubble is on dashboard pages. Zeus in the Mount Olympus editor is a separate chat for building pages. See Zeus in the editor.

Credits

Chatting, looking things up, blog ideas and the free changes (tracking a keyword, saving a blog idea, updating a recommendation) don't use credits. These use credits once you confirm: an SEO audit, a map scan, writing content (and images), a social pack (1 credit, charged once it's written) and a press release (2 credits, charged once it's written). The live prices are listed at the top of this article and in What costs credits.

Who can use it

Agency owners and admins always have Zeus chat. Team members need the Zeus tool on Team Members. If it's switched off for them, the bubble doesn't show, and a chat left open says "Zeus is switched off for your account. Ask your agency owner to turn it on." Zeus is for agencies only. Clients never see it.

Troubleshooting

• Zeus is switched off for your account. Ask your agency owner to turn it on.: your Zeus tool is switched off. An Owner or Admin can turn it back on under Tools on your row in Settings → Team Members.
• No Ask Zeus bubble: the Zeus tool is switched off for you. Ask your owner or an admin.
• "Failed to reach Zeus. Please try again." with a code after it: the message didn't go through. Wait a moment and send it again. If it keeps happening, you may have hit the 20-a-minute or 400-a-day agency limit. Try again later.
• "Session expired — please refresh the page and try again.": your sign-in ran out, or your access to Zeus changed. Refresh the page.
• "Couldn't reach Zeus — please try again." on a Confirm card: the click didn't reach Zeus. Click Confirm again, or ask again.
• "This confirmation has expired — ask Zeus again.": the card is older than 15 minutes. Ask Zeus to do it again.
• "Already handled.": that card was already confirmed or canceled.
• "Tool access required" on a card: you don't have the tool that task needs.
• A Buy credits link instead of results: you don't have enough credits. See Buy credit packs.
• An old conversation is missing: history only keeps the last 24 hours.
• Zeus can't find a client: use the client's name as it appears on your Clients list. Team members only see their assigned clients.
