Ghost + Maintouch
Publish posts to Ghost as drafts or live, with SEO fields and schema in place.
Overview
Ghost keeps publishing simple, but every post still needs its meta title, meta description and feature image set, and structured data has to be pasted into code injection by hand.
Connect Ghost with your Admin API key and Maintouch publishes straight to your site. Posts go out as drafts or published, existing posts update in place, and title, slug, meta and schema fixes push back to the live post.
How it works
- 01
Add your Admin API key
Paste your Ghost API URL and Admin API key. There is nothing to install on your site.
- 02
Set your publish URL
Tell Maintouch where posts live, such as a blog subdomain or a path on your main domain.
- 03
Publish from Maintouch
Publish posts or save them as Ghost drafts, then update them from Maintouch when the content changes.
What you get
Ghost’s own SEO fields
Each post’s title tag and meta description land in Ghost’s meta title and meta description.
Schema in code injection
BlogPosting and FAQ schema go into the post’s code injection header, so they render on the page.
Feature images
The post’s main image becomes its Ghost feature image.
Fixes for live posts
Push accepted title, slug, meta and schema changes to posts that are already published in Ghost.
Questions
Do I need a plugin or theme change?
No. Maintouch uses the Ghost Admin API, and schema goes into each post’s code injection, so your theme stays as it is.
Can posts go out as drafts?
Yes. Each publish lets you choose between a Ghost draft and a published post.
Which URL does Maintouch record for a post?
Your custom domain. If Ghost only knows your ghost.io address, Maintouch builds the URL from your site’s domain instead.
