Indexly

AWS Amplify

For sites hosted on AWS Amplify, Indexly publishes through your Git repository and then triggers an Amplify build — so your static or SSR site rebuilds with the new content.

Amplify has no CMS of its own. Unlike WordPress, Ghost or Webflow, content is committed as files to your repo — Amplify's build pipeline does the rest.

What you can do

  • Commit Content Agent articles as Markdown/MDX to your repo
  • Open a pull request for review, or commit straight to a branch
  • Trigger an Amplify build via an incoming webhook
  • Verify AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended) aren't blocked by your Amplify config

Before you begin

  • An Amplify app connected to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket
  • Write access to the repository
  • A content directory in the repo (e.g. content/blog)

Connect

  1. In Indexly, open Integrations → AWS Amplify and click Connect.
  2. Authorize your Git provider and select the repository backing your Amplify app.
  3. Set the branch (e.g. main), the content path, and the file format (Markdown or MDX).
  4. Choose the delivery mode: pull request (review before merge) or direct commit.
  5. In the Amplify console, go to App settings → Build settings → Incoming webhooks, create a webhook, and copy the URL.
  6. Paste that URL into Indexly as the build hook so a deploy is triggered after each publish, then save.

Front-matter

Indexly writes front-matter your site generator can consume. Map these keys to whatever your template expects:

---
title: "From SEO to GEO: The AI-Powered Search Revolution"
slug: "seo-to-geo"
description: "Why citations are the new rankings."
date: "2026-07-14"
image: "/images/seo-to-geo.png"
tags: ["GEO", "AI Search"]
---

Keep AI crawlers unblocked

Amplify sites often sit behind custom headers or redirects. Make sure your robots.txt allows the AI crawlers you care about — publishing content that can't be fetched won't earn citations. Run an AI Readiness Audit after your first deploy to confirm.

Troubleshooting

  • Commit succeeds but the site doesn't change — the build hook wasn't called, or Amplify is building a different branch. Check the Amplify build history.
  • Build fails after publish — front-matter keys don't match what your generator expects. Adjust the field mapping in Indexly.
  • Permission denied on push — the Git authorization lacks write access, or the branch is protected. Use pull-request mode instead.
