+Use this guide when you are creating a new managed certificate and want to understand the full request, deployment, and renewal flow.
+
 When you install Certify you will be prompted to register with the [Certificate Authority](guides/certificate-authorities.md) who will validate your domains and issue your [certificates](guides/certificates.md) (e.g. Let's Encrypt). You should provide a real email address, otherwise they can't contact you if there is a problem with your certificate.

-title: Certify DNS
+title: Get Started with Certify DNS
+description: Use Certify DNS for delegated DNS challenge handling when direct DNS automation is unavailable, and understand setup, troubleshooting, and security tradeoffs.

-# Certify DNS
+# Get Started with Certify DNS
 
 *Certify DNS* is an optional service used to answer DNS challenges when your domains normal DNS provider isn't supported for automation. It can be used with any *acme-dns* compatible ACME client. **The service requires a separately purchased *Certify DNS* license and is not bundled with *Certify Certificate Manager***.
 
+## Best Fit
+
+- Your DNS provider does not have an API you can automate.
+- You need wildcard or DNS-based validation but cannot store primary DNS credentials on every client.
+- You want one-time CNAME delegation followed by automated renewals.
+
+## Quick Setup
+
+1. Purchase and activate a *Certify DNS* license.
+2. Configure *Certify DNS* credentials in the client that will request certificates.
+3. Complete the first request so the service can register each domain.
+4. Create the prompted CNAME record in your normal DNS zone.
+5. Re-run the request so the certificate authority can follow the delegated challenge.
+
 - The service is a cloud hosted version of the [acme-dns](https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns) protocol and uses CNAME delegation of acme challenge TXT records to a dedicated challenge response service.
 - You can purchase a *Certify DNS* license**, via the https://certifytheweb.com License Keys tab (when signed in). It is not included in other product licenses from us you may already have, e.g. other products like *Certify Certificate Manager* **do not** include a license for *Certify DNS*.
 - *Certify DNS* is not required in order to use the Certify Certificate Manager app, it's only required if you specifically want to use DNS challenges and can't use standard DNS automation.
