+# Vercel Deployment Setup Guide
+
+## 🔧 **Required GitHub Secrets**
+
+To enable Vercel deployment, you need to add these secrets to your GitHub repository:
+
+### 1. **VERCEL_TOKEN**
+- Go to [Vercel Dashboard](https://vercel.com/account/tokens)
+- Create a new token with appropriate permissions
+- Copy the token value
+
+### 2. **VERCEL_ORG_ID**
+- Go to [Vercel Dashboard](https://vercel.com/account)
+- Copy your Organization ID from the URL or settings
+
+### 3. **VERCEL_PROJECT_ID**
+- Go to your project in Vercel Dashboard
+- Copy the Project ID from the project settings
+
+## 📋 **How to Add Secrets to GitHub**
+
+1. Go to your GitHub repository
+2. Click **Settings** → **Secrets and variables** → **Actions**
+3. Click **New repository secret**
+4. Add each secret:
+   - Name: `VERCEL_TOKEN`, Value: `[your-vercel-token]`
+   - Name: `VERCEL_ORG_ID`, Value: `[your-org-id]`
+   - Name: `VERCEL_PROJECT_ID`, Value: `[your-project-id]`
+
+## 🚀 **Expected Results**
+
+Once secrets are configured:
+- ✅ Vercel deployments will work automatically
+- ✅ GitHub will show deployment stats and counts
+- ✅ Site will be deployed to: `https://prepguides-dev.vercel.app`
+- ✅ Preview deployments will work for PRs
+
+## 🔍 **Troubleshooting**
+
+If deployments still fail:
+1. Verify all three secrets are correctly set
+2. Check Vercel token permissions
+3. Ensure project exists in Vercel dashboard
+4. Check GitHub Actions logs for specific error messages
