1. Tracking type  — using the tracking type, you can set the mode by which the project positions will be tracked.
There are 4 types of tracking:
- project domain only;
- whole site;
- by the exact URL;
- by URL prefix.

This setting affects the output of data on positions on all reports.
Site mirrors  — full or partial copy of the site content.
Competitors to track  — positions are saved only by the project domain by default, but if you want to track separately the positions of your competitors, you should add them to the "Competitors in top".
Tracking schedule  — the ability to configure a flexible schedule for the frequency of site tracking:
- daily;
- by weekdays;
- by month days.

  • Add phrases manually.
    If you already have a ready-made list of keywords, you can add them through a text block with line breaks or download them using the "Import" button.

Stick to the requirements when adding a keyword list manually:
- no longer than 80 characters;
- without special symbols;
- without spaces before or after a keyword;
- without duplicate keywords.

If some keywords weren't validated, you can copy them to the clipboard or delete them.

Keywords validation

  • Add suggested keywords.
    This is an opportunity to quickly add keywords relevant to the domain and search engine/country to the project. After selecting the country and the search engine in the settings, the tool will offer 1000 unique keywords for this project.

The target URL is set so that you can check which URL is displayed in the SERP and whether the actual one matches the expected one.
Tags in the project are used for simplified data filtering by keyword categories. More than one tag can be linked to one keyword.
If all the fields are filled in correctly, the service automatically sends keywords to check positions.
