Start tracking keywords: create a keyword project

A keyword project tracks the Google positions of one website. Each client website gets its own project.

Steps

Open Keyword tracking and click Add project (or go straight to New project).
Site: pick the Client (or No client yet; see Add a client) and enter the Website, domain only, for example yourclient.com. Click Continue.
Engines and locations:
- Device: Desktop, Mobile or Both. Google ranks mobile and desktop results separately.
- Locations: pick a country or city, or type one in Add a city or country and click Add. Each keyword is checked in every location.
- Click Continue.
Keywords: enter one keyword per line. You can put them all in a Group (optional), or write “keyword | group” to set a group per keyword. Click Continue.
Competitors: add up to 5 Competitor websites (optional).
Check the Summary and click Create project.

The first check starts at once and usually takes 2 to 5 minutes. See Why there is no position yet.

Limits depend on your plan. See the current limits on the pricing page and in Plans and prices. Trial limits are in How the 14-day free trial works.

Each keyword in each location and on each device counts as one tracked keyword. See Locations and devices. Extra locations and keywords are set in Billing & plan; see Daily updates and extra keyword pricing.

“This site already has a project.” Open the project from Keyword tracking and add keywords there.
“Your plan tracks N websites.” You reached the website limit of your plan. Change it in Billing & plan.
“Your plan tracks 1 location” Add locations in Billing & plan, or remove locations from the project.
