This guide will help you add a new site to your SEOTesting account.



Step 1 - Click the 'Add a New Website' button

Step 2 - Enter the site URL



Enter the website’s canonical URL (considering HTTPS and www or non-www).

Step 2.1 - Filtering options



Click the down arrow to open 'Optional Settings' if you wish to add a filter to the site.

When adding a Search Console site property to SEOTesting you can filter the data by geographical region, search type, page, and query.

The SEOTesting dashboard, reports, and rank tracking will all then be based around these filters when looking at this new site in SEOTesting.

Country filter - if you want to filter the dashboard and all reports by geographical region.
Page filter - useful when you want to add a sub-section or group of pages to SEOTesting.
Query filter - useful if you want to remove brand or non-brand traffic from a site property added to SEOTesting.

Please remember that you cannot change these filter settings later without deleting the website and adding a new one.
