## Step 6.1 - Filtering options

Continue down to 'Configure Filters' 'if you wish to add a filter to the site - you can filter the data by geographical region, search type, dimension and query.
\*Please remember that you cannot change these filter settings later without deleting the website and adding a new one.

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.


## Step 7 - Your site is ready

You will be redirected to the Launchpad, and your new site will be at the bottom of the list (if you have more than one site).
