Welcome aboard! Happy to see you around! 👋

If you’re new to Advanced Web Ranking, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to get familiar with all the features, ensuring you get the most out of the application!

So, you’ve just registered for your trial account!

It’s time to enter the Add new project wizard and set up your tracking campaign by adding the project’s details:

URL- This will be the main tracked client domain or targeted page. Adding the domain URL (e.g., "website.tld") instructs the application to report the rankings for any page of the selected domain if found in the SERPs retrieved from the selected search engines.

Name - By default, the selected domain becomes the name of your project. However, if you prefer a different name, you can type it in the Name field either when you add the project, or later from your project settings.

Country - The country selection impacts the default market for collecting the search metrics from Google Ads (Searches, CPC, and Competition in the Ranking> Search Engines Comparison report) and predefined search engine selection.

Results page depth - The number of pages downloaded from the search engines when performing the ranking updates. Depending on your reporting needs, you can select 1 page for tracking the first 10 search results per keyword, 2 pages for the first 20 results, 3 pages for the first 30 results, 5 pages for the first 50 results, or 10 pages for the first 100 results.

Update frequency - AWR can perform both scheduled and manual updates (on-demands), allowing you to choose how often you can see fresh rankings:

Receive email updates - If you want to be up-to-date with your projects’ performance, you can opt to receive email updates containing the latest rankings stats, according to your preferred set frequency.

Difficulty Updates - You can choose to run keyword difficulty updates alongside your ranking updates on a weekly, monthly, or one-time basis. These updates offer valuable insights for identifying low-competition keywords, allowing you to optimize and improve their visibility on the first page.

Keywords - This is as simple as it seems! Paste or type in - one per row - your client’s targeted set of terms, we’ll do the counting for you!

We'll even try to help you with a few keyword suggestions! 😏 Or, if you already have the keyword set ready, simply Import it. CSV is the supported file format, and both keywords and groups can be uploaded to the project. Plus, you can also easily import keywords from another AWR project or directly from Google Search Console.

Location and search engines - Any search engine/market/location/results type you can think of, we can track it down for you! 👍 There are countless tracking customization facilities. Here are just a few:

Don’t know what SERPs are? You can always check our guide.

​

Competitors. Don't worry, a little research and market observing never hurt anyone! 😄

You can monitor up to 50 competitors per project without any additionally consumed units.

Type in the list of competitor domains or specific URLs or use the ones suggested for your main tracked website.

Done? Click on the Add Project button and wait for your first update.

The rankings are not instantly delivered because we are sending real keyword queries to the search engines you have defined. We don't display the ranking positions from databases or from a third-party application.

So, this is it for the project creation. Don’t forget to check our Help Center or the Video tutorials in the Resources section located in the upper right corner of your AWR account.
