All TrueRanker projects have settings that allow you to customize how data is tracked, displayed, and shared. Below we explain all the settings you can configure within a project.
Accessing the Configuration Page #
You can access this page by entering any project and clicking on Settings in the left-hand sidebar menu.
1. Project Settings (General) #
This panel controls the core configuration of your tracking.
- Name: You can rename your project at any time (e.g., “Client X – SEO Campaign”).
- Project ID & Type: These fields are informative (read-only) and indicate the unique ID of the project and whether it is a Domain, Subdomain, or Folder.
- URL: The specific website address that TrueRanker is tracking.
- Tracking Interval & Depth: Here you can define how often and how deep we crawl. (e.g., “Top 20 every day” for daily checks, or deeper crawls like “Top 100 every 7 days”).
- Display Grouped Project Data: Choose how you want historical data to be visually grouped in your charts (Automatic, Daily, Weekly, etc.).
- Google My Business (GMB) Name: Crucial for Local SEO. Enter the exact name of your business as it appears in your Google Business Profile. This allows TrueRanker to detect if you appear in the “Local Pack” (the map results) even if you are not in the standard organic results.
- Brand of your Project: Enter your brand name here to monitor your AI Visibility. We use this to detect if your brand is being cited or recommended in AI Overviews (SGE) and other LLM-based results.
2. Public Project (White Label) #
If you share reports with clients, this section allows you to customize their experience.
- Company Logo: Upload your agency’s or your client’s logo. This replaces the TrueRanker logo in shared reports and emails, giving a fully white-labeled experience.
- Visible Columns: Check or uncheck the metrics you want to display. If you want to simplify the report for a client (e.g., hiding “CPC” or “Competition”), simply uncheck those boxes here.
3. Project Changes Email #
Configure automated email reporting so you (or your clients) stay updated without logging in.
- Frequency: Select how often you want to receive the ranking report (Every day, Every 3 days, Weekly, Monthly, or Never).
- Recipients: Enter the email addresses that should receive the report (separated by commas).
- Send to Account Email: Quickly check this box to send a copy to your main registered email address.
4. Connect to Google Search Console (GSC) #
Link your project to Google’s official data.
- Connect/Disconnect: Use this button to authorize TrueRanker to access your GSC data.
- Property Selection: Once connected, select the specific GSC property that matches this project. This allows us to import “Average Position” and “Impressions” data directly from Google into your TrueRanker dashboard for better accuracy.
💡 Pro Tip: Smart Saving We have added Update buttons at the bottom of each panel for your convenience. Clicking any of these buttons will save all changes made across the entire page. You don’t need to scroll to the very bottom to save a change made at the top!
