🧭 Getting Started Steps
Follow these steps to configure and launch your first Share of Search projet:
1. Enter your Website URL and Brand Name
Domain:
Start by select the URL type of your website, domain or subdomain (e.g., nike.com).
URLs supported:
Currently, the Search module manage two types of URLs: the root domain (mysite.com) and subdomains (www.mysite.com).
Other formats, like subdirectories (www.mysite.com/file1/....), are not supported by the solution.
Domain / Subdomain tracking:
Case 1: If a root domain is provided (mysite.com), the tool collects all positions of any subdomains it finds, such as blog.mysite.com, contact.mysite.com, etc.
Case 2: If a subdomain is provided (www.mysite.com), the tool only collects positions for the specified subdomain.
Brand: Add your brand name. This allows the engine to recognize and track all brand mentions in responses.
