Domain Management Section

  • In domain management, the user can add their “production” website marked as “Live site” in the “Domain type” option.
  • Then for adding the staging website, the user needs to add the staging domain through domain management and mark it as “Staging site” in the “Domain type” option. While adding a staging website, the user also needs to select the production website against which it has to be compared.
  • If the staging website has protected access through HTTP Basic Authentication, while adding their staging website domain, the user can also add the username and password to access the website.
  • While adding the staging website, if the staging website has protected access through IP based access restriction, the user should select the Crawler IP address type as Static IP and it will show the IP address of the Elite Site Optimizer web crawler. Then the user needs to add the IP address to the server firewall’s whitelist and also allow in the robots.txt of their staging website.
  • The user can also set up competitors for their domain to track their performance on ranking, On-page analysis, and Backlink count.
  • The user can add a maximum of 5 competitors for a domain depending upon the plan selected.
  • There is an option “Use Default Settings in the Add New Domain section. Checking the option will create the below settings while creating the domain.
    • Add a default campaign named "My First Campaign" and default section named "home section" with domain's home page URL. 
    • The campaign will be created by taking the top 50 keywords for the domain based on the search volume and rank. 
    • The search engine and location for the campaign will be set as default search engine [Google], default location [US - New York, New York City].
