Summary:

When you get a new client you are going to want to add them to SEOMonitor. This will typically take place after you create your initial keyword list

Difficulty/Time: 20 Min

Contacts: podleads


This is a pretty straightforward task. The first thing you are going to want to do is to make sure that your keyword list is the way you want it and that your client is already set up with Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google Tag Manager.

  1. Log into SEOMonitor from the SEO@ Profile
    1. https://app.seomonitor.com
    2. If you do not have a username set up yet reach out to your Pod Lead and they will help you get set up with one.
  2. From the Dashboard, click on where it says Add a Website










You will then be taken to a form that will allow you to fill out more information

  1. For company select “DS” for Dealer Spike
  2. For the website put in the website’s URL
    1. Yes to Tracking Subdomains as well
  3. For the Brand name, you are going to put in the name of the dealership and common variations of it.
    1. E.g. For Dealer Spike, we would type in Dealer Spike, Dealerspike, DS, Dealers Pike, D-Spike, The Spike, and whatever other variations on the brand that people use to find dealer spike.
  4. Time Zone should be American Los Angeles
  5. For google search engine you will want to adjust that to be Google.com(US) and not Google.com(Global) unless they are in Canada, then you can use Google.ca(EN) for English speaking or Google.ca(FR) for those who speak French
  6. You will then want to click the checkbox next to City level localized search
    1. You can set this up for City, State or just State for the US or City, Province or just Province for Canada


  1. Then click next step>
  2. Next, you will connect the client to Google Analytics and Google Search Console




  3. Next, you will pick a couple of competitors for them to compare ranks with. You will be able to add more later. 



  4. On the next page is where you will add you Keyword lists. You will want to copy your keyword list from your client sheet and paste it into the middle text box and click next.
    1. You will need to track at least 20 keywords

  5. When you click next it will finish the rest of it for you and then you should be able to see the client in the list of clients. It may take SEOMonitor some time to collect all the data from GSC and GA.
  6. The last step in the account setup is to set yourself as the account manager for your account. To do this, you will navigate to the Campaign Settings by clicking on your profile icon at the to-right of the screen and clicking the first Dealerspike under Companies: 
    Once on the Campaign Settings screen, you will search for your client's URL, then click on the Account Manager, where you can set yourself as the account manager:Hit save, and you're done!
