Organize the Sites portfolio, switch between properties, update classification, and pause or resume monitoring.

Product guide · Updated August 2026

Use the Sites portfolio

The Sites page is the account-level view. Each active card shows a click sparkline, click total and comparison, opportunity count, last update, and any status that needs attention. Connected but unactivated properties appear separately as sites ready to activate.

Search
Find a site by name or domain.
Sort
Favorites first, Name, Clicks, Growth, Growth %, Decline, Opportunities, or Freshness.
Movement
Show All, Growing, Declining, or Needs attention sites.
Tags
Filter the portfolio to one label saved in Site Settings.
Favorite
Select the star on a site card to pin it within the default order.

On desktop, use the current site selector at the top of the sidebar to jump to another activated site, or choose All sites. The sidebar can collapse to an icon rail; use its collapse button or press Command/Ctrl+B.

Use the privacy toggle in the app chrome before sharing your screen or taking a screenshot. Privacy-sensitive values such as domains, queries, page URLs, names, and emails are obscured while the toggle is active. The theme control switches between the available visual themes without affecting report data.

Pause or resume monitoring

After the site has completed its initial report setup, open Site Settings, select Pause monitoring, and confirm. Pausing stops scheduled refreshes immediately. Existing data remains available, and the site stays in the account with a Monitoring paused label. A site still preparing its first baseline cannot be paused yet.

If Google access expires, use Google accounts → Reconnect Google. If the property permission itself was removed, restore Owner, Full, or Restricted access in Search Console first, then reconnect.
