Getting started
Adding your first website
How to add a domain, verify ownership and choose the right crawl settings.
Applies to: XCL Search IntelligencePublished Updated
Adding a website takes about two minutes. Verifying that you own it takes a little longer, and it matters: unverified sites only receive the limited public-data analysis.
Add and verify a domain
Add the domain
Enter the domain without a protocol — we normalise http, https and www for you.
Choose a verification method
A DNS TXT record, an HTML file, a meta tag, or a connected Search Console property.
Set the market
Country, language and the conversions that matter, so recommendations are relevant.
Set crawl limits
Page limit, crawl rate and any paths to exclude.
Run the first scan
The initial basic scan completes in minutes. Deep analysis is queued separately.
