This article explains how to create your first Project, discover keywords, run a Site Audit, and track SEO progress inside Ubersuggest. Each section includes links to detailed step-by-step guides for deeper assistance.

Step 1: Add Your Website as a Project

The first step is to add your website as a Project. This activates your dashboard and allows Ubersuggest to begin tracking your keyword rankings, competitors, and overall SEO performance.

  1. Click Add a Project on your dashboard.

  2. Enter your website URL.

  3. Choose your language and location.

  4. Add the keywords you want to track on Google.

  5. Select competitor websites you want to compare against.

Once configured, Ubersuggest will automatically:

  • Track keyword rankings over time

  • Compare your performance against competitors

  • Run recurring technical SEO audits

  3. Review search volume, SEO difficulty, search intent, and trends.
