Sites are added in the dashboard. Open Add a site, paste the address, pick the country, and paste or choose the keywords. Tracking starts on the next scheduler pass, and the first results are there the following morning.
The address
Paste the address you want people to reach, including https://. If your site answers on both example.com and www.example.com, use the one that the other redirects to. If neither redirects to the other, that is itself a finding and the audit will raise it, because two addresses serving the same site split every signal between them.
A trailing slash makes no difference. SolSEO normalises it and treats the two forms as one page.
The country
One country per site, on every plan, chosen per site rather than per account. Pick the country your customers are in rather than the one you are sitting in: an Australian agency running a client's New Zealand store should set that site to New Zealand.
The country decides which result page is asked for, and it is the single largest influence on the positions you will see. An extra country for the same site is a flat monthly add-on rather than a second site, so the keywords, the crawl and the history stay together.
The keywords
Paste them one per line. There is no format to learn and duplicates are collapsed.
Start with the phrases you would type if you were the customer, not the phrases you would use internally. Ten good ones beat two hundred guesses, and the free plan's limit of ten is enough to find out whether the ones you care about are anywhere near the first page.
You can add, remove and pause keywords at any time. A keyword removed keeps its history; a keyword added starts from the next check.
Search Console, if you have it
Connecting Google Search Console takes one approval and no DNS change if the property already exists on your account. It is worth doing on the first day, because it brings two things a rank tracker cannot know on its own: the impressions and clicks each query actually earned, and whether Google has indexed a page at all.
Impressions beside positions is what turns a list of numbers into a decision. Position 6 on a phrase with 20 impressions a month is worth less than position 14 on one with 4,000.
The WordPress plugin is optional
The plugin is a companion. It adds data and views inside wp-admin, and it is never needed to track a site. SolSEO tracks any site on any platform, and the crawler reads a site the same way a search engine does: from outside, over the public address.
Pairing the plugin on a WordPress site adds your tracked positions in the post editor, the site health list in wp-admin, and fixes that close a finding against the real page. See how pairing works.

What you get the next morning
The morning after the first pass, the site has an overview: one line saying which way it is going, four cards (average position, up and down, how many keywords are on page 1, the audit score), the keyword table, and what changed in the last 7 days with a sentence for each.
The first crawl runs on its own schedule. If you want one immediately, Crawl now is on the site page, within your plan's weekly allowance.
How many sites
One on Free and Starter, five on Growth, fifteen on Agency, unlimited on Studio. Adding a site never moves keywords between sites: the keyword allowance is per account and you decide how it is spread.
