Guide overview
Users want to understand how SEO alerts help prevent unnoticed performance loss.
Purpose
Alerts help teams notice meaningful events without manually checking every report. They can surface website down signals, audit failures, ranking movement, SSL or technical changes, and other project risks.
Ranking Impact
Alerts protect response time. Fast detection of outages, indexing blockers, broken templates, or ranking drops can reduce the damage caused by technical and content problems.
How To Use It
- Create or select a project.
- Review alert events in the dashboard.
- Open the related audit, ranking, or monitoring module.
- Resolve the issue and continue monitoring future events.
Key Metrics
- Alert severity
- Alert type
- Created date
- Affected project
- Related audit or ranking event

Comparison

Use Cases

- Audit failure response
