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

  1. Create or select a project.
  2. Review alert events in the dashboard.
  3. Open the related audit, ranking, or monitoring module.
  4. Resolve the issue and continue monitoring future events.

FAQ

Are all alerts urgent?

No. Severity should guide priority. Critical alerts need faster response than low-risk notices.

Can alerts replace audits?
