Adding a website does two things at once: it registers the domain you want to track, and it triggers the crawl that gives Videntic the context it needs to analyze you well. ## Before you start You need: * The full domain URL (e.g. `https://www.example.com`). * The ability to publish a meta tag or upload a file to the site's root — usually a CMS admin login or access to the host. * A couple of minutes. Each plan allows a different number of tracked websites. See [Plans & billing](/billing/plans) for the limits, and [Manage competitors](/how-to/manage-competitors) for how competitor domains differ from tracked websites. ## Add the domain Click **Add website** on the dashboard home. Paste the full URL of the site you want to track. Include `https://` and the `www.` prefix if that's the canonical version. Add a few target keywords that describe your category and pick the country and language you sell in. These tune the queries Videntic simulates. You can edit them later. Videntic creates the website record and takes you to the verification screen. ## Verify ownership To prevent anyone from tracking a site they don't own, Videntic requires proof before any data is collected. Pick one of two verification methods: ### Method 1: Meta tag Copy the one-line `` tag shown in the app and paste it inside the `` of your homepage. Save and publish the page, then click **Verify**. **Your task:** make sure the meta tag is reachable at `https://yourdomain.com/` before clicking Verify. If your homepage is a CDN-cached static page, you may need to purge the cache first. ### Method 2: File upload Download the small verification file shown in the app and upload it to the root of your site so it's reachable at `https://yourdomain.com/`. Click **Verify**. Verification usually succeeds in seconds. If it fails, the most common causes are: a trailing redirect (e.g. `example.com` → `www.example.com`), the tag being placed in the `` instead of the ``, or a CDN cache serving the old HTML. See [Common issues](/troubleshooting/common-issues) for fixes. ## What happens after verification Once ownership is confirmed, Videntic starts an **initial crawl** of your site. This is not the same as running an analysis — it's how the platform learns what you publish, so later analyses and Sira answers are grounded in your actual content. The crawl: * Visits every reachable page starting from your homepage. * Extracts readable content (titles, body copy, structured data). * Builds an internal content index used for context and GEO‑16 scoring. Crawls typically complete in **2–5 minutes** for small-to-medium sites. Very large sites may take longer; Videntic will tell you when it's done. Videntic respects `robots.txt`. Pages you exclude from search engines are also excluded from the crawl. ## Remove or replace a website You can remove a website from **Settings → Websites**. Removing a website deletes its analysis history, GEO audit results, and competitor associations — there's no undo, so be sure before you confirm. If you're migrating domains (say, `old.com` → `new.com`) it's usually better to add the new domain, verify it, and run a fresh analysis than to try to carry state across. ## What's next?
