This feature allows you to provide your client with a customized online dashboard displaying our reports, under your logo. This is ideal for SEO companies and online marketing agencies that would like to give their clients the ability to be as hands-on as they like.

For customers with multiple campaigns, the single sign-on feature enables log in to their client dashboard for viewing of SEO reports and graphs for all of their campaigns in one convenient location.

If you have enabled the same Link To Profile in more than one campaign, your customer will be able to select from a list that displays their campaigns in the upper right area of the screen.

Interactive SEO Reports in Branded Client Dashboard

Your customers can interact with reports that you have enabled for them in your branded client dashboards. For example, as in the Rank Ranger user interface that you work in, when viewing the Landing Page Performance report users can click on the number in the Keywords column to reveal the keywords that ranked for the URL displayed in the Landing Page column.

This screenshot also demonstrates what your clients will see if you have disabled Report Options - they can only click on the Reports tab to display the list of reports available to them, but they can't change the options you've set as defaults for a particular report or graph.

Interactive Hover in Graphs Reveals Additional Data 

If enabled in Report Options, your clients can discover algorithm changes by hovering in graphs. Additional rank and traffic data, events, and notes can also be viewed with the interactive hover.

The top right toolbar can be used to change report & graph dates, print reports & graphs, and change the interface language if a language other than English is enabled in the Client Dashboard Campaign Settings.
