How to Set Up Your First Project in DotSuite

A step-by-step guide to adding your domain, selecting target countries, and launching your first SEO dashboard.

Overview

After completing your sign-up and payment process, DotSuite will guide you to create your first project.

Your project is the core of your SEO workspace — this is where your dashboards, keyword insights, competitor tracking, and all analytics begin.

This guide explains exactly how to set up your project correctly.

Step 1 — Start Your First Project Setup

Immediately after successful payment, you will be redirected to the Create Your Project screen.

What you see depends on your plan:

✅ Startup Plan / Business Plan

• You can create 1 project.
• This must be your primary domain.
• Project domain cannot be changed later.

🏢 Agency Plan

• You can create your first project here.
• Your plan includes up to 10 total projects.
• Remaining 9 projects can be created anytime through:

👉 Dashboard → Settings → Projects

Step 2 — Enter Your Website Details

On the Project Creation screen, you will be prompted to enter:

1. Your Website URL

• Enter your domain correctly (example: https://example.com).
• ✔ Important: You cannot change this later, because your dashboard, keywords, rankings, and competitor analysis are tied to this domain.

2. Primary Target Country

Choose the main country where you want to analyze SEO performance.

Example:

• United States
• India
• United Kingdom
• Australia
• Canada

(and many more…)

3. Primary Language

Select the primary language in which your audience searches.

This helps generate accurate ranking data and keyword insights.

Step 3 — (Optional) Add More Countries & Languages

After creating your project:

• You can add up to 4 additional target country/language variations.
• Each variation generates its own dedicated SEO dashboard for that location.
• This is ideal for:
  • Multi-market websites
  • eCommerce stores operating in different regions
  • SaaS tools targeting global audiences

You can add these additional dashboards inside as shown below:

👉 My Dashboard → + icon from menu → Target Countries/Languages

Step 4 — Create the Project

Once all fields are filled:

• Click Create Project (or the equivalent action button).
• The system will process your data.
• You will be redirected to your Project Dashboard.

Step 5 — Explore Your Brand-New Dashboard

Once your project is created, you will land on an insights-rich dashboard showing:

• Keyword rankings
• Page-level performance
• Competitor suggestions
• Opportunity insights
• Trends
• Traffic potential
• And more…

Your full SEO workspace is now active.

Important Notes

• ✔ The domain cannot be changed later — ensure it is correct.
• ✔ The number of projects allowed depends on your plan.
• ✔ Additional country/language dashboards are optional but recommended for multi-region websites.
• ✔ You can edit other project details anytime from Settings.
