Getting Started with your Workspace

Entering your Nozzle Workspace for the first time? Let's get you set up.

Welcome to your Nozzle Workspace!

First, let's take a quick look around.

Every time you log in to Nozzle, you'll be taken to the home screen. Here you'll be able to see a ranking summary for your project (or projects) after you've configured your keywords and brands.

Ranking data is shown on dashboards.

Click on the View Dashboards button or your project name to go to the Project Overview page, or click on the Keyword Groups, Top Brands, or Keywords links across the top of your project summary to go straight to those specific dashboards.

You can return to this home screen by clicking the Projects tab in the top navigation bar.

Click the Settings Cog next to the project name or the Manage Keywords button to go to the Keyword Manager page, where you can add/remove/modify your keywords, brands, and segments.

On the Keyword Manager page, you'll be able to create or modify a Keyword Source, or switch to the Brand and Segment tabs.

Adding Users

Click the Users button at the top of the screen. This will take you to the page where you can invite other members of your company to your Workspace.

Managing Your Account

The buttons and menu in the top right corner of the page give you the options to change the theme (we suggest the Auto mode), see your notifications, get help, and do more, like log out or view your Workspace settings, billing info, and usage statistics.

 

Now it's time to input your keywords.

For instructions on how to begin tracking your keywords in Nozzle, visit this article, where you'll find concise instructions and a tutorial video.

Basically, just click the Add Keywords & Schedules button on your home screen, then follow the steps on your keyword source page:

1. Name your keyword source
2. Paste in your phrases using the Add Phrases button
3. Select your desired devices
4. Select your desired locales
5. Set a tracking schedule.

Add keyword groups as desired.

Note: The default Basic Keywords mode is sufficient for most keyword sources; click here for information on the others.

Do I need multiple projects?

Projects are containers for separating different projects or entities. You will want multiple projects if you are an SEO agency with multiple clients whose keywords are completely separate. To learn how to create projects, see this article.

Now you're ready to start tracking brands.

You can track various aspects of your own brand, such as your social media presence, your website, and your YouTube channel. It's also smart to track your competitors' brands. Monitoring by brand, rather than just domain, makes it so much easier to keep track of your online presence and make the most of your SEO efforts.

Add your own brand.

Track your competitors' brands.

What are segments?

Segments are built-in and custom filters that allow you to switch between or compare different types or "segments" of SERP data with ease.

Create custom segments.

We've written several blog posts that will provide extra guidance in using segments as you begin tracking various SERP features. Here are a few:

• Find your top competitors
• Track local pack results
• See who owns all the featured snippets
• Monitor video rankings

You're off to a great start!
