Manage Competitors
Choose the domains used for ranking comparisons for one market and search engine. Open Manage Keywords in the correct workspace and select the Competitors tab.
The available domains come from search results for the website's tracked keywords. A domain can compete for search visibility without being a direct business rival, so choose comparisons that are useful to you.
Choose the market and engine
- Select a Market. If there is only one in the current website view, Wheremore selects it automatically.
- Select a Search engine enabled for that market. If it has only one engine, Wheremore selects that engine automatically.
- Wait for Selected and Available to load.
The page's Website selector limits the markets shown. With All websites selected, a website name appears beside each market name. Competitor choices are stored separately for every market and engine.
Understand the lists
Selected shows the domains currently chosen in this view, with a count out of 10. Available shows domains found in recent organic ranking results, ordered by how many tracked keywords they share with the website. The count describes overlap in search results; it does not measure how directly a domain competes with your business.
The available list uses the latest eligible ranking observations for each keyword within the last 30 days. It includes organic results within the top 50 positions and shows up to 500 candidate domains. A new market may have no candidates until its first checks complete. New search results can change the candidates shown when you return to the tab.
Saved competitors remain in Selected even when they no longer appear in recent results. They continue to count towards the limit of 10 until you remove them and save.
Add, remove or clear competitors
- Select the plus icon beside a domain in Available to move it into Selected. Choose up to 10.
- To remove one, select the × on its chip in Selected. It moves back to Available.
- Select Save competitors. A success message confirms the market whose selection was saved.
Wait for both lists to load successfully before editing or saving. While a save is in progress, adding, removing and saving competitors are temporarily disabled.
The changes take effect when you save. To clear all selected competitors for this market and engine, remove every chip and select Save competitors. A change here does not alter another engine or market, add keywords, or change the tracked website's own rankings.
Saved selections can be used by relevant ranking charts and analysis, but a comparison still needs matching ranking data for the chosen market, engine, filters and period.
If something does not look right
No markets or engines appear
Check the active workspace and Website selector. Add a market on the Markets tab if none exists. The engine choices appear after you select a market.
No domains are available
Confirm that ranking checks have completed for the selected market and engine, then check again after a later collection. New candidates come from eligible search results; the tab has no manual domain entry field. A saved domain you remove also returns to Available while you edit, so you can add it back before saving.
A previously selected domain is missing
First confirm the same workspace, website view, market and engine are selected and loading has completed. A domain leaving recent results does not remove it from Selected. If a saved choice is still missing, contact support before saving a replacement selection.
Competitors could not be loaded
If either list fails to load, Wheremore shows an error and keeps saving unavailable. Select the market and engine again to retry, or refresh the page. A loading failure does not clear your saved selection. Contact support if the error continues.
A domain cannot be added
Check whether Selected already contains 10 domains. Remove one and save the revised choice if you need a place for another.
