Managing Categories

Use categories to group a website's keywords by topic, service or intent. Categories help you organise and filter keywords; they do not change a market's location, device or search engine.

Open category management

1. Select the active workspace and open Manage Keywords.
2. Choose a specific website in Website.
3. Select Manage websites & categories.

The Categories section shows categories for that website. In this section, creation and editing are unavailable with All websites selected until you choose one website. The same category name can be used independently on another website. A keyword can have more than one category.

Create a category

1. Under Categories, enter a name in Category name.
2. Select Add.

Category added. confirms that the name is available for the selected website. A duplicate name on that website is rejected.

You can also create a category while assigning one from a keyword row: select Assign category or the plus icon, enter a name under Create new, and select Add. The new category is created for that keyword's website and assigned to the keyword.

Assign and remove categories

1. Open the Keywords tab and find the keyword.
2. Select Assign category if it has none, or the plus icon beside its existing category chips.
3. Under Add existing, select a category for that website. It appears as a chip in the row.

Select the × inside a category chip to remove that assignment from one keyword. The category remains available for other keywords. When adding keywords with + Add keywords, you can select optional categories in the Add keywords panel before selecting Save keywords.

Use All categories above the keyword table to remove a category filter, or choose one category to narrow the table. The orange Uncategorised badge above the table counts visible keywords without a category; selecting that badge does not filter the table. For each such keyword, the Assign category control in its row opens the category choices.

Rename or delete a category

To rename, select its website, open Manage websites & categories, select the pencil icon beside the category, enter the new name and select Save. The new name appears on the website's assigned keywords. A category with the same name on another website is unaffected.

To delete, select the category's delete icon and confirm the prompt. Deletion removes that category's assignments from keywords on the website. It does not delete the keywords, and a keyword with another category keeps its remaining assignments.

If something does not look right

Category controls are unavailable

Select one website in Website. The management panel cannot add, rename or delete categories while All websites is selected.

A category is missing from a keyword

Check the active workspace and the keyword's website. Only categories belonging to that website can be assigned. If you removed a chip, reopen Assign category or the plus icon to add it again.

A name is rejected as a duplicate

Use the existing category for that website, or choose another name. If you enter an existing name while creating a category from a keyword row, Wheremore assigns the existing category.
