Campaign Manager

Use these two buttons, just above the campaign manager inputs, to add a new campaign or to remove the current campaign. These are only displayed for Solo, Professional, and Agency accont levels.

Campaign Name: The name of this particular campaign. This is also used in the Campaign select box at the top left-hand side of the toolset, directly to the left of the page title.

Campaign Domain Name: The name of the domain associated with this campaign. Adding a domain here is a good idea so that it is also used in the Competitor Backlink Metrics report, which allows you to compare key link building metrics of your campaign's domain name against your competitors on a weekly basis.

Campaign Priority: The Prospecting Priority of this campaign. A higher priority indicates that we will allocate more of your link prospecting to this campaign. Setting a priority of "0" will still run the Competitor Backlink Metrics report and the SERP Dominator, but we will not do prospecting for it until it is set to a value greater than zero.

Notes: The Priority input is not used by Solo users and is, therefore, not displayed.

Here, you will see the various completion settings for this particular link building campaign. It allows you to quickly assess where things are incomplete and what else is left to be done. Different parts are shown based on your account level.

The Your Account section displays the overall completion and account settings, whereas the This Campaign section displays completion details of this particular campaign. To change campaigns, select a new one from the select box in the top right-hand side of the toolset, directly to the right of the page title.

Finally, the Help & Documentation has links to various, high-level help sections.

Topics/Prospecting Phrases: The most important part of the link prospecting. Please spend some time setting this up carefully. This is where you customize the Ontolo Toolset so that we can find the best, most relevant link prospects for you. To learn the best way to setup this section, view the help documentation on Setting Up Your Prospecting Phrases.

Custom Tags: When reviewing your prospects, you may assign tags to help better organize your link prospects and workflow. This is where you manage those custom tags.

Top SEO Keywords: Here, add your top SEO keywords. These keywords factor slightly into your link prospect searches so that link prospects which will have the highest impact on your rankings are lifted to the top of your results. Top SEO Keywords are also used in the SERP Dominator, so be sure to add 25 keywords here to get the most out of this part of the tools.

Competitor Domains: These are used for the Competitor Backlink Metrics report which monitors key link building metrics on a weekly basis for your Campaign Domain Name as well as all of your competitors. It is also used in exports for the Instant Prospector and as a metric for searching your Nightly Prospect DB. Be sure to complete this fully with all 25 competitors.
