What is a Domain in Searchable?

In Searchable, a domain represents a website you want to monitor and optimize for AI visibility. Each domain can track your pages, run audits, monitor AI mentions, and generate optimized content.
In the app, each domain is called a project. You’ll see “Projects” in the project dropdown and in your settings. Most users set up one project per website they manage.

​
Your First Domain

Your first domain is created for you during onboarding, so there’s nothing extra to do. If you haven’t signed up yet, start with the Quickstart.

​
Before You Start

To add another domain, make sure you have:
Your website’s domain (e.g.yourwebsite.com)
A Professional plan or higher, and an Owner, Super Admin, or Admin role in your workspace
Your brand name, and any other names or spellings it goes by
Your brand’s reach and primary location
3 of your main competitors (you can add up to 5)

​
Adding Another Domain

1

Open the project dropdown

Click your current project’s name at the top of the sidebar, then click New Project at the bottom of the dropdown.
2

Enter your domain

Choose the workspace you want to add it to, then enter the website you want to track.
You can include a path, like example.com/uk, if you only want to track part of a site.
3

Name your brand

This is how we’ll refer to your brand in prompts and reports. If your brand goes by other names or spellings, click My brand has other names or spellings to add them, so those mentions are counted too.

  • Inviting team members requires a Professional plan or higher. Seats vary by plan, see Plans & Pricing
If you don’t select any projects when sending an invite, that person gets access to every project in your workspace. Pick specific projects to limit their access.

​
Notifications

Turn on the weekly New opportunities email in All settings → Notifications to get a summary of new recommendations for your projects.

​
Common Issues & Solutions

Searchable finds your pages using your sitemap.Solutions:
  • Make sure your sitemap is up to date and publicly accessible
  • Check that your robots.txt allows crawling. Pages that block crawlers are flagged as an issue, since AI engines would be blocked the same way
Possible Causes:
  • Pages are missing from your sitemap
  • Pages were added to your sitemap after Searchable last synced it
Solutions:
  • Add missing pages to your sitemap, then re-sync it
  • Add them manually in On Page → Site Health
A project’s domain can’t be changed once it’s created. Delete the project in All settings → Projects, then add it again with the correct domain using New Project. Deleting a project permanently removes its data.
Adding projects requires a Professional plan or higher and an Owner, Super Admin, or Admin role. If you’ve reached your plan’s project limit, you’ll see an option to upgrade.
Your limits depend on your plan. Check your current usage in All settings → Usage, and see Plans & Pricing for upgrade options.For custom limits, contact support@searchable.com.
