# Quick start > Create an account, connect Google Search Console, add a project and import your first keywords. Page: https://serplyze.com/docs/quick-start Serplyze tracks keyword positions with the data Google Search Console already holds for your site. Setting up takes five steps: connect Search Console, choose a property, set the market and brand, check your keyword limit, and import keywords. You need a Google account that can see the site in Search Console. A property that is listed as unverified for your account cannot be tracked. ## 1. Create an account 1. Open the sign-up page and choose **Sign up with Google**, or fill in **Full name**, **Work email** and **Password** and press **Create account**. 2. If you signed up with email, open the verification email and follow its link. You cannot sign in before the address is verified. 3. After signing in you land in the project setup. If you signed up from an invitation, you join the workspace that invited you. ## 2. Connect Search Console 1. On **Connect Search Console**, press **Connect with Google** and pick the Google account that has the site. 2. On Google's consent screen, tick the Search Console permission. Without it the setup returns with a message asking you to connect again. 3. Back in Serplyze the step shows the connected account. **Use another account** connects a different one. The access is read-only. What is requested and how to remove it is described in [Google access](https://serplyze.com/docs/google-access.md). ## 3. Choose a property **Choose a property** lists every Search Console property of the connected account with its type (**Domain** or **URL prefix**) and your permission level. Tick the site to track and continue. One property becomes one project. Ticking several properties switches to the multi-site setup, which is described in [Projects and workspaces](https://serplyze.com/docs/projects.md). ## 4. Set market and brand - **Country**: leave **All countries**, or pick one country. With a country set, all Search Console data of the project is filtered to that country. - **Report language**: the main language of the site. - **Brand terms**: the words people use for your brand. Serplyze suggests terms from your domain. Queries containing a brand term count as branded. Continuing from this step creates the project. All three settings can be changed later under **Settings → Project**. ## 5. Check your keyword limit The Free plan tracks 100 keywords with no time limit. The step shows a slider with the price of larger volumes; you can stay on Free and continue. On a paid workspace the step shows how much of the workspace's keyword limit is left, because the limit is shared by all projects. ## 6. Import keywords **Import keywords** has three sources: - **From Search Console**: your queries of the last 28 days with at least 10 impressions, most impressions first. The **Queries to import** slider sets how many to take from the top of that list (100 are preselected when available). **Advanced** changes the impressions minimum and lets you tick single queries. - **Paste a list**: one keyword per line. - **Upload CSV**: a file with a keyword column and an optional group column. Then choose how keywords are grouped: **Group by URL folder** (one group per section of your site, from the pages that rank), **Group by topic with AI**, or no groups. Press **Import and open the dashboard**. > **Plan:** **Group by topic with AI** needs a plan that includes AI grouping. See [pricing](https://serplyze.com/pricing). > **Note:** You can track a keyword Search Console has no data for yet. It shows **N/A** and is checked again every day. ## What the first sync does The first sync starts right after the import and shows its progress on the rank tracker. It loads two things: - Site totals (clicks, impressions, CTR and position for the whole property, by device) for as far back as Search Console holds them, up to 16 months. - Daily data for each tracked keyword for the last 30 days. If your plan includes more keyword history than that, the older days load afterwards in the background and a **Loading older keyword history** note shows until they are complete. Owners and admins get an email when the first sync is done, unless they turned it off. > **Note:** Leaving the setup part-way with **Save and finish later** keeps the unfinished project for one day. After that it is removed and you start again. ## Where to look first - The **rank tracker** of the project: visibility, clicks, impressions, CTR and average position for the selected group, the keywords table, and the groups in the sidebar. - **Add keywords** in the rank tracker header when you want to track more. See [Keywords](https://serplyze.com/docs/keywords.md). - The **Alerts** page and the bell in the header. Alerts start with the days that become final after your first sync; the imported history never raises any. See [Alerts](https://serplyze.com/docs/alerts.md). ## Read next - [How the data works](https://serplyze.com/docs/how-the-data-works.md): Where the numbers come from, what average position means, how fresh the data is and how much history you get. - [Google access](https://serplyze.com/docs/google-access.md): Which Google permission Serplyze asks for, what it can and cannot do with it, and how to reconnect or revoke it. - [Keywords](https://serplyze.com/docs/keywords.md): Add keywords from Search Console, a pasted list or a CSV file, understand the keyword limit, and work with the rank tracker table. - [Projects and workspaces](https://serplyze.com/docs/projects.md): How projects map to Search Console properties, the settings of a project, adding several sites at once, and deleting a project.
