AWR Share Link Functionality Explained

Learn how to set up share links to effortlessly share performance stats with your clients or coworkers.

Keeping everyone up to date with the evolution of your projects has never been so easy! Whether you want to streamline your client reporting flow or skyrocket your team’s productivity, AWR’s share link functionality is here to make it happen.

How does it work?

A project’s ranking data can be shared with clients or coworkers via a unique permalink.

The share link feature gives them read-only access to the HTML SERP files retrieved from the search engines being monitored and to the selected sections or reports of a project without having to join AWR. They can also generate PDF, CSV, and XLSX reports from the shared sections.

The share link function provides fresh ranking data on the same URL every time a project is updated, as long as the permalink created for that project is not reset.

To create a permalink, go to the Projects page or to one of the UI reports (e.g. Ranking > Keywords) and click the Share button.
