How to Include Subdomains

When you add a domain to AccuRanker, you can choose whether to include its subdomains. There is no single correct setting, as your choice depends on how your website is structured.

How to Change the Include Subdomains Setting

You can configure Include subdomains when adding a new domain.

For an existing domain, you can change the setting later:

1. Open the domain you want to update.
2. Go to the Settings tab.
3. Select Ranking settings.
4. Switch the Include subdomains toggle.

When Should You Include Subdomains?

Enable Include subdomains when you want AccuRanker to include pages from your subdomains when tracking rankings for the main domain.

For example, suppose you track example.com, and your blog is located at blog.example.com. If you want rankings for both the main website and the blog to be included under example.com, we recommend enabling subdomains.

When Should You Track a Subdomain Separately?

You may want to exclude subdomains when a subdomain represents an area of your website that you want to monitor separately. For example, if your help center is located at help.example.com, you can add the subdomain separately in AccuRanker. This allows you to track its rankings independently from example.com.
