Settings › Site details holds your site's name, its language and Search market, where new articles go and when each day's change goes live. The language and search market matter most: every search number, every page-one result and every AI answer CitedSEO reads for your site is measured in that one country and language. They don't limit who can read your site.

When you add your site, CitedSEO reads it and fills these in. Change anything that's off, then press Save changes.

Settings › Site details: the site's name, address, language, search market, where articles go, publish time and timezone

The fields

FieldWhat it does
NameHow your site is named in reports and emails. With no author, it's also your articles' byline.
AddressYour site's address. It can't be changed here.
LanguageNew articles are written in it, and it's half of your search market.
Search marketThe country searches and AI answers are checked in.
Where articles goThe path new articles publish under: blog puts them at your address, then /blog/, then the article's name.
Publish timeOne article or update goes live each day at this time. It starts at 2:00 am.
TimezonePublish times and dates you pick are in this timezone. It's taken from your browser when you add the site.

Why one search market

Google's results and AI assistants' answers differ from country to country, so CitedSEO asks them as someone in one place would. There's no Worldwide choice: a worldwide page one or AI answer doesn't exist, and numbers mixed from several countries wouldn't match the results beside them.

So pick the country most of your readers are in. If your readers are everywhere, still pick where most of them are. When nothing on your site says where it's for, CitedSEO starts with the United States.

The search market and language are named together wherever numbers are shown: Keywords says "Numbers are for searches in United States, English", and AI visibility says "Asked in United States, English".

When you change it

Nothing is read again straight away. CitedSEO's next weekly keyword research and next weekly AI check use the new market, and from then on:

  • Keywords marks a keyword group last read in another market, for example "From Australia, English", until it's read again in the new one. A search from the Keywords search box reads in the new market at once.
  • AI visibility and your reports compare only the AI checks asked in the latest market. Earlier checks are kept, but not shown.

Numbers from one market are never shown as another's.

Where articles go

Where articles go is the path under your site's address that new articles publish under. Leave it empty to publish at the top level. It decides each new article's address on your feed and in your own code. On WordPress, WordPress decides each post's address. Articles already live keep their address when you change it.

Pause or remove the site

Owners and admins also see Pause or remove at the bottom (just Remove when no plan or trial is running). See What you pay per site.
