Run an analysis

  1. Open Analyses and choose new analysis.
  2. Enter your own domain and, optionally, a label to help you find it later.
  3. Choose competitors from your saved list, or type new ones in.
  4. Start the analysis.

Compass audits your site and every competitor in one run. It can take a little while, because it crawls each site and asks Google for performance data.

Status Meaning
Pending Waiting to start.
Running Being audited now.
Completed Every site was audited and scored.
Partially failed Some sites couldn’t be audited. The report says which and why, and scores the rest.
Failed None could be audited.

Each run counts toward your plan’s analyses for the month, and your plan sets how many competitors you can compare. See the plans.

Re-run an old analysis in one click. Compass checks the same domains again and picks up anything that has changed, including newly added recommendations.
