Customise your dashboard

Arrange dashboard widgets, focus on a brand or location, and use the Getting started checklist.

Your Dashboard is your at-a-glance home, the first thing you see at /dashboard. Shape it with widgets so the numbers you care about sit right at the top, ready when you log in.

What the dashboard shows by default

A fresh dashboard opens with five widgets. At a glance runs across the top with your headline number from each tool: your Map Pack rank, how often ChatGPT and Gemini name you, and your reviews. Below it, Locations at a glance lists every location with its numbers and how they moved, beside Needs you, which has two tabs: To do, with anything urgent and the tasks worth doing next, and What changed, with the movement your tracking picked up and whether a task was added for it. At the bottom sit Rank trends and Profile results, which shows the calls, website clicks and direction requests your Google Business Profile brings in.

Until you are set up, the dashboard shows a Welcome to SearchOps checklist instead: add your business, connect your Google Business Profile, run your first geo-grid scan, pick what you want to be found for, choose your prompts, and see whether ChatGPT and Gemini name you. The full dashboard appears once your first geo-grid scan has run, and any steps left stay in the Getting started card in the sidebar. You can do the steps in any order, or select Skip this and take me to the dashboard. To bring the checklist back, use the Getting started card or Settings. For the bigger picture of how the tools fit together, see What is SearchOps?.

The widgets you can add

While customising, select Add widget to open the library, grouped into categories:

Overview: Needs you, At a glance, Locations at a glance, Credit balance, Locations, Total scans, Reviews tracked, Activity feed.
Tracking: Rank trends, Tracked keywords, Recent scans, LLM Visibility, ChatGPT visibility, Competitors.
Reviews & GBP: Reviews, Profile audit scores, Profile results.
Productivity: Action items, Upcoming schedules, Quick actions, Quick tips.

Each widget pulls live data from your account, so the moment you add one it fills with your real figures.

If you added the Visibility matrix or Google Search positions widget before the keyword rank tracker was retired, it now says so rather than showing old numbers as current. Remove it, and use Rank trends or Recent scans for your geo-grid results instead.

Focus on a brand or a location

If you track more than one location, a Showing bar sits above the widgets. Pick a brand or a single location and every widget narrows to it, from the headline to Locations at a glance and Needs you. Select Show everything to go back to all your locations. The choice is kept in the page address, so you can bookmark a focused view.

Add, remove and rearrange

Customising is quick and everything saves as you go.

On the dashboard, select Customise (top right). It appears on a computer or tablet; on a phone the dashboard shows as a single column.
Select Add widget to open the library, then choose the ones you want. Widgets already on your dashboard are marked so you do not add duplicates.
To move a widget, drag it by its header. To resize it, drag the bottom-right corner.
To remove a widget, use the remove control on its header while customising.
Select Done when you are happy. To start fresh, select Reset and confirm with Reset layout to go back to the default five widgets.

Note: Your layout is saved to the browser you are using, not to your account. If you switch to another computer or browser, you will see the default layout there and can set it up again.

Tip: Keep the widgets you check daily near the top, so your first glance answers your first question.

Arrange a location's page

Each location's own page has a Customise button too, with the same Add widget, Reset and Done controls. One arrangement applies to every location you open, so your branches stay comparable. Like the dashboard, it is saved to the browser you are using.

Pair it with your Tasks

The Needs you widget's To do tab gathers what needs action across your tools, most urgent first. Urgent items can be snoozed or hidden for a location; tasks are moved or dismissed in Tasks. What changed lists movement, such as a keyword leaving the map pack, with a link to the task added for it when there is one. Select View on the widget to open Tasks and work through each item in order. Prefer a plain list of open tasks and scans? Add the Action items widget from the library.
