Your LinkMap Dashboard
The dashboard is the first screen after login, and the one thing on it you cannot get anywhere else is your Private MCP URL. Everything else is navigation into the tools.
It also answers what do I do next for the project you are on, reading every tool at once and naming the single thing worth doing today.
Getting Your Bearings
When you first log in, you'll see a personalized welcome message with your name. The clean, uncluttered interface helps you quickly find what you need and get to work.
Essential Navigation
Your dashboard provides two main navigation areas:
Top Navigation Bar
The header carries the project switcher, which is how you move between the sites you manage, with a search box for finding one. Beside it sit the color theme toggle, chat once your account has two people, and your account menu, which holds Help, Settings and Logout.
Your Private MCP URL sits at the top of the dashboard itself. That is the address you paste into Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-capable assistant to let it read your own crawls, audits, rankings, and Search Console data in plain English. Every account has one.
Left Side Menu
The left menu starts with Dashboard, LinkMap, Competitor Research, Backlink Prospector, AI Visibility and Settings, then three groups: Reports, with Analytics, Reports, Custom Report Builder, Timeline and Calendar; Account, with Account and Credits; and Team, with Manage Users and Permissions.
You will not see all of them. Each entry is gated by permission, so a Read Only user gets a short menu and an Owner gets the full one. Manage Users and Permissions appear only for people who hold those rights.
LinkMap opens the interactive visualization, which is where most work starts.

Pro Tip
Keep the dashboard as your home base while you work. Dashboard is the first entry in the left menu, so it is always one click away when you need to switch projects or reach a different tool.

Open Help from your account menu for the help topics written for the screen you are on. The full documentation is one level up from this page.
