Project Sharing Guide

A share link puts a read-only LinkMap at /guest/your-agency/your-path, and the recipient needs no account. You choose whether it carries the audit findings, the snapshot timeline, both, or just the map.

Each project has one share link. Creating another replaces it. See analytics and reporting for what the audit half contains.

Accessing Share Settings

To share your LinkMap visualization, navigate to the "Project Sharing" tab in the editor interface. It sits alongside the Visualization and Indexing Gap tabs.

Creating Your First Share Link

Sharing writes require the sharing permission on your account. If your plan includes company branding, a modal asks for your agency name first and will not let you past it -- the name becomes part of the share URL.

Fill in two fields under Link Settings:

1. Custom Share Path -- letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores only. It lands after /guest/your-agency/
2. Link Expires After -- a date, and it is required. There is no permanent link

Then pick what travels with it under Share Settings, and click Create Share Link.

Sharing the Report

The Share Settings panel governs what the recipient can see. The Share Report toggle sends your site audit and indexing findings along with the map, so the client gets the problems and the structure in one view rather than a picture with no findings attached. Leave it off and the recipient sees the visualization alone.

The panel describes the toggle as "Include the site audit and indexing findings alongside the map." It exposes the report at the /report address under your share path.

Managing Timeline Visibility

Show Timeline lets the recipient move between captured snapshots. Leave it off and they see one map -- the current one.

Turning it on reveals two checkboxes, both on by default: Share Pre-Optimization Snapshots and Share Manual Snapshots. Clear either one to hide that whole class of snapshot.

Below them, Individual Snapshot Overrides lists every snapshot separately, so you can hide one without hiding its category. Timeline Preview shows the result as the client will see it, before you save.

Share Link Management

The live link sits in the Active Share Link card with its expiry date and a Copy button.

Update Share Settings changes what an existing link exposes without changing its URL. Delete Share Link removes the record outright, and the URL stops resolving immediately.

Client View Experience

The client opens a read-only map with pages coloured by PageValue, and a legend they can click to read the scale. No login, no account.

A search box finds nodes by name, and there are fullscreen and HUD toggles for presenting. Clicking a node highlights what it links to.

They can also take the map away: Export as PNG, Export as JPG, and Export as JSON are all available in the shared view.

Security and Access Control

Two things gate a share link: the expiry date and the secrecy of the path. Every guest request re-checks that the link is active and that its expiry is still in the future, so an expired link stops working without you touching it.

Deleting the link is immediate. Anyone holding the URL gets nothing from that moment.

Sharing Your SEO Reports

The SEO Report Builder rides the same share link. With Share Report on, your saved report layout appears at /guest/your-agency/your-path/report -- your agency name, your chosen path. With it off, that address returns a 404.

That turns the one page visualization into a small multi-page site, which is the format a client wants when they are after SEO reports and KPIs rather than a structure map.
