If you’re running a single website, monitoring your site’s SEO performance is definitely a bit more straightforward. But, as you grow and eventually manage a network of affiliate websites or run an SEO agency with several websites under your belt, then going through each site to check their stats would be a hassle every day. Thankfully, Rank Math understands your day-to-day concern with SEO, and we’ve got a Client Management dashboard right inside your Rank Math Account Area.
In this knowledgebase article, we’ll discuss the features available in the Client Management dashboard and how you can configure them.

1 How to Access the Client Management Dashboard?
The Client Management dashboard lets you monitor the SEO performance of all your websites with Rank Math installed & activated. If you haven’t installed Rank Math yet, you can get started with a Rank Math PRO plan of your choice and then proceed with installing and activating the plugin on your website.
Once your website is connected with your Rank Math PRO account, head over to the Rank Math website and log in to your account area.
In your Account Area, navigate to the Websites section as shown below.
This brings you to our Client Management dashboard available within the Rank Math account area. The Client Management dashboard might look so compact, but it has a lot of useful features.
Now let us look at each one of them.
2 See All Connected Websites
As you can see from the above image, the Client Management dashboard lists down all the websites connected with your Rank Math account in one place, giving you a bird’s eye view of all your websites. Given that you can activate your Rank Math PRO on practically unlimited websites, this feature would be really appreciated when you start adding more websites to your Rank Math account.
2.1 Search Websites
When you’ve too many websites to manage, scrolling all through the list to find a specific website would be difficult at times. A search bar is made available at the top of the dashboard to help you quickly find your website from the list of sites. Just enter the domain name fully or partially, Rank Math will find and bring it to your notice.
3 Monitor Stats
The key purpose of having a Client Management dashboard is to monitor the traffic stats and no. of ranking keywords for all your websites in one place.
As you can see, the dashboard gives you the Analytics overview of each website. In addition, it compares the performance with the previous time period to give you a quick understanding of whether your website’s traffic is improving or declining.
The metrics shown here are the same as displayed at Rank Math SEO → Analytics inside the WordPress admin area of your individual sites. You can also choose the websites’ stats you wanted to see here in the dashboard with:
3.1 Monitor SEO Performance Business
This option is available only for Business and Agency users. By enabling/disabling the Monitor SEO performance option in the individual sites, Business and Agency users can choose their websites to display stats in the Client Management dashboard.
To access this option, navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Analytics. As you scroll down the Analytics settings, you can find the option to enable/disable Monitor SEO Performance. If you’re making any changes to this option, don’t forget to Save Changes.
Note: Once you’ve enabled this option, it may take up to 24 hours for the data to be displayed in the Client Management dashboard.
If the option is disabled for a specific website, then the site stats will not be included under the respective website, as shown below.
3.2 Display Analytics Stats
While Business and Agency users get to choose the specific websites to monitor the stats, PRO users can enable/disable the analytics stats for all their websites in one go. The option to enable/disable Display Analytics Stats is available only for PRO users.
And the option is available on the same page as your Client Management dashboard, just under the list of all your connected websites.
4 Disconnect Websites
The Client Management dashboard also lets you disconnect your website’s access to your Rank Math account. Suppose, if you no longer wanted to monitor the performance of your previous client, disconnecting your Rank Math account access is easy to do here as you don’t even have to log in to your client’s website.
With that said, you should also be aware of the changes that would happen when you disconnect your website.
4.1 What Will Happen If You Disconnect a Website?
As soon as you disconnect a site, it loses access to some of the Rank Math features until they’re activated once again with a Rank Math license.
You should be expecting changes such as:
- Keyword suggestions from Google will no longer appear when you start typing in the focus keyword of your post.
- Rank Math SEO Analysis will not run to identify the basic SEO issues hindering your site’s organic traffic.
- Advanced analytics module will not be available to track pages and keyword rankings.

It will reveal how much of your Content AI plan you’ve used, how much you have left, and your plan’s reset date, as shown below.

The usage limit is also available when you navigate to Rank Math SEO → Content AI → Usage from your WordPress admin dashboard. Once there, you should click Refresh to ensure your latest usage limits are displayed.

Note: This option only applies to new sites connected to your Business or Agency license. It does not affect sites already connected to your account.

While the previous option lets you set a default limit for new sites, the Bulk limit Content AI Usage option will let you set a usage limit for existing sites that don’t have any Content AI usage limit set. Once you’ve added a limit, click the Save Changes button for the changes to reflect.
