Analytics tracks one website, the Business Profile listings that are turned on, and the keywords and scan area for each listing. Set all of it on [**Analytics**](/go/settings/analytics), under Settings.

## Connect a Google account

Until a Google account is connected, the page shows a connect prompt.

1. Click **Connect Google**.
2. Complete the connection with Google.
3. Wait for the page to return here.

The account appears under **Connected as** in the **Google Account** card.

## Choose the website

Choosing a website sets the one website Analytics tracks.

1. Click **Change website** or **Choose a website** in the **Website** row, or on an account row if several accounts are connected.
2. With more than 8 websites, type in the search box.
3. Click **Use** beside the website to track.

> **Note:** The panel stays open while the website's full history loads, then closes.

The **Website** row shows the website's name.

## Turn on Business Profile locations

Turning a listing on starts tracking it, with its own keyword limit and scan settings.

1. Click **Manage locations** in the **Business Profile Locations** card, or on an account row if several accounts are connected.
2. Turn on the switch beside each listing to track.
3. Turn a switch off to stop tracking that listing.

> **Note:** Turning a listing off keeps its keywords and past scans.

A listing marked primary shows a **Primary** badge in the card.

## Add and remove keywords

Each location has its own keyword list.

1. With more than one location, choose the location in the dropdown beside **Keywords and scan area for**.
2. Type a phrase, such as fence repair near me, in the **Tracked Keywords** card.
3. Click **Add**.
4. Click the x icon beside a keyword to remove it.

> **Note:** Adding a keyword to a location that has never been scanned starts its first ranking check.

Added phrases appear as tags, and the card header meter counts them.

## Raise a location to 50 keywords

Each location includes 10 keywords. An upgrade raises one to 50 for a monthly price.

1. Choose the location in the dropdown beside **Keywords and scan area for**.
2. Click the upgrade button in the footer of **Tracked Keywords**, or in its banner once every slot is used.
3. Click **Add the upgrade** in the dialog.

> **Warning:** Confirming adds the monthly price to the subscription.

The meter in the card header now counts out of 50.

## Set the scan area and monthly scan

The scan area sets how far each ranking check looks in Google Maps: about 2 miles for **Close by**, 4 for **Your city**, and 7 for **Wide area**.

1. Choose the location in the dropdown beside **Keywords and scan area for**.
2. Under **How far out to scan**, click **Close by**, **Your city**, or **Wide area**.
3. Turn on **Scan automatically every month**.

> **Note:** The scan area and monthly toggle stay disabled until Google Maps shows the location as live and verified.

The page confirms that changes apply to the next scan.

## Access and limits

- **Viewing:** Anyone with view access can open the page.
- **Keywords:** Anyone with edit access can add and remove keywords.
- **Controls:** Only people with full access see the website, location, and scan area controls. Others see a note in place of the website and location buttons.
- **Keyword limit:** Only people with full access see the upgrade controls. Others see a banner at the limit.
- **Keyword text:** A phrase can be up to 120 characters. Duplicates are refused.
- **Switching back:** On the web, an upgraded location below its limit can switch back to 10 keywords from its footer. Confirm **Switch to 10 keywords** in the dialog. The switch is refused while more than 10 keywords are tracked, so remove keywords first.
- **Native app:** No keyword upgrade is offered, and the server refuses one.
- **Plan:** One location is included with the plan. Each extra location adds a monthly price.
- **Monthly scan:** Scheduled scans queue on the first of each month, in the business time zone or UTC when that is missing.
- **Stored data:** When analytics leaves the plan, a nightly job deletes its stored data after 12 months. Putting analytics back on the plan clears the countdown. The job never deletes the Google connection.
- **Rankings:** Search rankings are covered in [track search rankings](/help/analytics/track-search-rankings).
- **Roles:** Access levels are described in [roles and permissions](/help/team/roles-and-permissions).
