Getting Started with Monitor

What is Monitor?

Lumar Monitor gives you a high-level view of all your domains, or sections of your site, in one place. A scannable table means you can quickly spot changes and trends that need attention, and customizable alerts will notify you in-app or via email, Slack or Microsoft Teams when a threshold has been breached. 

Core benefits:

  • Focus your attention and take swift action. Act quickly with customizable alerts and a scannable overview of multiple domains or sections of your site in one place. 
  • Focus on the metrics that matter most. Avoid the noise with a customizable view that allows you to focus on the most relevant data. 
  • Spot trends and prove investment cases. Easily see when a metric is moving in the wrong direction, and provide evidence to secure investment. 
  • Save time spent manipulating data. Spot issues and trends from within Deepcrawl. No need to download and manipulate data in spreadsheets.

Who is Monitor for?

Lumar Monitor brings benefits to a number of organizations, principally:

  • Multi-domain brands. For organizations with multiple brands, it can be difficult to stay on top of the technical health of each brand site, and quickly identify accessibility issues or SEO trends. With a high-level overview of all sites in one place, technical SEOs, digital leaders and accessibility teams can get a quick view of how their sites are performing, and quickly spot trends or issues that need addressing. Customized alerts also helps ensure issues are quickly rectified.
  • SEO Agencies. Just like multi-domain brands, agencies also need to stay on top of the technical health of multiple brands, but for their clients rather than their own organization. With Monitor, agencies can easily track their customers’ websites for spikes or trends, and receive alerts of technical health issues or trends that need addressing.
  • Large Websites and International Brands. For businesses with very large and complex websites, staying on top of all site areas can be just as challenging as managing multiple brands. With Monitor, you can see an overview of all the important parts of your site in one place, such as different product or content categories, or different geographies, so you can spot trends or issues in particular areas of your site.
