Settings

Project Settings defines who the site is for, what the engine may touch, and how much it may do on its own. Choose Save settings after editing; the Autonomy section has its own Save autonomy button.

Project

Name, Domain, and Canonical site URL identify the site. Monthly evidence budget is the project-wide ceiling, in US dollars, for automatic paid AI-answer checks and Authority evidence such as backlink snapshots. Live Ask the engines questions do not draw from this budget. Turn on Scheduled authority evidence to allow a weekly paid backlink and referring-domain refresh; it runs only when both the budget and the autonomy policy permit it.

Autonomy and safety

Choose how much the engine owns:

• Audit only / MCP — observe and file findings only. You or an external agent handle every change.
• Copilot — execute low-risk work; ask before risky, external, or paid actions. This is the default for new projects.
• Full — execute policy-allowed work autonomously, including paid evidence within budget.
• Custom — set a default rule, then override individual departments or action classes.

Every rule has the same controls: Create tasks, Prepare plans, Execute, Maximum risk, Spend limit (USD) per prepared action, and Require approval. Custom lets you give each department a narrower or broader boundary and pin rules to concrete action classes such as Site crawl, Metadata update, Directory submission, Authority refresh, Task comment, and Task status update. Project scope and pre-execution checks still apply in every mode. See Autonomy for how approval and risk work.

Business context

Business description, Audience, Conversion goals, Brand constraints, and Competitor domains tell the engine what matters. It uses them to prioritize work, name topic clusters, judge competitors in AI answers, and constrain any content it drafts.

Scope

Included paths and Excluded paths take one prefix per line, for example /blog or /checkout. Blank included paths mean the whole site; exclusions always win. Markets and Locales describe where the site competes. The summary line under the fields confirms what is in scope.

Reports

Turn on Scheduled reports, choose a Weekly or Monthly cadence, and set the Timezone the periods should follow. Email and channel delivery are not currently active. See Reports.

Goals

The project goal is edited from Active goals beside Tasks, not from Settings. Changing the goal reprioritizes findings and future tasks; it never changes autonomy, integrations, or spend limits.

Integrations

Integrations are connected once at the workspace level. When a Search Console property, GA4 property, or Cloudflare zone matches the project domain it is attached automatically; see Integrations.

Archiving

Archive project stops all engine work and hides the project from lists. Stored evidence is kept. Archiving does not change billing; the paid site position stays available for another project.

Setting changes affect future planning and actions. A plan that is already frozen keeps its recorded policy and target until it is rejected or prepared again.
