What is a “frozen” project?

A frozen project is a project which is not being tracked by RankActive tools.  You can view your active and frozen projects by clicking on the corresponding field.

The collection of data for a frozen project will be stopped until you unfreeze it. You are free to add new projects instead of “frozen” ones.

Let’s illustrate it with an example 

For instance, if you use the Optimal plan, the number of daily tracked keywords for your plan is limited to 2,500. So, if you decide to freeze the project with 100 keywords, the limit of keywords in your Optimal account will drop to 2,500 – 100 = 2,400 daily tracked keywords.

Also, the number of projects you can freeze is equal to the number of projects available for the chosen subscription plan: for example, users of the Minimal plan can add 5 campaigns + additionally freeze 5 campaigns.

In the Rank Tracker section, you can change your current tracking mode, remove or add search engines, and add or remove SERP types.

You can also delete or add keywords according to their positions and/or Search Volumes and create various keyword categories by assigning tags to different keywords.

In the Analytics section, you can connect to another Google Analytics account or Revoke Access to your current GA account. Here, you will also find general information about your Analytics profile.

In the Competitors section, you can add or remove domains of your competitors.

In the Site Auditor section, you can manage the settings of the Site Auditor tool.
