Bulk campaigns import

GeoRanker allows to import bulk campaigns in CSV format:

The CSV creation must be like in the example offered on Import Campaigns via CSV, preview/download example.

In the preview, we have a header to know which data will be necessary.

The separator used in CSV must be the same with the selected one from the page. The separator will separate the data to match with the header.

The header must be in CSV, at first line from it.

Details regarding data from CSV:

• name: the name of the campaign
• URL: the URL for the campaign; all reports will be based on this URL
• type: the type of the campaign which will be reflected on the reports. Here are two options:”local” and “global”
• citiesNumber: number of cities.
• cities: the cities listed which will be used in campaigns. Here you can add in CSV via “”(e.g.: “Paris Marseille”) or just separated by space(e.g.: Paris Marseille)
• countries: here it is necessary to provide the country code/s for the campaign. Is necessary to write with uppercase(e.g.: RO FR IT) and these country codes must be separated by space
• keywords: the keywords to use on reports creation. please use separators, like “,” or “;”. But make sure that this is different than the global separator you had selected for your csv data. (e.g.: ,ball;glass photo,)
• searchEngine: the search engines used on the reports. Here we have two options: google and google plus. the corespondents of these search engines are: 1 -> google; 2 -> google plus.
• e.g.: if we want to select both search engines we will have : 1 2
• periodicity: here will specify the periodicity associated monitors reports created.
• The options are: w(weekly), d(daily), f(fortnightly), m(monthly).
• Is enough to put one of these options at this field
• sendAlert: may be 1 or 0. If you choose 1, then you will receive an email with details about your monitors/reports.Otherwise(if you choose 0) this functionality will be deactivated
• emailCC: you cand put another email as CC for the emails received from geoRanker. if you don’t want that, just let the field empty(e.g.: something,,something)
• createReportName: you can select what kind of reports will be created beside the default type of report: rank tracker. You can choose from the reports specified in the header. 1 means create the report and 0 not.

An example of a campaign from CSV is here: gmailCampaign,www.gmail.com,local,4,”Zaragoza Granada Vigo Palma”,ES,email client online,1,m,0,[email protected],1,1,1,0,1
