Adding, editing, or removing markets

You manage your markets on the KI Score page. Each market is a market made up of one service and one region, and it appears there as its own tab once it has a score. This article shows how to add more markets, change your market profile, and remove markets again, and what that means for your market allowance.

Adding a market

1. In the sidebar, open KI-Score under Sichtbarkeit (Visibility).
2. Click Markt hinzufügen (Add market) at the top of the header. Alternatively, click the + to the right of the market tabs.
3. Under Wo soll Ihre Marke verglichen werden? (Where should your brand be compared?), choose the market area: Lokal (local), Regional (regional), or National (national).
4. Depending on the market area, select a Land (country) or enter a Standort (location).
5. Check the suggested service under Ihr Marktvorschlag (your market suggestion). If it doesn't fit, enter your own under Anderen Markt verwenden (use a different market) and click Übernehmen (Apply).
6. Click Markt hinzufügen.
7. In the Markt hinzufügen? (Add market?) confirmation, check how many markets will be in use afterward, for example “Danach sind 2 von 2 Märkten im Workspace belegt.” (2 of 2 markets in the workspace will then be in use).
8. Confirm with Markt hinzufügen.

A message then tells you where things stand, for example “Markt hinzugefügt. Die erste Messung startet automatisch.” (Market added. The first measurement starts automatically.) or “Markt hinzugefügt. Für diesen Markt liegen bereits Ergebnisse vor.” (Market added. Results are already available for this market.) If all places are still taken for the current month, for example by a market you just removed, the panel shows the notice Messung ab der nächsten Periode (Measurement from the next period). The confirmation then shows a start date, and KI Score schedules the market for that date (“Markt ab … vorgemerkt.”, market scheduled from …). If your allowance is used up even with scheduled changes counted, the panel shows Kein Platz für einen weiteren Markt (No room for another market). In that case, remove an additional market or a scheduled change first.

Note: The allowance applies to the whole workspace, not to each website: Essential includes 1 market, Advanced 2, and Premium 5. On Enterprise, the number of markets isn't limited. The same combination of service and region counts only once per workspace. KI Score measurements don't use any credits.

Review and approval of new markets

For markets that KI Score doesn't measure yet, the KI Score team reviews them before the first measurement and then approves them. Markets that are already being measured, for example because other customers use them, are included from the next regular measurement. Adding a market doesn't trigger an immediate measurement.

All markets at a glance

Click Märkte (Markets) in the header to open a list of all of the website's markets, including those that don't have their own tab yet. Each market shows its status, such as In Vorbereitung (in preparation), Messung läuft (measurement running), Score verfügbar (score available), Vorgemerkt ab … (scheduled from …), Nicht im Kontingent (not in allowance), or Zu wenig KI-Nachfrage (too little AI demand). Your primary market carries the Vergleichsmarkt (comparison market) badge and can be changed there with Bearbeiten (Edit); you remove additional markets with Entfernen (Remove).

Editing your market profile

1. Click the arrow next to the name of a market tab, or open Märkte.
2. Select Markt bearbeiten (Edit market), or Bearbeiten for the comparison market.
3. Under Wo soll deine Marke verglichen werden? (Where should your brand be compared?), adjust the market area, the Land, or the Standort.
4. If needed, select additional markets under Deine Marktvorschläge (your market suggestions). Use Als Vergleichsmarkt (set as comparison market) to make a different market your primary market; it carries the Vergleichsmarkt badge.
5. Click Änderungen speichern (Save changes).

Markt bearbeiten always opens the profile of your primary market, no matter which tab you open it from. Saving doesn't trigger an extra immediate measurement. If you change a profile that is already being measured, KI Score schedules the change. The profile then shows Marktwechsel vorgemerkt (market change scheduled) with the date from which the new selection applies. Until then, your current market stays in place, and the history of the old market is kept. Use Vormerkung aufheben (cancel scheduled change) to withdraw the scheduled change.

Re-analyzing your website

The market suggestions come from an analysis of your website. If your offering has changed, click Website erneut analysieren (Re-analyze website) in Markt bearbeiten. You can do this at most once every 30 days, or again after one hour if an analysis failed. While the button is locked, the profile shows “Wieder verfügbar ab …” (available again from …) with a date and time.

Removing an additional market

1. Click the arrow next to the name of the market tab you want to remove.
2. Select Löschen (Delete).

Alternatively, click Entfernen next to the market under Märkte. The market is removed immediately, without a confirmation. Only additional markets can be removed. You can't delete your primary market; you can only change it through Markt bearbeiten.

Places stay taken until month end

A market that has already been measured in the current month keeps its place in your allowance until the end of the calendar month (Berlin time). This also applies if you remove it, or if you delete the website and add it again. The message after removing reads “Markt entfernt. Wurde er in diesem Zeitraum schon gemessen, bleibt sein Platz bis … belegt.” (Market removed. If it was already measured in this period, its place stays taken until …) and gives the date. If you add a replacement market during this time, KI Score schedules it for the next month.

If you need more markets permanently, a larger plan is the way to get them. You'll find an overview on the plans page.
