Your first 10 minutes

After you sign in, do these three things. That is enough to start a monitoring cycle.

Add a domain

Open Domains in the sidebar and add a site you own — the destination your backlinks should point to. See How to add a domain.

Add backlinks

Open Links, then add the pages that should contain a link to that domain. You can paste up to 150 URLs at a time. See How to add backlinks.

Wait for the first check

New rows show as Waiting until Ples checks them (about every 24 hours). Open the dashboard or Issues after the first cycle.

Optional but useful on day one: create a tag for the campaign, and add a contact if you know who placed the link.

What you will see

Dashboard — domain count, active links, portfolio health, and latest issues
Links — the full table with status, LQS, DA, DR, spam score, and Google index
Waiting status — normal until the first check finishes
