Quick Tip: Creating Compete Portfolio Views

Creating a Portfolio

1. Navigate to the comparison tool.
2. Compare a group of domains or sub-domains.
3. Create a Portfolio View by navigating to the “Add to Portfolio” link under the Compare button or in the Site Profile navigation above the orange Go button.

Add the View Name and Domains to the Portfolio View
You must add the View Name, which will be what this particular grouping of domains will be called. Then specify what domains you’d like to save in the view, this is done for you if you created it from the directions above. You can also choose to add a short description before selecting the Add to Portfolio button. The following image has a number of popular google subdomains, as an example. *Note: not all subdomains existing on the internet will be available, only those that are tracked by compete.

1. Make sure to fill in the View Name so you can easily access it from the “load portfolio” drop-down. The description is optional but would be particularly helpful if you have a number of similar portfolios.
2. Make sure to click the Add to Portfolio button to save it for future use.

Loading Saved Portfolios

Now that you’ve saved your portfolio view you can access it any time from an active site comparison. Simply select the Select Portfolio… drop down and click on the view you’d like to load.

1. Start by comparing 2 sites or more before loading the portfolio.
2. Click on the Load Portfolio… drop-down and select a saved view to load.

Managing Portfolios

You can also manage your portfolios from the MyCompete section of your account. If you need to edit, delete, or create new portfolios; you can do so at this link: https://my.compete.com/portfolio

2. Edit your Portfolio – update the current View Name, domains, or description by selecting the Edit link.
3. Delete your Portfolio – selecting this option will prompt you to *confirm the deletion of your created portfolio view.
