Settings reference

Pick a website in the Command Center, then open Settings. It has four groups — Automation & budget, Content & page rules, Data & tracking and Reporting & client — and this page lists what is in each of them.

Saving is not uniform, and it catches people out. Lane switches and client visibility save the moment you flip them. Cadence fields need Save automation settings. Content and page rules commit with one Save all. The market locations picker saves on its own, and the report day saves when you leave the field.

Automation & budget

The four lanes at the top decide what runs without you. The header pill shows how many are running, for example 3/4 running.

Paid research cadence (Advanced)

How often Zyan refreshes paid search evidence by itself. The panel shows a live monthly estimate as you choose.

Optional content lanes (Advanced)

Both are off by default.

Content & page rules

What the AI may write, where it may write it, and what it must not touch.

One Save all commits this section. The market locations picker is the exception and saves on its own.

Data & tracking

Connections, freshness and run health.

SEO cron-step history reads Not available for workspace logins. That is expected; it is platform-operator diagnostic data, not something missing from your workspace.

Reporting & client

The three client-visibility switches save immediately; a flip that notifies the client or takes a service out of their plan asks you to confirm first. The report day saves when you leave the field, and an invalid day is never written — the field snaps back and explains why.

These are the same three switches as the SEO, per project block on the client's Client visibility page. SEO reporting is the included SEO Reporting & Technical SEO service: on when the service is included in the client's plan, off cancels it. Blog posts covers Show scheduled blog posts in client Content Center on the website's autoblog schedules and the included Blog content service; it is on while anything behind it is on, and its hover says when posts are not reaching the calendar yet. A greyed switch says why on its hover. While a switch is off, the eye-slash button beside it hides the offer from the client, and a paused service shows Resume. A service billed through Stripe never switches off here: the switch stays on and says why, so cancel the charge in the client's billing first. A website without a client portal of its own is switched here too — its services are included for it alone, on the portal it signs in through, and a line under the switches names that portal. If the client's services cannot be read, the section says so and the switches cover the SEO Command Center parts only.

On the Portfolio, Manage websites shows one SEO reporting dot per website — on whenever the client sees SEO reporting (the included service, or an older reporting setting still on; a hidden offer keeps it off unless another of their portals has reporting), off otherwise; its label reads on, off or hidden. The dot changes nothing; click it to open that website's SettingsReporting & clientClient visibility. It is greyed out on a website that is not enrolled.

What saves how

Control	Saves
The four automation lanes	On click
Client visibility switches	On click, after a confirm when the client is notified or a service leaves their plan

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Fix
A cadence change did not stick	Cadence fields need the section's save button	Click Save automation settings
A content rule did not stick	The section commits together	Click Save all
Paid research stopped for the month on a website with no budget typed	On a metered workspace a blank budget runs against $15 a month, and this month's $15 is used	Type a monthly SEO budget to set your own cap, or wait for next month
Readiness says Command Center keyword data reached its $15 default on a website with no budget typed	On a workspace exempt from credit metering a blank budget caps only Command Center keyword data, and this month's $15 is used. Strategy runs and drafting have no monthly SEO budget there	Wait for next month — each keyword-data pull you start asks you to confirm meanwhile — or type a monthly SEO budget, which then caps every lane, strategy runs included
Scheduled research and drafting have paused	The monthly budget is reached	Wait for next month, raise it, or run it yourself as an owner and accept the overrun
A fix was not auto-sent although auto-send is on	Its page was changed recently and Recently changed pages is set to Wait	Send it by hand, choose Go last, or let the page finish its wait
A member cannot arm auto-attach	Arming it needs owner or admin rights	Ask an owner or admin
A member cannot change the generic-domain rule	It needs an owner or admin	Ask an owner or admin
The client says SEO is missing from their portal	SEO reporting is off and nothing else has opened their SEO tab	Turn on SEO reporting, or attach a report
SEO reporting will not switch off	A service billed through Stripe keeps the client seeing it	Cancel the charge in the client's billing first — the switch never stops a charge
Map Pack results reads Not shown	Map Pack shows inside SEO reporting, and SEO reporting is off	Turn on SEO reporting
Cron-step history says it is not available	It is not exposed to workspace logins	Use Run health and Scheduler job history instead
Bluehost deploy after fix commits does nothing	It needs owner or admin rights, terminal wiring and FTP credentials	Confirm both with your platform operator before relying on it
