What this is
This article explains how to configure a Project in Keyword.com, including ViewKey sharing settings, branding, currency, and lifecycle actions (archive and delete).
Why this matters
Project settings control:
What clients and stakeholders see in shared ViewKey reports
How branding is applied at a Project level
How CPC data is displayed
Whether a Project is safely archived or permanently removed
Correct setup avoids accidental data loss and ensures clean, client-ready reporting.
How to access Project settings
Navigate to the Project from the left sidebar
Inside the Project, click the three-dot menu
Choose one of the following:
Edit Project
ViewKey Project Settings
ViewKey Project settings
ViewKey Project Settings control how shared, live reports behave for this Project.
What you can configure
1. Show or hide sections in the shared ViewKey report
You can choose whether viewers see:
Project Overview charts
Top Pages tab
If enabled, both are hidden, viewers will only see the keyword ranking table for the Project, Group, or Tag the ViewKey link was created for.
If enabled, viewers will see:
The same Project Overview charts as inside the app
The Top Pages report
ViewKey Report with setting enabled:
ViewKey Report with setting disabled:
2. Password-protect the ViewKey report
You can set a password for the shared ViewKey link.
If a password is set, the viewer must enter it to access the report
Without the password, the link cannot be opened
3. Override account-wide ViewKey branding
You can enable Override Account-Wide ViewKey Branding for this Project.
This allows you to apply Project-specific branding, regardless of what is set at the account level.
When enabled, you can customise:
Company name and link
Logo
Description
Edit Project settings
Edit Project settings affect how the Project appears inside your account and how CPC data is displayed.
What you can configure
1. Project display name
Change the name used to identify the Project throughout the app.
2. Reporting currency (CPC)
You can change the reporting currency used for the CPC (cost per click) metric.
Important notes:
CPC data is collected in USD
Currency conversion is applied for display only
Conversions use xe.com exchange rates
Archiving & deleting a Project
Archive a Project
Archiving does not delete keywords or historical data
The Project is moved to the Archive section
You can restore the Project at any time and continue where you left off
Archived list:
Delete a Project
When deleted, the Project is kept in archive for 30 days
After 30 days, all keywords and historical data are permanently deleted
This action cannot be undone
💡 Best practices & notes
Use ViewKey settings to control exactly what clients can see
Use Project-level branding for agency or multi-client setups
Archive Projects instead of deleting them unless removal is final
Double-check before deleting, as permanent deletion is irreversible
