Welcome to your dashboard

Conspicuous shows how your brand turns up in two places people look for answers: Google search and AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answers. This guide walks through every part of the dashboard: what each number, chart and table means, and what to do with it.

The Conspicuous dashboard on a computer: a sidebar on the left, tabs across the top and four headline numbers on the Overview tab. — The dashboard for a made-up coffee brand, Brightpath Coffee. Every screenshot in this guide uses the same invented brand.

Getting around

The sidebar

The sidebar on the left holds your brand name and website, and links to everything outside the main dashboard:

Dashboard takes you back to the tabs.
Reports archive opens your monthly reports (see Monthly Recap).
Onboarding questions is where you tell us about your business (see Onboarding questions).
APIs lets you pull your numbers into another tool (see APIs).
Contact support sends us a message (see Contact support).
Help opens this guide.
Sign out signs you out on this device.

Below the links you'll see which market the dashboard is showing, the last day its data covers, and when your next monthly report is due. The Night mode button at the bottom switches between light and dark. The dashboard remembers your choice on that device.

The header

The header at the top shows the month and the last day the data covers ("data through"). If your account covers more than one country or language, a set of market buttons appears here too: pick one and every tab switches to that market. Export report opens your browser's print window, so you can print the page you're on or save it as a PDF.

The tabs

Each tab covers one area. Your account may not show all of them: some tabs are switched on per account. If you'd like one you don't see, ask us through Contact support.

Little symbols worth knowing

A question mark next to a title or column opens a short explanation of that number. Hover over it on a computer, or tap it on a phone.
A green check next to a title means a person on the Conspicuous team checked that part by hand. Hover or tap it to see what was checked and when.
▲ and ▼ show whether a number went up or down against the period it's compared with. Green is good news and red is bad news, so a lower ranking position shows green with "better".
A dash (–) means there is no number for that spot yet.
A Sample badge on a section means its data hasn't arrived yet. It goes away once your own data is in, usually after the first weekly update.
A notice across the top of a tab means we know about an issue with that area and are working on it. It goes away once things are back to normal.

How often things update

Search and AI numbers update weekly. Your written recap arrives monthly, and the sidebar shows when the next one is due. The "data through" date in the header always tells you how fresh the page is.

On a phone

The dashboard works on a phone. The sidebar sits above the tabs, and wide tables scroll sideways: swipe a table left to see its other columns.
