How sign-in works, what a project is, and what you need before you start.

Signing in

There are two ways in, and neither involves a password to set or remember.

Continue with Google. Pick the Google account you want to use and you are in. Any Google account works, including a personal Gmail one, as long as Google reports the address as verified. If you already have a DiscoveredBy account on that same address, signing in with Google joins it to that account rather than starting a second one.

A one-time email link. Enter your address and DiscoveredBy sends a sign-in link to your inbox. The link works once, for 15 minutes, in this browser only, so a link forwarded to someone else, or opened after it expires, does not get them in.

The email link is the path that requires a work address. Typing a Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or Hotmail address is caught at the form itself: the button disables and the page points you at the Google button instead, before anything is sent.

What a project is

A project is one site: its own tracked prompts, its own tracked competitors, and its own collected data. Everything else in the product, from Overview to almost every screen in the sidebar's General, Sources, Actions and Analytics groups, is scoped to whichever project you currently have selected. Client reports is the exception: it reviews every project you belong to.

How many projects you can create depends on your plan. See Pricing for what each plan includes.

What you need before you start

You need the URL of the site you want to track. That is the only hard requirement: signing in for the first time takes you straight into the four-step setup in Onboarding, and that setup starts from your site's URL.

If you want the Search and Site traffic screens (under Traffic in the sidebar) to show anything, you will also need access to that site's Google Search Console property, its GA4 property, or both. Connect them from Settings once you are in. Neither is required to start tracking AI visibility itself.
