# Web Properties Setup in Conductor Creator and Conductor Intelligence
> Choose and configure the web properties for which Conductor collects data—domains, subdomains, subfolders, and more.
Web Properties is your home for choosing and configuring the different web properties for which Conductor collects data. You can:
* Add web properties for Conductor to track.
* Add comparison web properties from your competitors for Conductor to track.
* Manage those web properties over time.
* Configure tools and features for each web property, such as web analytics integrations, brands, page groups, and more.
You can create a web property group in the **Web Properties** activity in the Settings menu.
Not sure how to approach creating web property groups for your organization? Refer to the [How should I organize and optimize my web property groups?](/docs/platform/web-properties-faqs/#how-should-i-organize-and-optimize-web-property-groups) article for guidance.
**Settings** > [**Web Properties**](https://app.conductor.com/u/websites)
## Track a web property
Follow these instructions for adding a web property.
You can track any of the following types of web properties—where your content lives online—in Conductor:
* Your website's root domain
* A subdomain on your website
* A subfolder from your website
* Your organization's YouTube Channel
* An individual URL with content you consider part of your organization's digital presence. Note that this can include third-party sites that have content about your organization.
**What domain should I add?**
To track your entire website, use the root domain (example: [example.com](http://example.com)). Note that entering a domain like `www.example.com`will track only the `www.` subdomain, and no other subdomains on your site. As a result, if you want to track several subdomains on your site—like `blog.example.com`, `product.example.com`, et cetera—consider entering the root domain.
To track a web property:
1. Click **Add Web Property**.
2. In the form that appears, enter the URL for the web property you want to add in the **Enter your site (or URL)** field. The value you enter here will determine the kind of web property Conductor offers as a potential option to track:
* Enter a root domain, subdomain, subfolder, or page from your website.
* Enter your organization's YouTube channel URL. To be recognized as a YouTube channel, the format should be: `youtube.com/channel/[Your YouTube Channel ID]`
You can find your YouTube Channel ID on your channel home page. Click **More** in your description, then click the **Share channel** button and select **Copy Channel ID**. The ID is now on your clipboard.
* Enter a URL for any page that you consider part of your organization's digital presence. For example, you might add a review page about your brand from a third-party site.
3. Click **Save and Continue**.
4. Enter the [brands](/docs/intelligence/ai-search-faqs/#what-is-a-brand-in-conductors-ai-search-performance-reporting) that represent the web property you are adding.
5. Click **Save and Continue**.
6. Add the competitors you want to track for this web property.
As with your own tracked web properties, you can track any of the following types of competitor properties in Conductor:
* A competitor's website's root domain
* A subdomain on a competitor's website
* A subfolder from a competitor's website
* A competitor's YouTube Channel
* An individual URL where a competitor has content you consider part of that organization's digital presence. Note that this can include third-party sites that have content about your competitors' organizations.
If competitors have been tracked for other properties the your account, you'll see a list of options. For each competitor, you'll choose:
* The locations and language to track.
* a label to describe the competitor.
* The competitors' brands. (If the competitor has been tracked for another property in your account, the brands configured for it will already be chosen. You can always edit these brands later.
7. Click **Save and Continue**.
8. Choose from where Conductor Intelligence discovers pages to report on in the [Pages](/docs/intelligence/pages-conductor-intelligence) and [Page Details](/docs/intelligence/page-details) reports:
You can choose **Skip For Now** and configure these selections later in the [Pages & Crawling Setup](/docs/intelligence/pages-and-crawling-setup) activity.
* **Web analytics:** pages from the web property will be discovered from your integrated web analytics profile.
* **Pages ranking for my tracked keywords:** pages from the web property will be discovered when they rank for the keywords you track.
* **My tracked keywords' preferred URLs:** pages from the web property will be discovered when they are listed as the [preferred URL](/docs/intelligence/tracked-keyword-faqs/#what-are-preferred-urls-for-a-keyword) for a tracked keyword—even if no pages rank for that keyword.
* **Add URLs to Include:** pages to always be included in your pages reporting.
* **Add URLs to Exclude:** pages you do not want to report on. Use specific URLs, paths, or robots.txt-style rules for determining pages to exclude.
9. Click **Save and Complete**.

## Archive tracked web properties
Depending on your reporting needs over time, you might want to remove web properties from your tracking. You can do this by archiving these web properties.

* Deactivates any tracked keywords associated with the web property.

* Archiving a web property group removes all its constituent properties from tracking.
To archive a web property:
1. Find the web property and click the **More** (three-dots) icon.
2. Select **Archive**.
3. Click **Archive** to confirm.
