Site overlay
Site overlay lets you keep SEO Perception context at your fingertips while you browse your own live website. After a one-time setup, you can open a lightweight overlay on the page you are viewing so you do not have to constantly switch tabs between your site and the app for the same URL.
Who can use it
Site overlay is available on Noob and other paid plans. It is not included on the Free plan. For a full comparison of limits and features, see Tiers, pages, and data retention.
How it works (high level)
- Install a small snippet on your site (copy it from the Site overlay tab in the website workspace). It loads our overlay loader from SEO Perception in a way that matches your site’s pages.
- Visit your live site in the browser, on a URL you want to look at.
- In SEO Perception, open the same website’s workspace and use the Site overlay tab: follow the on-screen steps and use Launch when you are ready. You stay signed into SEO Perception; the overlay session is tied to your account and that site.
Exact labels and controls follow the current product UI. If you do not see the tab, your plan may not include overlay—check the tier article linked above.
Privacy and trust
The snippet runs in your visitors’ browsers only when you use the feature as the site owner testing your property; it is not a replacement for your normal analytics. Your SEO Perception login and permissions still apply. We do not ask you to paste passwords or API secrets into the snippet—follow the copy-ready text in the app only.
Search Console and crawling
Overlay does not replace connecting Google Search Console or our crawl of your URLs. It is a convenience layer for viewing context while you are on the live page. Charts, possibilities, and stored metrics still live in the main workspace as described in What you see on a website.
