Overview

The first screen you see when you open a site is the Overview. It answers "what's happening on my site, and what's waiting for me?" at a glance. Overview at the top of the sidebar always brings you back here.

The status banner

The banner at the top tells you your site's publishing status:

• Your site is live, with the time of the last publish.
• You have unpublished changes: Visitors can't see your editor changes yet. Open the editor with Go to editor and publish them.
• Your site isn't live yet: Build your site in the editor and publish it.

If you've connected your own domain and its DNS records haven't been verified yet, a separate yellow banner appears (for example www.willowlanebakery.com isn't connected yet). Go to domain shows you what to do. See Connect your own domain.

Open site in the top right opens your site in a new tab.

Waiting for you

Things waiting for your reply:

• Appointment requests awaiting your approval (for example 1 appointment request awaits your approval).
• Unread: The latest unread messages in the inbox. Click one to open it in the inbox.
• Today and tomorrow: Upcoming appointments. Click one to open it in the calendar.

If nothing is waiting, the card says so. The Inbox link in its top right opens the inbox.

Last 7 days

Your site's visitors, pageviews and the number of people who reached you (form, phone, WhatsApp, appointment) over the last 7 days, compared with the week before. Below is a daily visitor chart. For details, press Go to analytics. See Site analytics.

Finish your site

The list on the right shows the steps to a good site and checks them off by itself as you go:

• Publish your site
• Add a contact section
• Add a site icon
• Connect your own domain
• Connect your Google business
• Set a goal in analytics

Click a step that's not done to open the screen where you do it. If you don't need the list, hide it with the × in its top right. When every step is done, the list disappears on its own.
