Questions we hear a lot
Straight answers about how Intelligence Hub fits your stack, what we connect, and how pricing and sharing work. Still unsure? Get started and we'll point you to the right tier.
What is Blue Carrot Intelligence Hub?
Intelligence Hub is monthly analytics built for operators with one or many locations. You connect GA4, Google Search Console, and optional sources like Google Business Profile performance, then see trends, top pages and queries, and AI-grounded summaries in one workspace, scoped per property or brand.
What can we connect today?
Most teams start with GA4 and Search Console. We also support GBP performance metrics (read-only from Google), Core Web Vitals lab data, Semrush exports you upload, and optional extras like map rank checks, depending on your plan and what you enable in project settings.
Do you change anything in Google Business Profile?
No. Integrations that touch Google Business Profile are read-only on Google’s side. We pull performance signals into your Blue Carrot project so you can report and decide. Listings themselves stay under your control in Google.
What is Competitive Product Tracker?
Competitive Product Tracker is an optional add-on for Intelligence Hub customers who want competitor price and catalog visibility alongside their own analytics. It lives in the same dashboard experience as your monthly reporting, not a separate silo.
Is Blue Carrot built for Shopify DTC brands?
Yes. Intelligence Hub serves any operator with GA4 and Search Console, and many ecommerce teams use it for monthly SEO reporting. Competitive Product Tracker is Shopify-first: published product URLs on your storefront and named competitor sites, with filters and price deltas for merchandising reviews.
Can we track competitor prices on Shopify?
Competitive Product Tracker monitors live Shopify catalog URLs you configure—your SKUs and hand-picked competitor storefronts. It is not built for Amazon or third-party marketplaces. Pricing updates on a monthly cadence with alerts when prices move between syncs.
Do we need Competitive Product Tracker to use Intelligence Hub on Shopify?
No. Intelligence Hub stands alone for monthly SEO analytics. Add Competitive Product Tracker when catalog pricing visibility should sit beside Search Console, GA4, and AI summaries in the same workspace.
How does multi-location pricing work for ecommerce?
Self-serve tiers are scoped per Google Business Profile location. Brands with multiple locations or roll-ups can start on Intelligence Hub per property and talk to us about Portfolio programs for shared reporting across sites.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is scoped per location for self-serve Intelligence Hub, with optional add-ons and a done-for-you tier when you want our team executing SEO, not just reporting. Portfolio programs cover multi-brand roll-ups; see the Pricing page for current tiers.
How do clients or stakeholders view reports?
You sign in to the admin workspace to configure projects and uploads. For read-only sharing, you can use password-protected share links scoped to a client or project so investors or operators see dashboards without full account access.
How quickly can we go live?
Self-serve Intelligence Hub is designed for fast onboarding: connect properties, confirm data sources, and you’ll see history as soon as ingestion completes, often within a day once credentials and property IDs are in place. Hands-on SEO timelines depend on scope.
