Can I run more than one SEO project at once?
Yes. You can run several projects at the same time, across one client or many, and codus runs a batch of them together. By default it runs up to six at once. Start more than that and the extras wait in a queue and begin automatically as the running ones finish, so you can line up a whole day's work and walk away.
Before you start
- You need more than one project. Create as many as you like, under one brand or across several. See How do I add an SEO client and create a project?.
How to run several
- Open the first project and click Run team, then Run. It starts.
- Open the next project and do the same. Repeat for as many as you want.
- Each project you start either begins right away, if a slot is free, or joins the queue.
You do not queue them from one screen. You start each project, and codus handles slotting them in.
What running and queued look like
- A project that is running shows green Team dots and a Stop button.
- A project that is waiting for a slot shows as Queued, and its run button reads Cancel rather than Stop. Click Cancel to take it back out of the queue.
- When a running project finishes, the next queued one starts on its own. You do not have to come back and press anything.
You can see a project's state at a glance in the left column, and in a brand's overview each project (study) is listed with its status: Draft, Queued, Running, Needs input, Done or Error.
How do I know it worked?
Several projects show green Team dots at the same time, and any beyond the limit sit as Queued and start themselves as slots free up. Nothing is lost by starting more than can run at once; they wait their turn.
Common problems
"I started a project and it only says Queued." All the run slots are busy. It starts automatically when one frees up. If you want it sooner, stop a project you care about less.
"How many run together?" Six by default. The rest queue and begin as running projects finish.
"Can different clients run at the same time?" Yes. The limit is on how many projects run together in total, not per client.
