This image shows the drop down that controls Client selection in Octoboard and the SEO AUDIT FORM menu item that you should use to access embeddable form configuration.
After you click SEO AUDIT FORM menu item, you will be brought to the SEO AUDIT FORM configuration panel for the selected client:
Many of the controls in the form are self-explanatory. Below are key elements that you should use to configure your first form.
SEO Audit Form Embedding Switch – it controls your form availability. Make sure it is turned ON (enabled) in order to see your forms. Watch out for error messages. If any of the mandatory parameter is not set, you will see a warning.
Domain Edit Box – this is a mandatory field that controls what domain can host the embedded form. This can be your website domain name or your client’s domain name. Marketing agencies use SEO Audit Forms to add lead generation feature to their clients’ websites. It is possible to charge end clients for enabling this feature. Octoboard offer Embedded SEO Audit forms as a white label option. Make sure you enter correct domain name, for example "clientdomain.com".
Display Call To Action Switch – it configures availability of the CTA button in the running SEO Audit. If the switch is on, you can configure CTA button text and URL. CTA button is an extra option that you may use that can drive additional traffic to specific pages of your website. Clients can click that button while the SEO Audit is running. Usually it is a link to additional services that your business provides or to a page of your client’s website with additional information. The image below shows how the action button looks during the audit.
SEO Form Elements – specify if you would like visitors to their names or phone numbers. Email address is a mandatory field in all forms.
Display consent text – use this switch if you would like your potential client to agree to your Terms.
Audit header and promotional text – use these texts to add your personal messages for SEO Audit users.
SEO Form colours – define the colour of the form background and main elements.

By default, emails are sent from Octoboard.com, but you can use your own SMTP server to distribute PDF documents.

Notification Emails - every time a lead is captured, you will receive an email from our platform. Use these fields to specify email address for receiving such notifications. Make sure the email you use is verified in our system.
Once you have configured and tested you form, click "Copy to clipboard" link. Use copied html code in your website page. Paste it to any part of the html "body" section.
To get an overview of your B2B Lead Generation script installations and download captured leads, visit the “Settings > B2B Leads” panel of your Octoboard account. For more details on how to view and download captured leads for your clients, please read this tutorial.
If you want the script url to contain your domain instead, you need to enable the white label client portal in your Octoboard account. Once the portal has been enabled and your CNAME records have been updated, you can replace octoboard.com with your subdomain (for example, https://portal.yourdomain.com/scripts/seo-audit-form.js). For information on how to configure client portal in your account, please read this tutorial.
This message is normally reported by WIX.COM clients. It is displayed by Octoboard platform if you enable security option and your domain is anything but the specified domain. In this case, FILESUSR.COM, which is specific to WIX.COM. You can confirm this by checking the source code of the page where you embed the Octoboard SEO Audit iFrame. To fix the issue make sure that your embedded code does not use references to FILESUSR.COM hosting.
