📋 Overview

The Target URL is the destination page your Cloud Stack points to and builds authority toward. When you create a Cloud Stack, this URL is used to generate the linking structure and anchor text across the stack. Occasionally you may need to change the Target URL — for example, if you entered the wrong page, updated your site structure, or want to redirect authority to a different landing page. As long as your Cloud Stack is still in draft mode (not yet published), you can edit the Target URL directly.

🧭 Where to Find Your Draft Cloud Stack

All of your Cloud Stacks live inside the Authority section of the platform. To locate your draft:

  1. In the left sidebar, click Authority.
  2. Select Cloud Stacks from the sub-menu.
  3. Find the Cloud Stack you want to edit in the list. Drafts are labeled with a Draft status.
  4. Click on the Cloud Stack to open it.

✏️ How to Edit the Target URL

Once your draft Cloud Stack is open, follow these steps to update the Target URL:

  1. Open the draft Cloud Stack you want to modify.
  2. Navigate to the Target URL field in the setup or configuration step.
  3. Clear the existing URL and enter the new destination URL. Be sure to include the full URL, starting with https://.
  4. Click Save to apply your changes.
  5. Review the rest of the stack to confirm your anchor text and linking structure reflect the updated Target URL.

Because the stack is still in draft, your edits are applied before any content is generated or published, so you can adjust freely without affecting a live campaign.

⚠️ Important Things to Know

  • Only drafts can be edited freely. Once a Cloud Stack has been published, the Target URL is locked because links and content have already been generated around it.
  • Save before leaving the page. If you navigate away without clicking Save, your Target URL change will not be retained.
  • Use a valid, indexable page. For best results, point your Target URL to a live, publicly accessible page so the host page URL can be properly indexed by Google.
  • Check your anchor text. After changing the Target URL, review the anchor text mix to ensure it still aligns with the new destination and your keyword strategy.

🛠️ Troubleshooting: My Changes Aren't Applying

If you edit the Target URL but the change does not seem to save or take effect, try the following:

  • Confirm you clicked Save after entering the new URL.
  • Verify the Cloud Stack is still in Draft status — published stacks cannot be edited.
  • Make sure the URL is correctly formatted, including the https:// prefix, with no extra spaces.
  • Refresh the page and reopen the draft to confirm the new URL is displayed.
  • Clear your browser cache or try a different browser if the field appears unresponsive.
