Semrush’s Client Portal is a collaboration software for digital agencies and their clients, which helps agencies share progress and results via individual password-protected portals that clients can access 24/7. With this tool, agencies can showcase reports, share the scope of work, request client approvals, and more.
There is also an advanced feature of embedding client portals into the agency’s own website.
This way you can integrate client portals to your own website to make it look like your own custom solution, providing a seamless and consistent experience for your clients.
Your domain will be displayed in the URL of your client portals. When visiting portals, your clients will see your website URL instead of the default myinsights.io.
Client Portal on a custom subdomain feature is available with the Agency Growth Kit Advanced plan*. Explore all features.
How to Embed Client Portals to Your Own Domain
1. In your client portal dashboard, press the “Customize domain” button.
If you don’t have portals yet, you can easily create your first portal on this page.
2. Enter your domain name:
Enter your full domain name, such as "portal.yourcompany.com." We will verify the validity of your domain and provide the necessary data for setup.
3. Create a new DNS record:
Login to your domain provider's website. Access your DNS records and select the option to add a new record. Enter the records we have provided for you, then click "Apply" to activate your domain.

4. Wait for SSL certificate installation:
Please be patient while the SSL certificate (HTTPS) is being installed. It may take up to 1 hour for the certificate to be applied and fully functional.
Once the SSL certificate is installed, your client portal will be successfully set up on your custom subdomain.
