# Create Project

> Create a project in the connected Ahrefs workspace for a domain or URL (the same project powers Rank Tracker and Site Audit), with access level, owner and folder

Create a project in the connected Ahrefs workspace for a domain or URL (the same project powers Rank Tracker and Site Audit), with access level, owner and folder. Free: does not consume API units, but projects count against the Ahrefs plan's project quota. Then add keywords with ahrefs\_manage\_tracked\_keywords.
