Groups are the foundation of bulkU’s organization system. They let you create separate collections of URLs for different projects, clients, or purposes, keeping your workflow organized and efficient.
Think of groups as folders: Just like you organize files into folders on your computer, groups help you organize URLs by context or purpose.
What Are URL Groups?
A URL group is a named collection of URLs that you can manage independently. Each group has its own:
URL list: The URLs stored in this group
Tags: Custom labels for organizing URLs within the group

Common Use Cases
By Project: “Website Redesign”, “Q4 Campaign”, “Research Paper”
By Client: “Client A”, “Client B”, “Internal Projects”
By Purpose: “Daily Checks”, “SEO Audit”, “Competitor Analysis”
By Status: “To Review”, “Approved”, “Archive”
Creating Groups
Creating a new group is quick and straightforward.

2
Click “New Group”
Click the “New Group” button to open the creation dialog.
3
Name Your Group
Enter a descriptive name that clearly identifies the purpose of this group. Good names are specific and meaningful.
Naming tips: Use clear, descriptive names like “Client Website Audit” instead of vague names like “URLs 1”. You’ll thank yourself later!
4
Confirm Creation
Click “Create” and your new group is ready to use. It will automatically become the active group.
Free version limit: You can create up to 5 groups in the free version. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited groups.
Managing Groups
Once you’ve created groups, you can easily manage them to keep your workflow organized.
Switching Between Groups
Use the dropdown menu at the top of the extension to switch between groups. The currently active group is displayed prominently.

Renaming Groups
Go to the Groups tab
Select the group you want to rename
Click the “Rename” button
Enter the new name and confirm
Deleting Groups
Go to the Groups tab
Select the group you want to delete
Click the “Delete” button
Confirm the deletion (this cannot be undone)
Warning: Deleting a group permanently removes all URLs, tags, and settings associated with it. Make sure to export your data first if you need a backup!
Duplicating Groups
Want to create a similar group? You can duplicate an existing group:
Export the group as JSON
Create a new group
Import the JSON file into the new group
Rename the new group as needed
Group Metadata
Each group displays helpful metadata to keep you informed:
URL Count: Total number of URLs in the group
Last Updated: When the group was last modified
Tag Count: Number of tags created for this group
Screenshot: Group card showing metadata (URL count, last updated, tags)
Organization Tips
Make the most of groups with these proven strategies:
1. Use a Consistent Naming Convention
Develop a naming pattern and stick to it:
By Client: “[Client Name] – [Project]” (e.g., “Acme Corp – SEO Audit”)
By Date: “[Project] – [Date]” (e.g., “Website Audit – Nov 2025”)
By Status: “[Status] – [Project]” (e.g., “Active – Client Website”)
2. Archive Completed Projects
Instead of deleting old groups:
Export the group as JSON
Store the backup in a dedicated folder
Delete the group from bulkU to free up space
Re-import if you need it later
3. Create Template Groups
For recurring workflows:
Create a group with common URLs and tags
Export it as a template
Import and rename for each new project
4. Use Groups for Different Workflows
“Inbox”: Temporary storage for URLs to process later
“Daily Checks”: URLs you review regularly
“Archive”: Completed projects for reference
“Templates”: Reusable URL collections
