Set up automated threshold-based alerts with notification delivery.

With manual data only: Ask the user to provide:

• Current baseline metrics for alert thresholds (rankings, traffic, backlinks)

• Alert priority levels and notification preferences

• Historical data to understand normal fluctuation ranges
