New report in Search Analysis

You won't pass by the new unique report for trending keywords collection, because you can find it only in Serpstat! And below we have described other important recent updates of the Search Analysis module.

The new Keyword Trends report helps to determine the most popular Google queries at the moment. This will help create the most relevant content for your site, be the first to pick up hot topics and attract more traffic because the data in this report is collected in real time based on the chosen country and city. Find more in the video.

In the report for domain's competitors search and analysis of the Domain analysis module, we have added the option to change the proposed list of competitors, delete irrelevant ones, and save a customized competitors template list. This is especially helpful when social networks and/or aggregators (wikipedia, olx, amazon, facebook) are offered in the list of competitors for your domain.

Been lacking a data gathering process indicator in Keyword Batch Analysis? We added it! Now, after you press "Update data" for the keywords, a green indicator will appear at the top of the project indicating the percentage of the update process. Learn more in the video.

Work in the Keyword Batch Analysis has become easier not only because of the reason above – we have also added the option to create groups and subgroups in the project, so that the keywords can be divided into categories. For example, for content analysis for new pages of the website and convenient work with groups of keywords. Find more about the update in the video.

4.1

Use case: If you work with the structure of the website and your task is to add a list of keywords page by page, groups and subgroups will help you do it right. Get a list of keywords from the Keyword Research or add your own to the report.

Then gradually filter and add the desired keywords to groups or subgroups. This way you get the most efficient pool of keywords that are ready to be added to a particular page.

Each step is described in detail in the Tutorial.
