    When you add keywords, but still don't get any data for the main metrics, hover your mouse to "N/A" to see if the keyword is still being process or if not, why.

    How are credits charged?

    Keyword batch analysis uses both Search analytics and Tools credits, depending on the operation.

    Search analytics credits are shared among Domain analysis, URL analysis, Keyword research, Backlink analysis, and Keyword batch analysis.

    Tools credits are shared among Keyword batch analysis, Domain batch analysis, AI tools, Keyword clustering, and Text analytics.

    Search analytics credits

    Adding keywords to a project: number of credits equals the number of chosen search regions. The number of keywords does not matter.

    Example: (15 keywords * 0) + 5 search regions = 5 credits are charged.

    Keyword collection: number of keywords * number of search regions * number of reports = number of credits. Credits are charged after the collection process.

    Example: 15 keywords * 1 search regions * 2 reports = 30 credits.

    So, when you create a project and choose to collect keywords from 4 reports, credits are charged like so:

    Example: 2 search regions + (100 keywords * 2 search regions * 4 reports) = 802 credits.

    Tools credits

    Volume update: number of keywords * number of search regions * 2 = number of credits. (1 keyword = 2 credits)

    Example: 15 keywords * 5 search regions * 2 = 150 credits are charged.

    SERP update: number of keywords * number of search regions = number of credits.

    Example: 15 keywords * 5 search regions = 75 credits are charged.

    Adding keywords to the Serpstat database: free of charge.

    Export requires export rows for Search analytics (sites, keywords and links analysis).
