Search Analytics

It's no surprise that search analytics is one of the most popular Serpstat tools. It is impossible not to pay attention to the number of large-scale changes in the reports for the analysis of keywords and sites:
Search analytics was completely moved to React!
React is about improved design and service experience.
We have optimized the speed of the reports. Of course, we do not stop and continue to accelerate :)
Completely new features have been added to the service: sending keywords to Rank Tracker from search analytics, convenient search through report pages, copying data to the clipboard.
API updates
Using the API, you can get a list of questions from suggestions or analyze words from interrogative phrases. There is also a method available to get a list of competitor domains by PPC.
New parameter in reports
A new parameter in the Competitors report appeared - Missing Keywords.
Cleaning the databases and an improved traffic algorithm
