Improving the logic of keyword distribution to clusters

Previously, keywords that didn't fit into any cluster were each displayed in a separate, single cluster, which could lead to having many clusters containing only 1 keyword. Now, all keywords that did not fall into any cluster are grouped into Unsorted.
See more in the video.

Moving keywords between clusters

We fixed the process of moving the keywords found through the search bar from one cluster to another, which could result in an error and the cluster name changing to null.

Distribution of keywords with common URLs

Changing the scale on the Dashboard graphs

For more convenient and easy perception of the dynamics graphs, we have corrected the vertical scale. Previously, the scale began with the value 0, which made the dynamics a bit harder to perceive. Now, the dynamics graphs do not show the entire scale, but only those values in which changes occur with a small margin in both directions.

We fixed a problem when requesting the method of exporting search suggestions and questions with the parameter "withQuestions": false gave out search results containing search questions.

Malicious sites from the German Institute of Information Security

We have increased the base of malicious sites by collaborating with BSI, an information security institute that monitors sites that have been involved in violations of the law. Since such websites were created for fraud, you can check if you have such outbound links in the Malicious sites report.

Ability to exclude irrelevant competitors from the list

Our algorithm shows many social networks, aggregators, and marketplaces in the Competitors report. We check the semantic proximity by a domain or a keyword. As a result, these competitors are ranked by a vast number of keywords and often cover the semantics of the analyzed domain.

It is possible to create your custom competitor template in the report, but now there is an option that completely excludes irrelevant competitors from the report. So now you can save the setting, add all unrelated domains, and continue working with this template.

This message can be closed and will not appear again.
