Updates in the Rank Tracker tool

To speed up the initial setup of the project, our developers introduced a new feature Suggested keywords, where you can fetch 1000 unique keywords with the highest volume. To get other keywords, you need to go to the section Website analysis → Domain analysis → Positions.

Previously, the Volume on the Google database was tracked only at a country level. Now you can get volume at a level of a country, region and city. You can see this function in the settings of your project.

Site mirrors are used as sources of the same information. Aliases in the settings will be considered as a mirror of the project. Also, the selection of aliases was removed from the dropdowns.

In the Keywords report, you can find a keyword regardless of its case (upper/lower). We also added the ability to sort phrases not only by frequency, but also by position for 1 day.

We have changed the appearance and logic for keywords' filter . Now you can remove or reset the filter using the quick reset button.

If 1 region is selected in the Keywords section, it will no longer be displayed in a separate column of the report. And the icon for the SERP History can now be found in a separate column.

Now you can close the pop-up of the Keyword storm, Snippets and Position dynamics in the Keywords report by pressing the Escape button. We also added the position dynamics to the tooltip for the position dynamics chart.

New features in the Site Audit

Now during the audit, the user can keep track of the progress (log) of the audit under the progress bar. This will help the user understand at what stage the verification is.

We changed the User agent selected by default. Now it's Google bot, as it works more stable and faster.

Our development team has opened the audit API for public access. It provides such features:

Audit summary export;

getting a list of all checks for the requested audit by category without error details;

receiving elements of the requested verification;

viewing the Error History graph;

getting a list of pages imported or manually entered for scanning;

saving Audit settings;

getting statistics by category.

Serpstat completely closed the old version of the audit. Now all users can see the new updated version.

Changes in the Backlinks Analysis

We have released 6 API methods in public access and transferred them to our index. Coming soon:)
