Use Cases

Enter your domain name into the search bar on Serpstat and click ‘Search’. Browse to ‘SEO Analysis / Competitors’ where you’ll see your direct competitors based on common keywords. Missing Keywords is your high-priority SEO goal here as it returns keywords you’re not ranking for, unlike your competitor.

Create a project for your domain in the List of Projects and launch Site Audit. Upon audit completion, go to Site Audit / Meta Tags. The section contains reports on duplicate titles and descriptions. The last step would be fixing these in one of the suggested ways:

• remove the duplicate page from the site
  
• add the Disallow directive for duplicate pages to the robots.txt
  
• set meta tags «rel=canonical» and «meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"» on the duplicate pages.

Upon the completion of the side audit, you'll see excessive redirects under Site Audit/ Redirects. The report shows pages linking to the redirected page, which wastes crawling budget and reduces loading speed. We recommend setting direct links to the destination page. 

Pages returning 4xx codes or the so-called broken links can harm your rankings, especially if you’ve got lots of such pages. You can easily identify these 4xx pages in Site Audit / Page Staus Code. The report returns URLs with 4xx response codes and pages linking to broken URLs. You need to either remove the broken links or fix the 4xx pages.

The website loading times have become the crucial ranking signal in the era of mobile-first indexing. The Site Audit / Loading Speed report shows issues affecting the site loading times on mobiles and desktops, as well as suggestions on how to fix them.

Rankings fluctuations can be panic-inducing, but should you be actually concerned? SERP changes and rankings jumpings are quite common things. But how can you know if you should blame yourself for recent ranking flux or it’s the SERP, namely Google introducing/testing some algo? The answer is, compare your own fluctuation to your competitors. Click the arrow to expand the Storm chart for a keyword. If you’re fluctuating a lot, but the positions around you in Top10 are also fluctuating (high percent on the chart) , don’t freak out, you’re not doing something wrong or bad, it’s just the SERP volatility.
