A group of news articles that appear on the SERP, usually in response to a search query related to a specific topic.

The SERP Analysis feature lets you analyze the top 50 pages ranking for any keyword and find the most influential ranking factors.
- 01 Enter any keyword
- 02 Collect data on the top 50 competitors

1.1. To initiate the analysis

1.2. Get all important data in one dashboard
The top part of the dashboard is a quick summary of SERP stats, while the bottom part is the table with the data for all 50 ranking pages.
- Gauge keyword potential at a glance
A quick way to estimate keyword potential is to look at keyword difficulty vs search volume. Keywords that have very strong competitors but bring little traffic are unlikely to be worth your effort. - Find main ranking factors
For each keyword, the free SERP checker finds if there is a correlation between different ranking factors and the pages’ actual position in search. Sometimes it’s more important to compete on backlinks, while other times you might have better luck optimizing for user experience. This feature removes the guesswork and tells you the best area to focus on. - Analyze search results in-depth
We calculate the difficulty rating based on the backlink profile of a competitor. In particular, we look at the number of links to a page and a domain as well as the number of linking domains. This information is available for each of the top 50 search results.
- See keyword and traffic stats
For each competitor, we also look at the overall presence in search. We track the number of keywords that the domains rank for as well as the amount of traffic they are likely to attract through their positions in search. This information is also available for each of the top 50 search results. - See UX metrics for each competitor
User experience is a costly thing to optimize. The good news is that you don’t need a perfect score, you just have to be slightly better than your competitors in SERP. And with our data, you’ll know exactly what the benchmark is.

When search engines update their ranking algorithms, for many websites positions and rich feature arrangements may change.

The graph depicts recent and historical changes in the top 30 search results in each of your target search engines, for any individual keyword separately or for all your keywords together. Red spikes on your graph indicate that the real-time SERP has changed significantly on that day, implying a possible algorithm change.
