Keyword Tracking FAQs:
Where does the keyword data come from?
You’ll see the Semrush logo on many of the tooltips attached to our different keyword research tools. That logo on a tooltip means that Semrush powers some or all of the data presented. We are thrilled to be working with Semrush as a data partner for several toolsets.
In addition, we work with a number of other data providers who provide SERP data and social data to enrich our toolset.
Is there a limit on the number of domains or URLs I can favorite?
No.
Does the data not match what I see in Google Search Console?
That’s correct. For your own domain, Google Search Console is going to be the best source of truth for ranking and traffic performance.
Can I integrate with Google Search Console?
Not yet, but this is something that we are working on.
Is there a limit on the number of reports I can generate?
No.
