Snippets

Snippet

A short description of a site that is displayed on a search results page. It tells user what is the page about, so he decides whether to open it or not.

Snippet consists of the page URL, title and description. Description is generated by search engine based on description of the page and its content. Snippets are collected for the first 5 competitor sites for free.

SERP Snapshots

Snapshots

TOP sites from search results.

Snapshots help you collect TOP pages for an unlimited number of queries, view snippets and relevant pages of all sites from TOP. As well as find your competitors from search results, view their best pages and use them to promote your site.

You can choose a depth of Snapshots tracking, that is the number of sites from the TOP that the robot will collect (from 20 to 100), as well as tracking snippets of sites from the TOP. There is no limit on the number of requests for which Snapshots can be collected.

Subdomains

If your website has subdomains, turn on subdomain checking when checking rankings. We recommend set up projects for sites with subdomains as follows:

• specify main domain as the project URL, for example, website.com;
• turn on checking subdomains.

Then, it doesn't matter whether the main domain or a subdomain is ranked in results: the robot will determine a position of the site according to the query in both cases. On a relevant page, you will see exactly what is ranking in the search engine: main domain or a subdomain. Positions of all subdomains can be checked within one project.

If each subdomain has its own queries, for example, containing toponyms (“buy an apartment in New York”, “buy an apartment in Los Angeles”), create a separate project for each group of queries. You can specify the main domain in all projects and check subdomains, or specify subdomains as URL of the projects at once.

Search filter

Search engines have different filters that allow you to regulate the presence of unwanted content in search results. Unwanted content usually refers to “adult” resources, websites containing profanity, and images of violence and cruelty. Read more about filters in Yandex and Google.

The option applies to all search engines in the project if the search engine itself has such a filter. If there is no such filter in search settings, the option will not be applied when checking rankings.

Traffic segmentation

Чтобы в проекте отображался трафик, интегрируйте Яндекс.Метрику и Google Analytics в Настройках проекта. По умолчанию Трафик сегментируется по регионам. То есть если вы проверяете позиции в регионе Москва, вы увидите трафик только из региона Москва. Чтобы видеть трафик из всех регионов, независимо от того, в каком регионе проверяются позиции, выберите Общий трафик.
