It is essential to understand search intent to create relevant and targeted content for the audience. Search engines like Google prioritize content that aligns with the user's search intent, making it critical to optimize for it. There are four primary types of search intent: ### Types of Search Intent #### 1. Informational Intent * The user is seeking information on a particular topic or query * Common in educational and research-based websites, blogs, and news sites * Examples: * "how to make a cake" * "what is the capital of France" * "how does a solar panel work" #### 2. Navigational Intent * The user is searching for a specific website or webpage * Often used when the user knows the website they are looking for but cannot remember the exact URL or need help navigating to the desired page * Examples: * "Facebook login" * "Gmail" * "Amazon Prime Video" #### 3. Transactional Intent * User is looking to make a purchase or complete a specific action * Common in e-commerce websites or service-based websites * Examples: * "buy iPhone online" * "book flight tickets" * "order pizza online" #### 4. Commercial Intent * User is looking to compare or research a product before making a purchase decision * Common in review sites, price comparison sites, and product comparison sites * Examples: * "best DSLR cameras" * "iPhone vs. Samsung" * "best laptop for gaming" ### How to filter specific intent? **Step 1:** Navigate to the Organic Traffic module on the Seodity platform.

**Step 2:** Locate the filter button and click on it to open the filter options.

**Step 3:** Select the intent column from the list of available columns in the filter options.

**Step 4:** Choose the specific search intent you want to filter. For example, select "commercial" from the intent column if you want to filter for commercial intent.

**Step 5:** Once you have selected the specific search intent, click on the apply button to see the filtered results that match your selected intent.

### Importance of Search Intent in SEO Understanding search intent is crucial for creating relevant and targeted content for the audience. When the content aligns with the user's search intent, it improves the user experience and increases the chances of the user staying on the website and engaging with the content. It also helps improve the website's search engine ranking as search engines prioritize content that aligns with the user's search intent. ### How to Optimize for Search Intent To optimize for search intent, website owners and SEO professionals need to: * Identify the primary search intent of the target audience * Analyze the top-ranking websites for the target keyword and their content to understand how they align with the search intent. * Create content that aligns with the user's search intent and provides value to the audience * Optimize the content for the target keyword and other relevant keywords * Monitor the content's performance and make necessary changes to improve its alignment with the user's search intent. ### Seodity Modules for Search Intent Seodity offers several modules to help website owners and SEO professionals optimize for search intent. The Organic Traffic, Paid Traffic, Rank Tracker, and Keyword Research modules all have a column for search intent. The search intent column provides information on the primary search intent of the target keyword, making it easier to optimize the content accordingly. For example: * A keyword like "best pizza near me" has commercial intent as the user is looking to compare or research a product before making a purchase decision. * A keyword like "how to fix a leaky faucet" has informational intent as the user seeks information on a particular topic or query. In conclusion, understanding search intent is crucial for any website owner or SEO professional looking to create relevant and targeted content for the audience. With the help of Seodity modules, optimizing for search intent becomes more accessible and effective, resulting in improved website ranking and increased user engagement. Optimizing for search intent involves creating content tailored to the user's needs and aligning with their search's primary goal. This requires a deep understanding of the target audience and the search queries they use to find the content they need. By analyzing the search intent behind a keyword, website owners and SEO professionals can create content that provides the right value to the user and matches their needs. For instance, if a user searches for "buy iPhone online," they have transactional intent, which means they are ready to make a purchase. Therefore, the website that appears in the search results should offer clear and concise product information, reviews, and a seamless checkout process to convert the user. On the other hand, if a user searches for "best DSLR cameras," they have commercial intent, which means they are still in the research phase and looking to compare different products before making a purchase decision. Therefore, the website that appears in the search results should offer detailed and unbiased product reviews, comparisons, and other relevant information to help the user make an informed decision. By optimizing for search intent, website owners and SEO professionals can improve their website's visibility and increase their chances of getting qualified traffic. This is because when the content aligns with the user's search intent, search engines are more likely to rank it higher in the search results. This, in turn, can lead to higher click-through rates, increased user engagement, and, ultimately, improved business outcomes. # Domain and Page Rank ## Domain Rank Domain Rank is a metric that represents the overall authority of a domain based on the quality and quantity of its backlinks. A higher Domain Rank indicates that a website has a more authoritative backlink profile, which often translates to better search engine rankings. The Domain Rank is calculated as the normalized sum of the Page Rank values of all indexed pages on a domain. ### Domain Rank Scale:

Domain Rank	Meaning
2-3	Newly created domains usually receive this score with few backlinks.
20-30	Large domains usually receive this score with many backlinks from authoritative pages.
50+	This score is usually received by huge domains with a significant number of backlinks from authoritative pages; very few domains have such rank scores.

## Page Rank Page Rank is a metric that estimates the authority of a specific webpage based on the quality and quantity of its inbound links. A higher Page Rank indicates that a webpage is perceived as more important and authoritative, which can lead to better search engine rankings. Page Rank is calculated using a formula similar to the original Google PageRank algorithm. Factors considered in Page Rank calculation: 1. The number of inbound linking pages. 2. The number of outbound links on each linking page. 3. The Page Rank of each linking page. 4. The damping factor simulates the probability of a random user continuing to click on links as they browse the web (it is perceived to decrease with each link click). Please note that not all backlinks are equal. Depending on the types of backlinks, they may pass all their Page Rank or none. For example: 1. A 301 link passes all of its Page Rank to the destination page. 2. A 302 link passes the same amount of Page Rank as a regular backlink. 3. A canonical URL passes all of its Page Rank to the destination page. 4. A link with the "nofollow" attribute doesn't pass Page Rank but is still considered a backlink by Seodity. 5. A link with the "ugc" attribute doesn't pass Page Rank but is still considered a backlink by Seodity. 6. A link with the "sponsored" attribute doesn't pass Page Rank but is still considered a backlink by Seodity. ## Using Domain and Page Rank in Seodity's Backlink Module Understanding your website's Domain and Page Rank can help you make informed decisions about your SEO strategy. Here are some ways to utilize these metrics in Seodity's Backlink Module: 1. Analyze your competitors: Research your competitors' Domain and Page Rank to understand their backlink profiles and identify areas where you can improve your website's SEO. 2. Identify high-quality backlinks: Focus on acquiring backlinks from websites with high Domain and Page Rank, as they will significantly impact your website's authority and search engine rankings. 3. Monitor your progress: Regularly review your website's Domain and Page Rank in Seodity's Backlink Module to track your SEO efforts and measure the effectiveness of your backlink-building strategy. 4. Disavow low-quality backlinks: If you find that your website has backlinks from low-quality or spammy websites, consider disavowing those links using Google's Disavow Tool to prevent any negative impact on your website's Domain and Page Rank. # Lost and Active keywords ## What is the Lost/Active Column? The Lost/Active column is a feature available in Seodity's Organic Traffic module, and Paid Traffic module that indicates whether a specific keyword was present or absent in the SERP when Seodity checked it. It provides valuable insight into the effectiveness of your SEO and PPC strategies and helps you identify areas that need improvement. ### Lost * Keywords marked as "Lost" indicate that they were not present in the SERP when Seodity last checked. ### Active * Keywords marked as "Active" indicate that they were present in the SERP when Seodity last checked. ## Why is the Lost/Active Column Important? Understanding the status of your keywords in the SERP is crucial for optimizing your website's SEO and PPC strategies. By monitoring the Lost/Active column, you can: 1. Track your keyword performance over time. 2. Identify areas where your SEO and PPC strategies may be lacking. 3. Make data-driven decisions to improve your website's visibility and search engine ranking. ## Cases of Usage ### Case 1: Monitoring Keyword Performance Regularly checking the Lost/Active column lets you quickly identify which keywords are performing well and which are underperforming. This allows you to adjust your content, SEO strategies, and PPC campaigns to focus on the most effective keywords and improve your website's overall performance. ### Case 2: Competitor Analysis The Lost/Active column can be used to monitor your competitors' keyword performance. By comparing your website's keyword performance to your competitors, you can identify areas where they may outperform you and adjust your strategies accordingly. ### Case 3: Identifying New Opportunities Tracking the Lost/Active column can also help you discover new keyword opportunities. If a keyword is consistently marked as "Lost," it may indicate that there is room for improvement in your SEO or PPC strategy. Optimizing your content and targeting these lost keywords can potentially improve your website's search engine ranking and ad performance. ## How to filter only active or lost keywords? To filter only active or lost keywords in the Organic Traffic module, follow these steps: **Step 1: Go to Organic Traffic** Navigate to the Organic Traffic module in the Seodity platform. This module allows you to track your website's organic keyword performance.

**Step 2: Click the Filter Button** Locate and click the filter button in the Organic Traffic module. This will open the filter options menu.

**Step 4: Click Apply Button** After selecting the desired status, click the "Apply" button to apply the filter. The Organic Traffic module will now display only the keywords marked as either "Lost" or "Active" according to your filter selection.

### FAQ **Q: How often does Seodity update the SERP data for my keywords in the Organic Traffic module?** A: The update frequency for SERP data in the Organic Traffic module depends on the query's search volume and the location's popularity. Typically, it takes around 30 to 90 days for a complete update of this data. However, Seodity strives to deliver up-to-date data for high-volume searches from popular locations like the USA within 60 days.

Consider re-evaluating your content and on-page optimization, as well as researching competitor performance to identify areas for improvement. In the case of PPC, you might need to adjust your bidding strategies or ad targeting. **Q: Can I export the data from the Lost/Active column?** A: Yes, you can export the data from the Lost/Active column in various formats, such as CSV or Excel, for further analysis or reporting. In conclusion, the Lost/Active column is an invaluable tool for tracking keyword performance and optimizing your website's SEO and PPC strategies across different traffic sources. By monitoring the column and using the information provided, you can make data-driven decisions to improve your website's visibility, search engine ranking, and online advertising performance. # Domain Overview {% embed url="" %} {% hint style="info" %} **Good to know:** Pay attention to the "Organic shares" section.

# Data Explorer Data Explorer allows you to fully explore and analyze the data collected by Seodity's crawler. It's designed for technical SEOs who want to go deeper than pre-defined issues and have full control over their data. The Data Explorer allows you to create custom filters based on numerous parameters. This enables you to focus on specific areas of your website's performance and identify trends and patterns that may not be immediately obvious in the raw data. How to set your filters in the Data Explorer: You have two methods for that: 1. You can click on a specific issue, and all of the filters will be set by Seodity.

1. You can do it manually:

From displaying data on a specific property for a segment of pages to screening it out entirely across every crawled page, Data Explorer provides you with a high level of flexibility. With Data Explorer, you're a simple click away from seeing every detail of each specific URL, including incoming and outgoing links, hreflang, pagination, duplicates, and resources. This level of detail can help you to identify and fix technical issues that may be affecting your website's performance. # Performance Performance is an important aspect of any website, as it directly impacts user experience and can affect search engine rankings. The Performance feature in Seodity is designed to help website owners identify and address any issues that may be impacting the speed and overall performance of their site. The performance analysis in Seodity is based on Google Lighthouse, an open-source tool that provides a comprehensive report on the performance of a website. This report includes information on the site's loading speed, speed index, time to interact, and more. To access the Performance tab in Seodity, simply navigate to the On-site tab and select Performance from the drop-down menu. Here, you will be presented with a detailed report that includes information on the site's performance across different devices and connections, as well as specific issues that may be impacting performance. Some of the key areas that Seodity's Performance tab will analyze include: * Loading time: Seodity measures the time it takes for your website to fully load, and provides recommendations for reducing load time. * Time to First Byte (TTFB): This metric measures the time it takes for the browser to receive the first byte of data from the server. A high TTFB can indicate that the server is taking too long to respond or that there are network issues. * Speed Index: This metric measures how quickly the content of a page is visibly populated. A high-speed index can indicate that the page is taking too long to load. * Time to Interactive (TTI): This metric measures the time it takes for a page to become fully interactive for the user. A high TTI can indicate that there are issues with the page's code or resources that are impacting interactivity. * Code Quality: This section of the report will analyze the code on the site and identify any issues, such as broken links, missing alt tags, and more. * Resources: This section will analyze the resources on the site, such as images and scripts, and identify any issues that may be impacting performance. * Resource size: Seodity analyzes the size of your website's resources, such as images, CSS and JavaScript files, and provides recommendations for optimizing and reducing their size. * Code structure: Seodity checks the structure of your website's code, including HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and provides recommendations for improving the organization and efficiency of the code. * Mobile optimization: Seodity checks for issues related to mobile optimization, such as responsive design and touch-friendly elements, and provides recommendations for improving the mobile experience of your website. Once you have reviewed the report, you can use the provided recommendations to address any issues and improve the performance of your site. You can also use the Data Explorer to dive deeper into the data and customize your analysis. And you can track your progress with the performance metrics on a daily basis. By regularly monitoring the performance of your site with Seodity's Performance tab, you can ensure that your site is running at its best and providing a great user experience for your visitors. # Redirect flow Redirect flow allows you to track and manage your website's redirects easily. With this feature, you can see a visual representation of all redirects on your website, including the source URL, the destination URL, and the type of redirect (e.g., 301, 302, etc.).

One of the key benefits of using the redirect flow is that it can help you identify and fix any redirect chains or loops that may be slowing down your website. These issues can occur when multiple redirects are in place, causing the browser to follow multiple redirects before reaching the final destination. By identifying these issues and resolving them, you can help improve your website's performance and user experience. Another key area that redirect flow can help with is identifying redirects that are no longer necessary. For example, if you've recently changed the URL structure of your website, you may have set up redirects to redirect traffic from the old URLs to the new URLs. However, if these redirects are no longer necessary (e.g., if all of the traffic has been redirected), then they can be safely removed, which can help improve your website's performance. Additionally, the Redirect flow can also help you identify any potential crawl errors, as well as any redirects that might be blocking search engines from crawling your website. This is important because if search engines are unable to crawl your website, then it will be difficult for them to index your pages, which can negatively impact your search engine rankings. # Keywords Cloud With Seodity's Keyword Cloud, you can easily analyze the most frequently used keywords on a specific webpage. This powerful tool allows you to gain insight into the language and topics that are most relevant to your webpage's content. To access the Keyword Cloud feature, first navigate to the "On-site" tab in Seodity.

Next, select the "Keyword Cloud" option. Here, you will be prompted to enter the URL of the webpage you want to analyze.

Once you've entered the URL, Seodity will generate a cloud of keywords, with the most frequently used keywords appearing in a darker color. The percentage of usage for each keyword is also displayed, allowing you to quickly see which keywords are most important for your webpage's content.

This feature is particularly useful for identifying the main topics of your webpage, as well as the language and terminology that are most relevant to your audience. It can also help you identify any gaps in your content and make informed decisions about which keywords to target in future content.

# Cannibalization Alert ### Overview This tool is designed to help detect keyword cannibalization, a scenario in which multiple pages from the same website compete for the same keyword, potentially undermining your SEO efforts and visibility. ### How the Feature Works The Cannibalization Alert is represented **as a unique icon**, similar in appearance to the Pacman character eating another one, placed next to specific keywords. When the system detects potential cannibalization, the icon will appear, signaling that multiple URLs from your website compete for the same keyword, thus diluting the SEO impact.

### Use Cases #### Identifying Keyword Cannibalization The primary use case of the Cannibalization Alert feature is to help you identify instances of keyword cannibalization. When you see the icon next to a keyword, this is an indication that there are potentially multiple pages on your website trying to rank for the same keyword. #### Investigating the Issue To dive deeper into the issue, click on the keyword associated with the cannibalization alert. This will open the keyword details view.

In this detailed view, navigate to the section titled "Indexed URLs." Here, you will see a table with columns labeled "URL" and "Position in the SERP".

1. The "URL" column shows the list of your site's URLs that are trying to rank for the selected keyword. 2. The "Position in the SERP" column shows each corresponding URL’s ranking in the Search Engine Results Pages. These data allow you to identify which URLs might be conflicting with each other and causing keyword cannibalization. ### An Example Scenario For instance, suppose you have two blog articles on your website, both targeting the keyword "SEO best practices." After inputting your site and keywords into Seodity, you see the cannibalization alert icon next to "SEO best practices." By clicking the keyword, you are presented with the Indexed URLs section. It shows that two blog post URLs from your site rank for "SEO best practices" their positions are 8 and 10 in the SERP, respectively. This information lets you know that you might need to reconsider your keyword strategy for these pages, perhaps by adjusting the keywords used, combining the content, or redirecting one page to another. ### Conclusion The Cannibalization Alert feature in Seodity's Rank Tracker helps you detect and understand keyword cannibalization on your website. By identifying and addressing such issues, you can optimize your SEO strategy and improve your website's visibility in search results. Remember to regularly monitor your keywords for cannibalization alerts and react accordingly to maintain the effectiveness of your SEO efforts. # Categorize keywords in the Rank Tracker You can categorize your keywords in the Rank Tracker much more quickly and effectively. {% embed url="" %} ## Adding / editing / removing categories ### Adding category to keywords To add a category to the keywords, first, select those keywords, and next, click the category button.

The tool offers three different methods for researching keywords: **Keyword Suggestions**, **Keyword Ideas**, and **Related Keywords**. ## The Keyword Suggestion method It is based on a full-text search for the specified keyword. This means that the algorithm returns only those search terms that contain the keyword. The returned keyword suggestions can contain the words from the specified key phrase in a sequence different from the one you specify.

As a result, you will get a list of long-tail keywords, with each keyword in the list matching the specified search term. Along with each suggested keyword, you will get its search volume rate for the last month, search volume trend for the previous 12 months, as well as current cost-per-click and keyword difficulty values. This information is extremely valuable as it can help you identify the best keywords to target for your business. ## The Keyword Ideas method It is similar to the Keyword Suggestions method, but it focuses on keywords that fall into the same category as the specified seed keywords. This method is useful for discovering new keywords that you may not have considered before. Along with each suggested keyword, you will get its search volume rate for the last month, search volume trend for the previous 12 months, as well as current cost-per-click and keyword difficulty values.

## The Related Keywords method It is based on the "searches related to" element of Google SERP. This method returns keywords that are related to the specified keyword. Along with each suggested keyword, you will get its search volume rate for the last month, search volume trend for the previous 12 months, as well as current cost-per-click and keyword difficulty values.

# How to find long-tail keywords? Seodity's Keyword Research module has always been an essential tool for businesses looking to improve their search engine optimization (SEO) and drive more traffic to their website. And now, we're excited to introduce new filters that make it even easier to find highly specific long-tail keywords for your business. With our filters, you can refine your keyword research to find highly specific phrases your target audience is searching for. By selecting the "greater than", "less than", or "equal to" filter and entering a specific number of words, you can find long-tail keywords that are highly targeted and have less competition than broader keywords. {% embed url="" %} So, how can you use these new filters to improve your SEO and drive more traffic to your website? Here are some examples: #### Example 1: Shoes Step 1: Type a generic Keyword in the keyword input, for example, **Shoes,** and click Search:

Step 2: Click filters and select a specific number of words or greater than, for example, greater than 4:

Step 3: You will get long-tail keywords that can be easier to rank on:

#### Example 2: Digital Marketing Step 1: Type a generic Keyword in the keyword input and click Search:

Step 2: Click filters and select a specific number of word or greater than, fo example less than 4

Step 3: You will get long-tail keywords which can be easier to ranked on:

#### Example 3: Food Blog Step 1: Type a generic Keyword in the keyword input and click Search:

Step 2: Click filters and select a equal to 3.

Step 3: You will get long-tail keywords which can be easier to ranked on:

Incorporating these highly specific long-tail keywords into your content can improve your search engine ranking and drive more qualified traffic to your website. And with Seodity's new filters, finding the right keywords for your business has never been easier. # Backlinks Backlinks, also known as inbound links or incoming links, are links from one website to another. They are an important factor in search engine optimization (SEO) as they signal to search engines that other websites consider the content on your website to be valuable and relevant. In other words, backlinks are a way for search engines to gauge the popularity and authority of your website. In Seodity, our backlink analysis tool allows you to track and analyze the backlinks pointing to your website easily. You can see the number of backlinks, the domain authority of the linking website, the anchor text used, and the type of link (follow or nofollow). This information can help you identify both the strengths and weaknesses of your backlink profile and make informed decisions about link-building strategies.

One of the most important things to keep in mind when analyzing your backlinks is the quality of the links. Not all backlinks are created equal. In fact, having a large number of low-quality backlinks can actually harm your search engine rankings. That's why our backlink analysis tool includes a spam score, which is a metric that indicates the likelihood that a link is from a low-quality or spammy website. By monitoring your spam score, you can identify and disavow any links that may be hurting your search engine rankings.

In addition to analyzing your own backlinks, our tool also allows you to spy on your competitors' backlink profiles. This can give you insights into the link building strategies that are working for your competitors and can help you identify opportunities for your own website.

Another important aspect of backlink analysis is monitoring the anchor text used in the links. Anchor text is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink.

It's important to monitor anchor text because search engines use it as a signal of the topic of the linked page. This means that if a large number of links are using the same anchor text, it may indicate that the website is attempting to manipulate search engine rankings. Our tool allows you to easily monitor the anchor text used in links to your website, so you can identify and address any issues. # Tasks Utilizing Seodity's Task System for Effective Work Organization ### Introduction Seodity's Task system is essential to help you manage your SEO projects and streamline team collaboration.

It involves passing your unique API key that you receive when you register with Seodity, so the server can validate and grant access to the resources requested. The API key should be included in the header of every API request, under the field "Authorization". The key needs to be prefixed with the term "APIKey" followed by a space. So, your HTTP GET request should contain an Authorization header that looks like this: `Authorization: APIKey `. Replace `` with your actual API key.
