Search Keywords Dataset

Discover the website keywords driving traffic to uncover search opportunities and help build your winning digital marketing strategy

Keyword Analysis provides a deep-dive into any keyword on the web to discover the competitive landscape for any search term.

Keyword Analysis measures actual traffic generated by a particular keyword to a particular site from any search engine - not just a snapshot of the keyword position on the results page. In addition, it includes information on CPC, volume, website position, and landing pages related to the SERP.

🚧

When generating a report, make sure all metrics are supported by same granularity as the requested report.

👨‍🏫

Data credits are Similarweb's currency. Keywords are calculated as 1:25 (data credit:result) and for site_keywords the calculation is 1:100.

As pricing may vary from report to report you can estimate the total credit amount for each report generated by our Request-Validate endpoint.
