3. Select the location, device, and date

   • • When you select a campaign, your report will appear on the screen. If your campaign includes multiple locations and/or devices to track (ie. both mobile and desktop), you can filter by location and device type.

     • Location: If you are tracking keywords in more than one area, you can view your campaign’s performance for all locations or narrow down the list using the “Location” filter.                     

     • Device Type: If you choose both Mobile & Desktop when setting up your campaign, you will be able to switch between mobile or desktop on the keywords report page.               

     • Date Range: Allows you to analyze keyword performance according to a specific day, week, month, or all time.

Filtering the report

The Keywords report contains additional filters that allow you to further organize your report and drill down into your keyword performance.

Filter keywords by Tags: 

Tags are an efficient way to group keywords together by page type. For example, you can track keywords by a selected category such as “pants”, then you can use the “tags” filter to include or exclude specific groups of keywords and deep dive into your performance for that tagged category.

Filter keywords by SERP Features: 

Easily discover and filter by SERP features. With this filter, you can view which features appear for a particular keyword or keyword set. 

You can see where your website ranks for a specific SERP feature such as “People also ask”, paid ads, or feature snippets, allowing you to dissect the SERP and analyze your performance in greater depth.  

Filter by keyword position 

Filter keywords according to where you're positioned on the SERP, or filter by whether your position improved, declined, or stayed the same.

FAQs

Q: There are columns in the table that are not relevant in the report table to me. Can I customize this?

A: Yes! Go to the column settings of the table on the top right of the table. It will show the number of columns available and the number of columns showing. Select/de-select columns you would like to show or hide from the table. Drag & drop columns into the order you prefer to see them in the table. This setting will be saved as your preference for all your campaigns automatically. 

Q: How do I edit my tags or edit keywords?

A: Click on the checkbox next to the keyword and a banner will appear to edit tags (add, edit, or remove) or to remove keywords. You cannot add keywords directly through the Keywords Report. To add keywords to your campaign, go to the campaign settings (directly from reports or from the homepage campaign card).

Q: Why are some of my keywords that are similar (but not the exact same) getting the same monthly search volume?

A: There are a couple of possibilities for this:

1) If you are looking at keywords for a local area (i.e. anything but country level), we get the volume directly from Google. Google’s volume is not as accurate as Similarweb's volume.

2) It is possible that similar keywords have the same volume (e.g. Pizza Near Me and Pizza Nearme)

Q: Is this report available on the API? 

A: Yes! You can access and use API Endpoints for Keyword Position Trends data and Keyword Snapshots data. All the information you need is on the individual Developer Hub pages for Keyword Position Trends endpoint and Keyword Snapshots endpoint.
