SEMRush data discrepancy I've been comparing a few SEO tools and noticed a significant discrepancy in monthly search volume for a specific keyword between SEMrush and DataForSEO. DataForSEO apparently uses Google AdWords data, while SEMrush states they use a combination of sources. However, the difference is quite large—40 searches per month vs. 100. I haven't been able to confirm whether SEMrush excludes CPC data, which could explain the variance. I understand that different tools rely on distinct metrics and databases, but such inconsistencies make me question the accuracy of the search volume... 2 2 replies
Is attending Google's Search Central Live (NY) good for a resume? I'm a copywriter currently looking for a new role. I do a lot of SEO copywriting besides ad copywriting. Since the current job market is horrible, I'm having trouble landing a position. I applied to attend and got invited to the next Search Central Live in NY. Since I don't live in NY, I'd have to finance the trip myself. I don't mind doing this if it will look good in my resume, help me upskill, and help me land a new job. Does anyone know if attending Google's... 3 0 replies
Does SemRush track searches at the “near me” level? Hypothetically, if 1000 people a month searched “massage therapists near me” (they all live in Texas) and 1000 people searched up “massage therapists Texas” would semrush account 2000 searches for “massage therapists Texas”? And if not is there a way to find out how many people in an area use “near me” terms for a topic? 1 0 replies

Knowledge Panel Updates Without Being Able to Verify? HI- my company acquired another company for which their product matched the name of their company. So think of it like this: * Closed Company Name: LX * Product of closed company name: LX * My company name: AC On Google, when searching for the product name only, it shows permanently closed. Of course, my company is still open and sells this product, and we fear that anyone seeing "permanently closed" might think the product is no longer available. So a long-winded way of getting to the question: How... 3 0 replies
How do you get LinkedIn company page indexed on Google? Hello SEOs, Does anyone here know how to get a LinkedIn company page indexed in Google searches? The page is two months old and has around 10 published articles, none of which are indexed. I've shared the articles on other social media platforms to try to boost their visibility.

Has Search Console gotten worse? I used to spend every day in Search Console five or six years ago. However, I got a new job and wasn’t as focused on ranking for a while. Now I’m back in Search Console on a daily basis and it looks like “average position” for certain keywords or pages is much less accurate than it used to be. For example, if average position was two I could at least trust the page I’m checking would be on page 1 of the SERP. Now I can have a page... 5 0 replies
