Semrush Position Tracking

[JohnSmith88]

Hi

I have recently started working heavily with SEO. My company has two websites one for our services and a newer one for our product. I have been making changes and tracking the progress on Semrush. I'm seeing the improvements for the services one but our product is still not tracking. Google Analytics and Search Console shows we are getting some traffic but it is still not tracking the keyword positions on Semrush. We have quite a lot of content on the site tailored to target our keywords. Moreover, we thought it was a crawling issue but the site has since been crawled multiple times and still there is no data on Semrush.

I have reached out to Semrush and they suggested this is because our keywords on Semrush don't match the search queries on Google Search Console. As far as I know Google generates these and you cannot add them.

Would anyone be able to help with this issue?

- is there a way to add search queries to Search Console?
- any other ways ensure position tracking on Semrush?
- could it just be that we are not positioning for the top 100 search results?

Cheers!

Run a site search on Google, using site:yourdomain.com in the search bar.
Are your product pages in there? My website has taken a good 2 months to start getting pages into the index, albeit ranking poorly.

Have you used a new domain for your products or is this under a subdirectory of your original domain? Domain age is a ranking factor and obviously it wont have any authority until you get some links to it as well.

Check the search console under Performance tab. You can see queries in there and the impressions and position.

There's a good chance you aren't ranking anywhere for the terms you have specified on Semrush.
