To maximize your digital marketing strategy, you need the right tools to make quick and informed decisions. SEOquake provides valuable insights, from SERP analytics to page diagnostics, helping you refine your strategy and stay ahead.

SEObar

When you’re on a landing page and want more insights, the SEObar makes it easy. Just enable it in settings by selecting “Show SEObar,” and you’ll instantly see SEOquake’s key metrics for that page. This gives you a quick, effortless way to analyze any landing page and uncover valuable data.

SEOquake – The Times

If the SEObar isn’t your style, you can access the same data by clicking the SEOquake icon. This opens a popup with even more detailed insights about the page you’re on.

The panel displays six key metrics at the top: Alexa Rank, Google Index, Bing Index, Semrush Rank, and Semrush Link Domain. These are grouped into three sections:

  • Page Metrics – Data specific to the landing page.
  • Domain Metrics – Insights for the entire domain.
  • Backlink Metrics – Links for both the page and domain.

You can also explore additional SEOquake features using the tabs at the top of the panel.

SERP Overlay

When researching keywords, you’ve probably Googled a term to see who’s ranking. Instead of manually checking each result, the SEOquake SERP Overlay gives you instant insights right from the search results page.
