What’s New in SEOquake

This page tracks the latest SEOquake releases, including new features, report changes, and updates to existing tools. Each release includes links to relevant guides when you need more detail.

SEOquake 4.0

Rollout began: August 10, 2026

Rollout update: We’ve heard your feedback and we’re bringing SEObar back before continuing the rollout. SEObar isn’t available in the initial SEOquake 4.0 release, and SERP Overlay remains unavailable. We’ll update this page when the next release is available.

What Changed in 4.0

  • New report layout: Quick View shows a condensed snapshot of the page. Full Report includes six panels: Page Info, Audit, Keyword Density, Links, Compare, and Semrush.
  • Expanded page audit: The Audit now runs 28 page-level checks, up from 21 in legacy SEOquake: 8 on-page, 2 mobile, 16 technical, and 2 social.
  • A dedicated Semrush panel: Semrush data keeps its place in Quick View and gains a full tab in the Full Report. Core reports and built-in Semrush metrics work without a Semrush account. Connect Semrush for Backlink Profile data. Traffic Analytics appears when the account has access and Semrush has data for the site.
  • More report detail: Full Report adds HTTP status and broken-link handling, expanded image and schema details, social metadata with a share preview, and a PDF Audit export.

Doctype and Encoding are still reported, but they now appear as document information instead of pass-or-fail audit checks. Optional metrics for Internal Links, External Links, and Compare can be managed under Settings, then Parameters.

What Isn’t Included in the Initial SEOquake 4.0 Release

The initial SEOquake 4.0 release does not include the SERP Overlay or SEObar. Based on your feedback, we’re bringing SEObar back in an upcoming SEOquake 4 update before continuing the rollout. SERP Overlay remains unavailable.

Some legacy audit checks, search engine metrics, page-highlighting tools, and custom parameter controls also aren’t included. The Settings page supports exporting and importing 4.0 settings; files exported from legacy SEOquake aren’t compatible.

Which Other Legacy Feature Do You Miss?

We’ve heard your feedback about SEObar and we’re bringing it back. If there’s another legacy feature you relied on that is missing from SEOquake 4.0, submit your feedback.
