There are some notes and limitations that are important to consider when pulling in data from the SEMrush integration.
- A single keyword query will also cost 100 units. Just so you know, the data available with the SEMrush integration is from the Position Tracking tool only.
- SEMrush is a paying API based on the number of API units consumed for an account. The consumption of API units occurs as follows:
- when you create a new dashboard with the SEMRush integration;
- when you create or edit a SEMRush widget;
- when you clone an existing dashboard with a SEMrush source;
- when you open the current period of a dashboard (either in Edit or View mode) with SEMRush data. This will only be charged once a day though, and you can view a dashboard multiple times a day without additional costs*;
- when you edit an existing dashboard’s sources to add a SEMrush source.
Completed past periods won’t be affected when you consult them because the data is already up to date. meaning DashThis is not fetching new data for those periods.
- To help reduce costs caused by the API unit consumption, DashThis ceases the API requests after 100 results.
- When reordering your widget's results, the sorting will be applied to those first 100 results.
- The data we integrate from Semrush comes from the Position Tracking section.
To ensure that your DashThis data matches what you see in Semrush, make sure you are comparing it with the Position Tracking view specifically, and not the general analytics overview or another section of the platform. - SEMrush's data in DashThis always includes the "Local Pack" results. Make sure to enable the "Local Pack" checkbox in your SEMrush account in order to compare your data.
- SEMrush's data in DashThis is set on "Local" volume by default.
