Projects Dashboard Widgets

The Semrush Projects Dashboard provides you with small-scale widgets of data related to your current Projects. These widgets will provide you with a snapshot of some of the most important metrics associated with Semrush's tools.

There are two main ways to see a domain on your dashboard.

1. Add it to the My Competitors section where it says “Add domain”
2. Create a Project to track various metrics about the site

This quick guide will help you better understand what all of the metrics on the dashboard mean.

My Competitors Domain Analytics metrics

• Organic Keywords: The number of keywords bringing users to the website via Google's top 100 organic search results.
• Organic Traffic: The number of users expected to visit the website in the following month or year on condition that average monthly organic traffic stays relatively the same.
• Paid Keywords: The number of keywords bringing users to the website via Google's paid search results.
• Paid Traffic: The number of users expected to visit the website in the following month or year on condition that average monthly paid traffic stays relatively the same
• Authority Score: A metric used to gauge a domain’s overall quality and influence on SEO. The score is based on the domain’s backlink profile and traffic.

The percentages (%) below each number represent the domain's change in the respective metric when compared to the previous month or year (if you select “year” in the button above the widget). Click on any of these graphs to open up a deeper report. 

The My Competitors widget supports root domains, subdomains, and subfolders. The Organic/Paid traffic and Organic/Paid keywords metrics can be shown for a subdomain or subfolder. Referring Domains and Authority Score will be shown for the root domain.

The maxim number of competitors that can be added here is 30.
