How can I use the SERP updates and what will it cost me?

You can use the manual SERP updates to renew the SERPs for one or more keywords with just one click. In our Changelog article about the SERP updates you can get a quick overview about this function and its possible uses.

The SERP data can be updated at many points in SISTRIX at the press of a single button. Every one of our packages offers you an inclusive quota of SERP updates that are provided for this purpose. While the keywords used to be counted within the projects, now these SERP updates are available to be used at multiple different points. Here you can find a short summery of the changes about the topic of SERP updates.

Where can I update SERPs manually?

  • In the general keyword overview you can click on “Update” to update that exact keyword. As soon as you requested this update, you will be shown fresh SERP data within a few minutes.
  • In the keyword overview for the project keywords is a corresponding option that you can find via the details about that keyword.
  • Within the domain data, there is a table of keywords which rank for a domain. Here, you can use the checkbox at the head of the table to refresh the data of your chosen keywords.
  • You can also update the SERPs manually within the lists. To do this, simply click on “Update SERPs” at the top right. Afterwards you can either choose to “Update all keywords” or just the ones “Older than 7 days”.

Where can I find an overview of my updates?

The information on how many updates you have already conducted or planned out can be found in the box “Statistics” underneath the overview of your onpage-projects. In this box you can also find the entry “SERP requests made in the current billing period“. The figure behind this entry tells you how many SERPs have been manually requested again, for example in the lists and the domain data.

What costs can I expect?

With every package you will receive an inclusive contingent of updates. As long as you stay within the extent of these updates, no further costs will be coming your way. If you want to use more than what is currently available to you, a SISTRIX dialogue will open, which will notify you of the additional costs and asks you to confirm them.

The bigger the package is, the more updates are included:

  • 2.500 updates in START
  • 15.000 updates in PLUS
  • 40.000 updates in PROFESSIONAL
  • 100.000 updates in PREMIUM

From the PLUS package on you can also request additional updates on top of your included amount. These will be deducted according to usage in the following performance period. Depending on the package, between 0.04 EUR and 0.02 EUR will be charged per update.

If you deposit a keyword with monthly updates, this will result in 4 to 5 requests per month. However, if you deposit it with daily updates, you will have between 28 and 31 requests a month. As soon as the requests go over your quota, costs such as the following could occur:

  • You are using the package PLUS and update a keyword daily: 1.12 EUR to 1.24 EUR (net)
  • You are using the package PLUS and update a keyword weekly: 0.16 EUR to 0.20 EUR (net)
