Site Explorer > Keywords & Traffic

Currently it is not possible to directly setup requirements for a report. When looking for specific organic keywords, including filters and a comparison, we easily use 3/4 credits per use. As it is not possible to directly access the organic keywords report, including desired parameters, users are currently wasting their credits on reports and overviews they do not want to see. The site explore should not only contain a 'url' input, but also directly give us the ability to assign filters, parameters and the report we'd like to see. This way we will not be obligated to spend 4/5 credits for one report. bookmarking and changing url's to use only 1 credit for this is not a solution but a workaround for this lacking feature. It would be great if this option would be inserted and users are able to spend their credits efficiently.

I would love to have ability to filter Organic positions graph to better understand what has happend in Google with the web. Because graph with 1-100 positions is not easy to read. Filter to 1-20 and 1-10 position will definitely make the graph readeble for me.

It would be fantastic to have a tool that estimates volume of branded and non branded traffic (shares and total). Semrush gives it but not for all countries and sometimes it is wrong regarding brand term.. with ahrefs actually we have to calculate it manually filtering with brand keywords and exporting full referring terms / estimated traffic..

When I run a site explorer report and look into the keywords of another site and then export them, I'd like to know which keywords are ones I already have on a keyword list or tracking. That way I can filter around these things when looking at it in Excel

In the settings, there's a customize report option to pick what information you want in your various reports. Just check the boxes next to the data columns you're interested in exporting. This way, you can select exactly what details to include per type of report. If there are specific columns you don't need, like 'Language', 'Platform', 'Referring page', 'HTTP code', and 'Target page HTTP code', you can simply uncheck them. This helps you tailor the reports to only show what's important for you, making them more useful and easier to read. Which will save the manual labour of hiding columns to clean up each export.

You can filter by "KD", however, there is no actual column showing the KD of the top keyword. Not sure if this this intentional design or a oversight but it would be useful to have it added as its own column.

It would be great if a report like "link intersect" and "content gap" would exist for keywords under organic research.

I recommend saving the keyword filter settings so that they "stick" across multiple multiple reports for different keywords. For example, I run a keyword report on one keyword in Keyword Explorer and set a filter based on position and keyword difficulty. Then if I enter a different keyword to run another report, all of the filtering settings reset to their default state, and the position and keyword difficulty filter disappear and need to be re-entered. Instead, it would save time if these settings would stick across multiple reports, then you could add a button to "clear filters" or "reset filter to default".

In the Top Pages export function I'd like to have a "include top keywords" checkbox to be able to include the top 10-20 keywords for each page in the export file. Similar to how I can include SERPs when exporting keywords in the Keyword Explorer.
