Description SEMrush Sensor

SEMrush Sensor is a sensor that allows you to keep an eye on the volatility of search engine results. The tool displays volatility scores for any activity category at any time. Maintaining or improving one’s position in the search results requires total monitoring of the SERPs stakes. This means that you must be able to interpret phenomena or events that may influence the display of search results. It is precisely for this purpose that SEMrush develops a feature called Sensor which informs you of fluctuations in the SERPs at all times. The tool provides you with data on the volatility of its SERPs locally, internationally and by category of activity. Let’s find out in this description the best features of this tool.

What is SEMrush Sensor?

The popular SEO platform SEMrush has a feature called SEMrush Sensor which broadcasts volatility scores every day.  The higher the score, the greater the volatility of Google’s search results.  As we can see on the graph below, for any category, we have a high volatility score of 6.9 for the last 30 days. Graphique de volatilite elevee de score The Semrush Sensor score is based on a 10-point scale:
  • 0 to 2 is considered weak;
  • 2 to 5 is normal;
  • 5 to 8 is high;
  • 8 to 10 is very high
For example, a Semrush Sensor score between 0 and 4 means it’s an ordinary day with Google’s SERPs.  If a website experiences ranking changes, it is probably because it is updated or the backlink profile changes positively or negatively. If the Semrush sensor score is greater than or equal to 5, the tool detects a significant change in Google’s search results pages.  Ranking positions have changed for many sites in the index and this could be a sign of an algorithm change. When it detects a change, SEMrush shares any publicly known information about the algorithm change. It’s important to keep in mind that Google makes changes to specific elements of its algorithm, as well as general algorithm updates that impact all search results.  SEMrush lets you filter and compare volatility scores by specific topic categories, devices, and countries to identify more accurate Google search algorithm updates.  SEMrush’s sensor also publishes daily changes to specific search engine results page (SERP) features like:
  • Featured snippets;
  • The local package;
  • Shopping results;
  • The knowledge panel or Knowledge Panel;
  • Top stories;
  • Instant responses;
  • The best advertisements;
  • Etc.
The SEMrush Sensor feature gives you the ability to view SERP volatility data for almost every major country in the world.
