SEMRUSH Has Added Google India Search Database & Why It Matters 1

SEMRUSH has been my favorite search engine tool for the past few years. I have written about it multiple times in the past, and I have also shared how to use it for content marketing and SEO optimization. If you have missed reading these articles, I highly recommend that you read through them. Here are the previously published SEMRUSH articles:

One of the reasons why most Indian bloggers and Indian startups use SEMRUSH is the absence of Indian search databases. Last week SEMRUSH added the Google search India database, and this is big news for Indian publishers and the India SEO industry in general.

In this guide, I will show you how to use the new Google India search database for your benefit.

How to use the Google search India database for your benefit:

It would be best if you open SEMRUSH  and use it along with your reading of this guide.

Find profitable keywords:

SEMRUSH makes it easier for even a non-technical user to find relevant and valuable keywords effectively. You can enter any domain such as flipkart.com, snapdeal.com, etc., and see what keywords they are ranking for. This is the easiest way for Indian startups and upcoming e-commerce sites to tap the existing profitable keywords of their competitors or popular Indian sites.

Also, you can quickly find related keywords and long tail keywords. You should always tend to long tail keywords, as they can bring you highly targeted search traffic. Here is an example of long tail keywords (phrase match keywords) suggested for target keywords “online shopping sites”:

Create micro-niche site in easy steps

Using the above report, you can create a micro-niche site easily. I have already shared a case study of a micro-niche site I have built. Here is a report for the keyword “Micromax”, which is a popular Indian mobile brand:

From the keyword report, you can see how easy it is to create a micro-niche site related to Micromax. A blog or website of this type has every reason to be profitable.

Check any site performance in Google India search:

You can also see how a site is performing in Google India search, whether your own site or the sites of your competitors. This gives an excellent overview of a site’s past and current situation. This feature shows a graph showing the visibility of the site keywords in the search engine.

Here is an example from one popular Indian government jobs site:

As you can see from the graph, that site keyword ranking in search has gone down in the past month. If this is the case for your site, it’s time for you to do a complete SEO audit of your site.

Note: SEMRUSH has  a site SEO audit feature, which is one of the best in the SEO market.

See live ad copies for any keyword or domain:

This particular feature will be used and appreciated by marketers, affiliates, and internet marketing companies. You can see the ad copies for your target keywords that are running live via Google AdWords.
