SerpAPI Integration

SerpAPI provides real-time search engine results data, enabling keyword research, rank tracking, and competitive analysis.

• API key with sufficient quota

For managed Iverton AI, SerpAPI is included in your plan.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"No search volume data"

• Low-volume keywords may not have data
• Try broader keyword variations
• Check that the location is correct

"Rank not found"

• Your URL may not be in top 100 results
• Verify the exact URL being tracked
• Check for regional variations

"API quota exceeded"

• Wait for quota reset (usually daily)
• Reduce tracking frequency
• Consider upgrading SerpAPI plan

"Audit taking too long"

• Large sites take longer to crawl
• Try auditing specific pages instead
• Check if the site is blocking the crawler

Data Discrepancies

If Iverton AI data differs from Google Search Console:

• SERP positions can vary by location, device, personalization
• GSC shows average position; SERP tools show specific queries
• Data collection timing may differ
• Both are valid but measure differently

Disconnecting SEO Tools

Removing SerpAPI Configuration

For self-hosted deployments:

1. Remove the SERPAPI_KEY from your environment variables
2. Restart the application

For managed Iverton AI, SEO tools use shared quota and cannot be individually disconnected.

Stopping Rank Tracking

To stop tracking keywords:

1. Go to SEO → Rank Tracker
2. Select the keywords to stop tracking
3. Click Remove or Delete

This stops API calls for those keywords and removes them from tracking.

Clearing SEO Data

To remove historical SEO data:

1. Go to SEO → Settings
2. Click Clear History
3. Select what to clear (rankings, audits, keyword research)
4. Confirm deletion

warning

Clearing SEO data is permanent and cannot be undone.
