Accurate data is essential for successful SEO. With the new Refresh SEO Feature, users can easily access the most up-to-date information, enabling smarter decisions and better results. This feature simplifies the SEO journey, ensuring that all decisions are based on the latest data.

What is the Refresh SEO Difficulty Feature

Ubersuggest has upgraded the SEO. Difficulty (SD) score algorithm, providing more accurate and reliable metrics. The new refresh feature allows users to update the SEO Difficulty (SD) score for each keyword with just a click of a button.

Additionally, a new Updated Column has been added, which shows the date when the SEO Difficulty score was last updated, providing users with complete transparency.

Where Can Users Use the Refresh SEO Feature?

The Refresh SEO feature is available in areas related to keyword research and rank tracking. Users can refresh the SD score of any keyword in the following sections:

Rank Tracking feature:

Keyword Ideas feature:

This feature refreshes the keyword report by retrieving fresh data, and dynamically recalculating the updated SD score in real time.

How to Update the SEO Difficulty Score?

To update the SD score for a single keyword, simply click the revolving arrows next to the keyword.

For bulk updates, users can select multiple keywords and use the "UPDATE METRICS" button at the top of the report. Note that updating multiple keywords at once may take longer, depending on the number of keywords selected.

Is There a Refresh Limit?

The refresh option is limited based on the user's subscription plan. Paid users are granted a set number of credits for refreshing keywords, while free and unregistered users face more restrictive limits. Here is the refresh limits based on subscription type:

Unlogged Users: 0 credits
Free Users: 10 credits
Basic Lifetime Users: 50 credits
Restart Users: 50 credits
Individual Users (Monthly & Lifetime): 200 credits
Business Users (Monthly & Lifetime): 500 credits
Enterprise Users (Monthly & Lifetime): 700 credits

A usage counter appears next to the Update Metrics button, indicating how many credits have been used out of the total available. For example, "6/200" means 6 credits have been used, leaving 194 credits available.

Important Note: One credit equals one keyword refreshed. For example, refreshing 100 keywords at once will consume 100 credits. Refreshing the same keyword multiple times counts as multiple updates.

What Happens When SD Metrics Are Updated?

When a keyword's SEO Difficulty score is refreshed, the updated data is reflected across all Ubersuggest features. For instance, if the SD score is refreshed in the Rank Tracking section, the status will show “NOW” to indicate the update. The same updated SD value will then appear across all other relevant keyword reports, such as in Keyword Ideas.

What to Do When Credits Run Out?

Credits are replenished on the first calendar day of each month. If credits run out before the new month begins, users can purchase additional refresh credits through the Account & Billing section. Each add-on provides an additional 500 credits for USD 5 per month.

Does the Refresh Option Update Other Metrics?

The Refresh button only updates the SEO Difficulty (SD) score. Other metrics, such as volume, cost per click, paid difficulty, and others, will remain unchanged. In the Rank Tracking section, other metrics are updated daily or weekly based on the user’s project tracking frequency.

Why is Refreshing SEO Difficulty Important?

Regularly updating the SEO Difficulty metrics ensures that users are working with the most current data. This allows businesses to make informed decisions, identify trends or issues more quickly, and adjust strategies accordingly. Keeping SEO metrics updated is critical for staying competitive in the ever-changing digital landscape.
