Having accurate data is vital for successful SEO. With Refresh SEO Feature, you'll always have the latest info at your fingertips, helping you make smarter decisions and get better results. Let's explore how this feature can make your SEO journey smoother and more effective.

What is the Refresh SEO Difficulty Feature

We've updated our tool with a new version and improved the SEO Difficulty (SD) score algorithm. This improvement ensures that the scores you see are more precise and reliable.

We've added a new feature to ensure you always work with the latest data. Now, you can refresh each keyword's SEO Difficulty (SD) metric simply by clicking a designated button.

In addition to the SD column, we've introduced a new column called the Updated Column. This column shows the date of the last update for the SEO Difficulty score, so you know exactly when the information was last refreshed.

In the areas related to Keywords, such as Keyword Research and Rank Tracking, users can refresh the SEO Difficulty (SD) of any keyword.

Rank Tracking feature:

Keyword Ideas feature:

This innovative feature refreshes the keyword report by incorporating the most up-to-date SEO Difficulty (SD) data. It entails retrieving fresh data to dynamically compute the updated SD score in real-time.

How to Update the SEO Difficulty Score

To update the SD metric score, you can either click the revolving arrows in case of updating a single keyword.

Also, you can choose multiple keywords and then utilize the "UPDATE METRICS" button at the top of the report. This allows for bulk updating of the SEO Difficulty (SD) scores.

So that you know, the duration for refreshing these metrics may increase as you select more keywords simultaneously.

Is There a Refresh Limit?

The refresh option is subject to a monthly limit, and the frequency of refreshments varies based on the user's subscription plan. Paid accounts are granted access to a default number of refresh credits, while free and unregistered users encounter more stringent limitations.

The limits are as follows:

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 is available right beside the Update Metrics button.

For example, if you look at the count (290/500), this means that 290 credits out of the 500 were used, and there are only 210 credits left, and so on.

NOTE

It´s important to highlight that one credit corresponds to 1 keyword refreshed, if you refresh keywords in bulk, for example, 100 keywords at once the counter will show 100 credits used.

Finally, if you click on Refresh Metrics multiple times for the same keyword, each time will count as one update. It is not possible to cancel the update if clicking by mistake.

What Happens When I Update SD Metrics?

Each time you choose a keyword and refresh its SEO Difficulty score, you'll receive the most up-to-date data determined by the factors utilized in calculating SD.

How does SEO Difficulty work?

When you refresh the SD metric for a keyword, the updated score will also apply to the exact keywords across all other Ubersuggest features.

For instance, if you've refreshed the metric in the Rank Tracking feature:

After updating it, the status will change to “NOW.”

After that, if you check that keyword, “search for engines” in Keyword Ideas, you will see the same Updated status and SD value as Rank Tracking:

That said, refreshing the SD metric will update it across all relevant Keyword reports.

My Credits Ran Out. What Now?

The default number of credits is replenished on the first day of each month.

If you exhaust your refresh credits before the start of the new month, you can easily purchase a Refresh Credit Metric Add-on directly from the Account & Billing section.

This will expand the default limits to 500 additional credits. Each add-on costs USD 5 per month.

Does the Refresh Option Update Other Metrics Apart From the SD?

It's important to note that clicking the "Refresh" button only updates the SEO Difficulty metric score. Other metrics, such as Volume, Cost Per Click, Paid Difficulty, etc., remain unchanged.

If you're in the Rank Tracking section, remember that all other metrics are updated daily or weekly, depending on your Project Rank Tracking Frequency setting.

Lastly, refreshing the SEO Difficulty metrics is crucial to ensure users have control and that the metrics used for performance measurement are current and accurate. Regularly updating metrics allows businesses and organizations to make informed decisions based on the latest data, spot trends or issues faster, and adjust their strategies accordingly.
