Notes

Notes on SEMrush allow you to highlight dates in graphs and charts in certain SEMrush tools and reports with custom information. Users also have the ability to add and edit their own notes, and SEMrush automatically adds notes on days with major Google updates and SEMrush database updates that could have an effect on rankings.

Notes can be found on graphs in:

• Advertising Research reports
• Organic Research reports
• Backlinks reports
• SEMrush Sensor
• Position Tracking
• Domain Overview
• Site Audit
• Backlink Audit
• Organic Traffic Insights
• My Reports

Position Tracking notes can be added to a specific campaign and will not show up with your general notes in Organic or Advertising research reports. 

There are several different types of notes you’ll see in SEMrush:

1. Google organic algorithm updates (depicted by the “G” Google icon)
2. Google paid algorithm updates (depicted by the “G” Google icon)
3. Unconfirmed Google updates (these are hidden by default)
4. SEMrush updates (depicted by red diamond)
5. My Notes (user generated and depicted by red diamond)
6. SEMrush Sensor (depicted by red diamond)
