Which Search Engines Can be Analyzed in Semrush?

Most of our tools work only with Google search engine. For search engine rankings and keyword analytics, we use third party data providers to collect Google’s actual search results pages for the 543 million most popular keywords. We study both organic search results, as well as paid search results to give you a complete picture of any website’s visibility on Google.

In the Position tracking tool, you can track your keywords positions on Google and Baidu (top 50 results on SERP), but other search engines aren’t available. As of now, tracking results on Baidu is available on the national level only. You will find the setup manual here.

The Traffic Analytics tool (Traffic Journey Report), which is a part of the .Trends solution, allows you to estimate how much traffic a website receives from different search engines such as Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yandex, Baidu etc depending on the filters you apply (Date, Location, Devices).
