Semrush SEO metrics on an Apple TV dashboard at the office

Semrush estimates organic traffic and rankings for any domain, yours and your competitors'. Dance Party turns that into an office display dashboard on Apple TV: your organic keywords and traffic, where you rank against rivals, and which keywords moved, so the content team sees SEO progress without opening Semrush.

What teams running Semrush put on the screen, and what you would ask DJ Agent to get it.

Semrush competitor traffic ranking

For marketing leadership and the content team

Semrush can estimate traffic for any domain, which is its signature. Ranking your site against four competitors by organic traffic turns a quarterly competitive review into a standing screen.

  • Estimated organic traffic for your domain and up to four competitors
  • Organic keyword count for each domain
  • Organic traffic cost, what that traffic would cost as ads

Ask DJ Agent“Rank our domain and four competitors by Semrush organic traffic in the US database, with organic keyword counts for each.”

Semrush keyword position movers

For SEO specialists and writers

Semrush stores each keyword's current and previous position. Showing the top keywords with the direction they moved tells the writers which pages gained and which slipped since the last update.

  • Top organic keywords by traffic share
  • Current position and previous position for each
  • Search volume and the ranking URL

Ask DJ Agent“List our top Semrush organic keywords in the US database with current position, previous position and search volume, and color the ones that dropped.”

Semrush backlink profile

For link building and digital PR

Semrush builds its Authority Score largely from the links pointing at a site. Keeping total backlinks, referring domains and the follow share on the wall shows whether outreach is adding links that count.

  • Total backlinks and referring domains
  • Follow and nofollow backlinks

What Dance Party reads from Semrush

Dance Party reads Semrush's Analytics and Backlinks APIs with your API key. Semrush data covers any domain you name, not just your own, and every read spends Semrush API units from your balance.

How to connect Semrush

Before you start

  • An owner or admin of your Dance Party workspace makes the Semrush connection.
  • A Semrush Business plan. Semrush only issues API keys to Business subscriptions.
  • Semrush API units on the account. A new Business plan starts with none, and they are bought separately.
  1. 1
    In Semrush, open your profile menu, then Subscription info, then the API Units tab. Check you have units, then copy your API key.Open the Semrush API page ↗
  2. 2
    In Dance Party, open Integrations and click Connect Semrush.
  3. 3
    Paste it into the API key field, then Save. It is the API key from Semrush, not your Semrush password.
  4. 4
    The card shows Connected. Semrush has no free test call, so the key is first used when DJ Agent previews your domain, and any plan or unit problem is named there.

One Semrush connection per workspace

A workspace holds one Semrush API key. Because Semrush reports on any domain, that one key covers your own sites, your clients' sites and your competitors, limited only by your API unit balance.

The Semrush Analytics API only returns reports, so the key cannot change your Semrush projects. Every read does spend API units, which is the reason to keep SEO widgets on a daily refresh. Regenerate the key in Semrush to cut Dance Party off.

From Semrush to your office display

Once Semrush shows Connected, the rest happens in plain English. No code, no drag-and-drop.

  1. 1. Describe it. Tell DJ Agent what you want to see.

Semrush dashboard questions

Can I show Semrush data on a TV in the office?

Yes. Connect Semrush with its API key, describe the SEO dashboard, and assign it to an Apple TV running Dance Party.

Which Semrush plan do I need?

Business. Semrush only offers API access on the Business plan, and you also need API units, which are bought separately.

Does a Semrush dashboard use API units?

Yes. Every refresh spends units from your Semrush balance. Semrush data changes daily at most, so a daily refresh is the sensible setting.

Can I compare my site with competitors?

Yes. Semrush reports on any domain, so a widget can rank your site against several competitors by organic traffic or keywords.

Can it chart our Semrush traffic over the past year?

No. Dance Party reads the current Semrush overview for a domain, not its history, so boards show where you stand today.

Does it read my Semrush Position Tracking projects?

No. Dance Party reads Semrush's domain-level databases, not your Projects. Keyword positions come from Semrush's organic research data.

Why did my Semrush widget say API units are exhausted?

Your Semrush unit balance hit zero. Buy more units or wait for the balance to renew, and the widget picks up again on its next refresh.

Put Semrush on every office display

Connect Semrush, describe the dashboard, and it runs on an Apple TV, refreshing on its own.
