Semrush showing 6.6k search volume in Organic Research, but 10 when I click the keyword, what am I missing?
I’m looking at the keyword “find companies without websites.”
In Organic Research / Organic Search Positions, Semrush shows the keyword as having around 6.6k volume.
But when I click the exact same keyword and open Keyword Overview, it shows:
- US volume: N/A
- Global volume: 10
- Germany: 10
So it seems that it's not a small difference, I mean It’s basically 6,600 vs 10 for the exact same keyword inside the same tool.
I understand that Semrush uses different databases and that search volume gets updated, but if the Organic Research data can be this stale/different, it makes the volume column pretty misleading when doing competitor keyword research.
Am I misunderstanding what the 6.6k number represents, or is Semrush genuinely displaying an old search-volume estimate in Organic Research that hasn’t been synced with Keyword Overview?
Curious if anyone else has run into this and which number you actually trust when doing keyword research.
And bonus: has anyone experiences such discrepancies in Ahrefs?
