Easter is a great time for family get-togethers, exciting games, and other fun activities!
This year, SEMrush community members got a unique chance to take part in our experimental Egg Hunt Game to make Easter even more fun. We decided to challenge our users, so we came up with creative ways to hide 15 Easter eggs in different SEMrush tools. Those who were lucky enough to go all out and find all 15 eggs will be awarded with a list of the 10,000 most searched keywords for 10 countries. The game was not easy and we congratulate all winners who participated!
Are you curious to know where the participants found eggs most often and which parts of the game turned out to be the most challenging?
The infographic below lists all the tools in increasing order of difficulty — from those that were easily searchable to those that were the most difficult to find. We noticed that the Notes egg hidden in Domain Analytics was found by the lowest number (0.50%) of participants, while more than half of all participants managed to find an egg in Position Tracking Tool, one of the oldest SEMrush tools.

In fact, local volume provides you with more detailed insights, because it helps you track results in the areas you’re actually targeting with your website.
