Notis

Revisit competitive keyword gaps at every major release

A new version tag prompts Notis to compare your domain with up to four competitors, giving product and growth a shared post-release view.

Trigger

New Repository Tag Created

Triggers when a new tag is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository's tags and fires an event for each newly created tag. The payload includes the tag name, the commit SHA and URL it points to, and archive download URLs.

Action

Compare domains

Analyzes keyword rankings by comparing up to five domains to find common, unique, or gap keywords, using specified organic/paid types and comparison logic in the `domains` string.

Why this helps

Competitive SEO reviews happen on an irregular cadence, so product milestones pass without checking whether the market opportunity has shifted.

  • Anchors competitor research to memorable product milestones
  • Finds keyword gaps that can shape the next release cycle
  • Creates one shared report instead of scattered manual checks

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Semrush in Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis to compare your domain with named competitors in Semrush whenever a major version tag is created.
  • 3Choose New Repository Tag Created and describe the tag prefix that counts as a major release.
  • 4Select the reporting channel and test with a real or test release tag.

Questions about this workflow

How many domains can be compared?

Semrush can compare up to five domains in total, including your own.

Can patch-release tags be ignored?

Yes. Describe the relevant version-tag pattern in the prompt and configure the GitHub trigger accordingly.
