DataForSEO Organic SERP Ready Tasks
If you see something like this, it means the queue for Organic SERP tasks from DataForSEO is stuck. DataForSEO only returns a maximum of 1,000 tasks. If the queue exceeds 1,000 tasks and you keep adding more, the SERP Clustering Tool or Organic Rank Tracker will hang indefinitely because the queue operates on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
To resolve this issue, please visit the Services menu item under Settings. Then select the "Free Organic SERP Tasks" action from the DataForSEO actions dropdown.
This process may take some time to complete, ranging from minutes to hours, depending on the number of stuck tasks. During this time, you cannot use the app.
Once all stuck tasks are cleared, SEO Utils will save the SERP data to your local database. You can then reuse this SERP data in the SERP Clustering tool by setting the “Use Saved SERP Data For X Days” field to a value of 1 or higher. This approach helps you save both time and money by avoiding unnecessary SERP data re-scraping.
The Organic Rank Tracker tool is designed to be efficient. It intelligently checks your local database to see if SERP data for a keyword already exists for the current date. If the data is available, it skips re-scraping, saving you both time and resources.
DataForSEO Google Maps SERP Ready Tasks
Similar to the Organic SERP endpoint, the Google Maps SERP endpoint has a queue limit of 1,000 tasks. If your GMB Rank Tracker report has a pending snapshot that remains in a “waiting for new tasks” status for hours, it indicates that the queue is full.
To resolve this issue, please visit the Services menu item under Settings. Then select the "Free Stuck GMB Rank Trackers" action from the DataForSEO actions dropdown.
This action identifies all GMB Rank Tracker reports with pending snapshots and resolves any stuck tasks. Once completed, it updates the snapshot status from “Pending” to “Success”.
This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to complete, depending on the number of stuck tasks. Please note that the app will be unavailable for use during this time.
Final Action: Delete DataForSEO Post Tasks
If the issue persists after running the Free Stuck actions (including Google Maps and Organic SERP Data), you can try the “Delete DataForSEO Post Tasks” action and then re-run the Free Stuck action again.
Warning: This action permanently deletes all posted tasks in your local database that are older than 10 minutes. Once deleted, the data cannot be recovered, even if you have already paid for DataForSEO. Use this option only as a last resort.
