Yandex Search Engine Package¶
The Yandex Search Engine Package is a downloadable SQL data file that adds Yandex (www.yandex.ru) to SEO Panel’s search engine list. Once imported, you can track keyword rankings in Russia’s dominant search engine — which holds approximately 60% of the Russian search market — using all of SEO Panel’s rank tracking tools.
This package is ideal for businesses and agencies managing SEO for Russian-speaking markets and Eastern Europe / CIS countries.
What It Does¶
Imports a Yandex search engine entry into the searchengines table of your SEO Panel database. Once imported, yandex.ru appears in the Search Engine Manager and becomes selectable in:
- Rank Checker
- Keyword Position Checker
- Search Engine Saturation Checker
- Bulk Keyword Rank Checker (if installed)

Step 1 — Download the package
Download the SQL file from the Yandex Search Engine Package page on seopanel.org.
Step 2 — Import the SQL file
Using phpMyAdmin:
