Track Keyword Rankings Over Time

Rank Tracker monitors where your pages appear in search results for the keywords that matter.

Create a rank project

1. Open Research → Rank Tracker.

2. Click New project.

3. Enter your domain and target country/market.

4. Save the project.

Add keywords

Add the terms you want to monitor. Group related keywords per landing page when possible — this makes it easier to spot which URLs move.

Run a rank check

Trigger a manual check or wait for scheduled runs. Results show:

  • Current position (and change vs last run)
  • Ranking URL on your site
  • SERP features when detected

Multi-engine tracking

Depending on your plan, track rankings across multiple search engines — useful for Bing or regional Google variants.

Use rank data in your workflow

  • Pair rank drops with Website Audit to find technical regressions.
  • Cross-reference with Search Console for click data on the same queries.
  • Export trends for client reporting.

Tips

  • Track brand + non-brand keywords separately.
  • Don't panic on daily fluctuations — watch 7-day and 30-day trends.
  • Add new keywords when you publish content targeting fresh topics.
