Rank Tracker
Weekly Google position checks + REAL GSC overlay for ground truth.
What it is
Add the keywords you care about — we check Google for your position every week automatically and graph the trend. The 'GSC actual' column overlays the REAL average position from your Search Console (last 28 days) next to our scrape — gives you ground truth + impressions + clicks for each keyword.
Why it matters
You can't manage what you don't measure. Without rank tracking, you'll think your SEO work is failing when it's actually working (or vice versa). The weekly cadence is enough to spot real movement without noise.
How to use it (step-by-step)
Follow these in order. Each step is 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
- 1
Add keywords one at a time
Quality > quantity. 25 tracked keywords on Starter is plenty if they're the right 25.
- 2
Read the columns
Our scrape = single Google search from a neutral location. GSC actual = average position across all real searches for the last 28 days (more accurate). Change = movement vs last check.
- 3
Click a row to see the trend graph
90 days of historical positions. Watch for jumps after content updates or new backlinks.
- 4
Run 'Check all' on demand
Forces a fresh scrape of all tracked keywords. Rate-limited per plan (Pro: 10/day, Agency: 50/day). Weekly auto-check still runs in the background.
Pro tips
- →Track what matters: 5-10 'money' keywords that drive revenue, plus 10-20 long-tail keywords for breadth.
- →Don't panic over ±3 position fluctuation week-to-week — Google's results aren't deterministic. Look at the 30-day trend.
- →When GSC actual ≠ our scrape, trust GSC — it's averaging real searches, not one snapshot.
- →The GSC overlay needs the project linked to a verified Search Console property (Keywords page → 'Link this project').
How we compare
Honest comparison — where we win and where the big tools win.
vs. AccuRanker ($129/mo+)
AccuRanker checks daily; we check weekly. For most non-news sites, weekly is plenty and saves money. AccuRanker doesn't overlay GSC.
vs. Ahrefs / SEMrush rank tracking
Comparable accuracy at much lower cost.
