How to track keyword rankings every day

  1. Open your project and the Rank tracking tab.
  2. Paste the keywords you want to rank for, one per line, add a tag, and press Add keywords.
  3. Press Check now to get the first positions. After that, every keyword is checked once a day.
  4. Watch the visibility score and the 30-day chart.
  5. Use tags to look at one group of keywords at a time.
  6. Export to CSV for monthly reports.

Tips

  • Track a mix of broad and long-tail keywords.
  • Set the project's country and device to match your customers.
  • Judge trends over weeks, not single days.

Choosing what to track

  • Your brand name.
  • The main keyword for each important page.
  • A few long-tail keywords for each topic.
  • Keywords competitors rank for that you want to win.

Do not track everything. A focused list of keywords that matter is easier to act on.

Reading changes

A drop of a few places for one day is normal. A steady drop over two weeks deserves attention: check the page, the search results and any recent site changes.

Acting on the data

  • Keywords at positions 4–15: improve those pages first; small gains bring big traffic changes.
  • Keywords stuck beyond 50: consider an easier keyword or a better-matched page.
  • Ranking page changing between two URLs: check for cannibalisation.
