Rank tracking
Rank tracking
Track where you rank for keywords you choose, on a schedule, in a specific market and device.
Verify the site on the overview first, then create a list, add keywords, and Check now — in that order.
Step by step
Step 1. Verify the site first
How to use it: Rank tracking refuses unverified sites. On the site overview, press Verify site and finish the checks until the green Verified badge appears — then return here.
Step 2. Create a list
How to use it: Under Track another list press Show settings. Name the list, set country and language, device, how deep to look and how often, then press Create list.
Step 3. Add keywords
How to use it: Pick the list under Tracking list, type or paste one keyword per line and press Add keywords. Import adds from saved keywords, Google data (close to page one) or a CSV file.
Step 4. Check now
How to use it: Press Check now. Each check is priced before it runs, and positions appear in about a minute.
Step 5. Read the keyword count
How to use it: The Tracking list menu shows each list with its keyword count — “0 keywords” means add keywords before you can check.
When a number looks wrong
- Missing provider data reads not available — never 0.
- A Verify site notice on the site overview means ownership is not proven yet — see the site verification guide before rank tracking, monitoring, local SEO, or AI visibility.
- Rank checks are one location, one device, one moment. Search Console averages every impression — they will disagree.
