Keyword ranking

Q: What exactly is the Keyword Ranking feature and what data do you see by default?

The Keyword Ranking module tracks each entered keyword daily across Google's top 100 results. By default, it shows the exact position per keyword, trend lines such as top-10 movements, average position and URL changes, competitor distribution within the same top 100, and, when enabled, search volume, CPC and a competition score.

Q: How does daily top-100 tracking work in practice, and how do you filter by country or device?

Rank Monitor crawls the SERP overnight and stores the first 100 results for every keyword. Inside the dashboard you can filter by country, language and city, switch between desktop and mobile views or enable extra local tracking, and further refine by date range, search-engine variant or keyword group.

Q: Why is it smart to add annotations to your chart after on-page changes?

Annotations let you place a marker at the exact moment you launch a technical fix, content update or link campaign. This lets you compare the ranking curve before and after that date and quickly see whether changes are due to your own action or to a Google update.

Q: When do you usually see the first impact of a Google update in your rankings?

Because Rank Monitor measures the SERP every morning and plots Google updates on your chart, the first effects typically appear within 24–48 hours after Google confirms the update.

Q: What time are the new SERP measurements loaded into the dashboard each day?

Rank Monitor does not list an exact time on its website. Please check the time shown in your account or contact support for the precise schedule.
