Rank tracking graphs

Rank Tracker keeps the history of every check, so you can see how a keyword’s position moved over time. You can chart several keywords together, open a keyword’s recent trend, or look at its search volume history.

Read the overview

Section titled “Read the overview”

Once you track at least one site, the top of Rank Tracker shows four tiles:

  • Tracked domains: how many sites you track.
  • Tracked keywords: how many keywords you track, and when they were last updated.
  • Top 10 rankings: keywords on page 1, and the change versus a month ago.
  • Average position: your average position, and how many positions it moved versus a month ago.

Below the tiles, the Overview panel shows:

  • Ranking skyline: each tower is one of your biggest sites, stacked by where its keywords rank. The green cap is page 1. Point at a color to compare that band across sites, and click a tower to see its details. Use Keywords to size towers by keyword count, or Share % to make them all the same height and compare proportions.
  • Where your keywords rank: all your keywords split by position band.
  • Last 7 days: the keywords that moved most. Switch between Climbing and Falling.

Select Hide to fold the panel into one line. Select it again to show it.

Chart several keywords

Section titled “Chart several keywords”
  1. In Rank Tracker, tick up to 15 keywords for a site.

Troubleshooting

Section titled “Troubleshooting”
  • “Only 15 Terms can be viewed at once.” Untick some keywords so 15 or fewer are selected.
  • A keyword has no line or an empty graph: it has not been checked yet, or it was not found within the depth on its checks.
