Keyword tracker from domain setup to daily reporting
Build a daily view of the searches that matter to your site. Add a domain, bring in keywords, choose where and how to check them, and read the results in one table. SearchTracking connects Google positions with AI visibility for the same keyword list. Alerts bring changes to your attention, while scheduled reports make the findings easy to share.

Rank tracking software starts with your domain and keywords
Add the domain you want to measure as a project. Then paste the search terms you want to track. A keyword can be a single word or a longer phrase. It represents a search query, rather than a page on your site or an entire topic. Keep the wording people use when looking for your product, service, or information.
Location and device define the context for a tracked query. A query tracked in a location on a device uses a tracked keyword. The same query on another device or in another location uses additional keyword capacity. A desktop position and a mobile position can differ, as can results between locations. Project limits and keyword capacity appear in settings, so review them before expanding your tracking set.
| Keyword | Device | Position |
|---|---|---|
| lightweight hiking backpack | Desktop | 8 |
| lightweight hiking backpack | Mobile | 10 |

SEO ranking report software with keyword import options
Use pasted terms for a focused starting list, upload a CSV when you already maintain a spreadsheet, or import queries from Google Search Console. The import workflow brings existing search queries into your keyword selection without retyping them. Review the list and organize related terms using tags and groups.
Search Console adds clicks, impressions, and CTR alongside tracked positions. It also surfaces queries with impressions that you do not yet track. Choose which of those queries belongs in your daily set. Connecting Search Console is read-only. The SEO ranking report software page explains how imported performance metrics and tracked positions work together.
04
Local rank tracker and mobile rank tracker settings
Choose the location and device for the results you want to measure. Country and state settings provide broader geographic context. Team and higher plans add city and ZIP tracking for work that depends on a specific local market. Keep desktop and mobile observations distinct when comparing changes.
Add competitor domains when your plan includes competitor tracking. Team, Agency, and Enterprise support up to 5 competitors per project, using the same ranking columns so the comparison stays consistent. Choose domains that compete for the searches in your project. Use the settings to keep that comparison relevant as your campaign focus changes.
05
Daily rank tracker results in a familiar table
The daily run checks Google positions through the top 100 for your tracked contexts. Read the keyword, location, device, position, change, and ranking URL together. An outside-top-100 result describes the checked depth. It does not establish that a page is absent from every Google result.
The same row includes SERP features and AI visibility. Feature presence shows whether Google displays a map pack, featured snippet, People Also Ask, video, shopping, or AI Overview. Ownership identifies which features include your site. The SERP tracker explains those fields.
For keywords selected for AI checks, SearchTracking turns the term into a question about that topic. It records AI Overview citation status, brand mentions in ChatGPT and Perplexity, mention position, and competitors named instead. AI answers vary between runs. Monthly AI check allowances are separate from daily Google keyword limits. Each recorded answer from a source uses an AI check, including an answer without your brand. A day without a check is different from a lost mention.
06
AI brand monitoring and ranking drop alerts
Set a position threshold to receive an alert when a keyword falls past it. AI alerts flag when a recorded mention or citation disappears. Email alerts and a daily digest support regular review. Slack alerts are included on Team and higher plans.
Open the affected row before deciding on a response. Compare position, URL, search features, and AI observations with their own histories. Use classic visibility share to review estimated click share across the keyword set and AI mention share to review recorded brand appearances. Add chart notes for work such as a site migration. The AI visibility tool explains why mention trends need context.
07
White label rank tracking and recurring reports
Choose the project data you want to share through scheduled PDF reports or a live link report. CSV export supports spreadsheet analysis. Keep location, device, and the type of observation visible when explaining a change, so readers understand what the result measures.
Every plan includes unlimited seats. Assign owner, editor, or viewer roles according to each colleague's responsibilities. Agency and Enterprise add client viewer logins, API access, and white-label reports with your logo, colors, and domain. Review rank tracking software to choose the plan that matches your project count, tracking allowance, and reporting needs.

Daily rank tracker setup questions
What counts as a keyword?
A keyword is a search query, which can contain one word or a longer phrase. Location and device define its tracking context. Separate tracked combinations use keyword capacity.
How can I add keywords?
Paste a list, upload a CSV, or import queries from Google Search Console. You can also find untracked queries that already receive impressions and choose them for daily tracking.
Does Search Console access let SearchTracking edit my site?
No. The Search Console connection is read-only. It imports search performance data and queries without changing your site or Search Console settings.
How often are positions and AI answers checked?
Google positions are checked daily. AI observations are recorded in the daily run for selected keywords within your monthly AI check allowance. AI answers vary between runs.
