SEARCH RANK TRACKING · Workflow idea

Keep your keyword checks and ranking history together.

Check a maintained list of keywords and target websites on demand or at a regular interval, then organize observed positions and result links in a dated history. Prepare a concise ranking summary for the team, keep the selected search market visible, and have an SEO owner verify important changes before they guide client reporting or public website updates.

    Record whether the domain appears, its observed position, a relevant page, and the time and market of the check.

  4. Keep a dated ranking history

    Have a responsible person verify notable movements and approve client reporting, content updates, or other business actions.

The handoff

A dated ranking history and readable summary with observed positions, destination links, and review status.

Keep in mind

Search rankings can change by location, time, and result coverage, so a position is only an observation from a particular check. Keep dates and market context with the history, verify notable changes before sharing them with clients, and leave content, budget, and other business decisions to the responsible SEO or business owner.

Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.
