Position tracking: monitoring rankings over time

Position tracking measures where your site ranks for a set of keywords over time. It helps you spot improvements, declines, and volatility - and connect visibility changes to site updates, algorithm shifts, or competitor activity.

Best practices

  • Track keyword sets by intent (brand, commercial, informational) and by location where relevant.
  • Pair rankings with traffic and conversions - rankings alone don’t pay bills.
  • Expect SERP volatility; focus on trends, not daily noise.
