How to Monitor Your SEO Rankings
Why Track SEO Rankings
Search rankings drive organic traffic, which is often a business's most valuable acquisition channel. A drop from position 3 to position 10 for a high-volume keyword can mean thousands of lost visitors per month. Automated monitoring lets you detect and respond to ranking changes quickly.
Choosing Keywords to Monitor
Focus on your most valuable keywords — those with high search volume and commercial intent. Track both branded terms (your company name) and non-branded terms (product categories, features). Include long-tail keywords that drive qualified traffic.
Setting Up Rank Tracking
Configure your target keywords and domain in AlertPulse. The system checks your ranking positions and alerts you when significant changes occur — both drops that need investigation and improvements worth celebrating.
Responding to Ranking Changes
When rankings drop, investigate potential causes: algorithm updates, technical issues, competitor moves, or content freshness. Use Google Search Console alongside rank tracking for deeper diagnostics. For improvements, analyze what worked to replicate the strategy.
