Position Tracking

A daily rank tracker for a fixed list of your target keywords, by device and location, against named competitors. This is the feedback loop that proves the work moved the needle: Visibility %, estimated traffic, position changes, and SERP-feature wins/losses over time.

Syntax

semrush

set up project → add target keywords → set device + location → track competitors → read Visibility % daily

Example

semrush

// The metric that tells you if SEO is working
Visibility %  → aggregate share of clicks across your
                tracked keywords (0-100%). Trend up = winning.

Key views:
- Rankings     → position per keyword, day over day
- Positions    → improved / declined / new / lost
- Landscape    → your share vs competitors over time
- Featured Snippets → snippet opportunities you can steal

// Cadence: check weekly, judge monthly. SEO moves
// slowly — daily noise is not signal.
