Monitoring organic search positions in Google is increasingly challenging. Google’s search results pages are now dynamic, diverse, and personalized. Additional sections — images, videos, “People also ask,” more — impact shoppers’ search journeys.
Yet position tracking remains the best way to measure organic search performance.
In this post, I’ll address my top five rank-tracking providers:
- Google Search Console,
- Sitechecker,
- Spyfu,
- Ahrefs,
- Semrush.
Top 5 Rank Trackers
Google Search Console is free. It’s my primary ranking tool. Search Console’s “Performance” section reports:
- Search queries your site ranks for,
- Average position of your site for each query,
- Pages that drive organic clicks,
- Impact of your site’s rich snippets.
The platform provides 16 months of data. There’s no way to prioritize keywords. Still, the tool is a must-have because its data is straight from Google.
With a couple of plugins, you can combine Google Analytics and Search Console data for even more insights into search queries and your site’s rankings for each.
