Rank Tracker

Track your weekly Google positions for the keywords that matter, see who outranks you, and turn near-misses into articles.

The Rank Tracker checks where your site ranks in Google for each keyword you add, every week, and tells you what to do next for each one.

The Rank Tracker summary cards and keyword table, with each keyword's position, change, best position, ranking URL, last check and next step — The Rank Tracker

Add keywords#

Open Rank Tracker and enter keywords, one per line. Choose the country, language and Desktop or Mobile, then add them.

New keywords are checked straight away and have a position within a minute or two.

Plan	Tracked keywords per project
Starter	25
Premium	50
Pro	100

How often positions update#

Each keyword is checked once a week, at a fixed time for your project. SEOForge looks at Google's top 100 results. If a check fails, it retries after 1, 4 and 12 hours.

Read the results#

The summary shows how many keywords are in the Top 3, on Page 1 (top 10), within Striking distance (positions 11–20) and Not in top 100.

For each keyword the table shows its position, the change since the last check, its best-ever position, the URL that ranks, when it was checked, and a suggested next step. Keywords already in the top 3 have none.

Next step	When it appears	What to do
Write article	Below position 20, or not in the top 100	Plan a dedicated article for the keyword
Striking distance	Positions 11–20	Improve the ranking page: expand it, add internal links
Push to top 3	Positions 4–10	Strengthen the page to reach the top results

Click a keyword to see its position history, the pages on page one, the search features on the results page, and whether Google's AI Overview cites your site. The panel also suggests what to do next, based on what already ranks.

Turn a keyword into an article#

Click Write article in the Next step column, or the write button in a keyword's panel. SEOForge opens a form to add the keyword to your Content Planner, with the suggested content type and tomorrow's date filled in. Once it's added, click Generate it now to start writing straight away.
