🦆 DuckDuckGo Rank Tracker

DuckDuckGo Rank Tracker lets you collect clean organic DuckDuckGo search results and monitor how your domains and competitors rank for important keywords over time.

Track SEO positions, compare competitors, preserve historical ranking data, and export structured SERP results without manually checking DuckDuckGo.

• 🎯 Track your rankings: monitor where your domains appear for every keyword
• 🥊 Monitor competitors: compare your positions against competing domains
• 📈 Detect ranking movement: identify NEW, UP, DOWN, UNCHANGED, LOST, and NOT_FOUND rankings
• 🔎 Collect organic SERPs: export ranked DuckDuckGo results with titles, URLs, snippets, and positions
• 🧹 Get cleaner results: exact normalized URL deduplication prevents duplicate URLs from receiving multiple ranks
• 🕒 Preserve history: keep ranking history across separate Actor runs
• ⚡ Automate SEO monitoring: combine the Actor with Apify Tasks, Schedules, API, webhooks, and integrations

📦 What data does DuckDuckGo Rank Tracker extract?

Each organic SERP result can contain:

🔍 Search keyword	🏆 Organic rank
📄 Logical SERP page	🔢 Position within page
📝 Result title	🔗 Result URL
🧹 Normalized URL	💬 Search snippet
🗂 Record type	📊 Rank-ready structured data

For tracked domains, the Actor also generates:

🌐 Domain	🏷 Domain role
✅ Found / not found	🏆 Current rank
⏮ Previous rank	📈 Rank change
🧭 Movement status	⭐ Best historical rank
📉 Worst historical rank	🔢 Checks count
📍 All matched positions	🔗 Matched URLs
🔎 Actual checked result depth	🗃 Tracking project history

Rankings are based on the actual unique organic results collected during that run. The Actor does not invent missing positions or pretend the requested result limit was reached.
