Google Rank Tracker — Keyword Positions by Domain

Find out exactly where your website ranks on Google for the keywords you care about — and, unlike most rank trackers, what each of those positions is actually worth.

No subscription. Pay for the keywords you check, nothing more.

What you get

For every keyword:

• Your position in Google's results, and the exact page that ranks
• What moved since your last check — places gained or lost, keywords that entered or fell out of the top 10, and whether Google switched to ranking a different page of yours
• Which competitors just appeared in the top 10, and which dropped out
• The top 10 results, so you can see who is ahead of you and why
• Monthly search volume and average cost-per-click — the real figures advertisers pay, not estimates
• A summary report each run: how many keywords improved or slipped, net places gained, what the movement is worth, which competitors appear across your whole keyword set, and your biggest ranking opportunities ranked by value
• Desktop or mobile, and any country

It tells you what changed, not just where you are

"You are position 9" is a fact. "You were 4 last week, you are 9 now, and Monday.com took the spot" is something you can act on.

Run it once and you get a snapshot. Schedule it weekly and every run reports the movement since the last one — including an estimate of what that movement is worth per month, based on how click-through drops off down the page and what advertisers pay for the keyword. Dropping three places on a keyword nobody searches is not news; dropping three places on one worth $20 a click is.

Your history is kept on your own account and never leaves it.

Why the search volume matters

Most rank trackers hand you a list of numbers and leave you to work out which ones matter. Position 4 on a keyword nobody searches is worth less than position 11 on one that advertisers pay $20 a click for.

Adding real volume and cost-per-click means you can sort your keywords by what a position is worth rather than by the position itself. That is usually a very different list, and it is the one worth acting on.

Example

Input

{
  "domain": "notion.so",
  "keywords": ["project management software", "team wiki", "note taking app"],
  "weightByDemand": true,
  "country": "us"
}

Output — one row per keyword

{
  "keyword": "project management software",
  "domain": "notion.so",
  "position": 7,
  "rankingUrl": "https://www.notion.so/product/projects",
  "found": true,
  "topResults": [
    { "position": 1, "domain": "monday.com", "url": "https://monday.com/" },
    { "position": 2, "domain": "asana.com", "url": "https://asana.com/" }
  ],
  "previousPosition": 4,
  "positionChange": -3,
  "daysSincePrevious": 7,
  "entered": false,
  "dropped": false,
  "rankingUrlChanged": true,
  "newCompetitors": ["linear.app"],
  "lostCompetitors": ["basecamp.com"],
  "monthlySearches": 33100,
  "avgCpcUsd": 22.4,
  "movementValueUsd": -2226.32
}

positionChange is places gained, so a negative number means you slipped. Here: down three places over a week, Linear entered the top 10, Google switched which of your pages it ranks — and the move is costing roughly $2,200 a month in equivalent ad spend.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Ahrefs or Semrush? Those are subscriptions starting around $100 a month whether you use them or not. This is pay-as-you-go — check 20 keywords once and you pay for 20 keywords once. If you need a full SEO suite, buy the suite. If you need positions, this is cheaper.

Do I need an API key or an account anywhere? No. Nothing to sign up for and nothing to configure.

Can I track rankings automatically every week? Yes, and that is where it earns its keep. Schedule it and each run reports what moved since the last one, so you get a trend rather than a series of disconnected snapshots.

Where is my ranking history stored? On your own Apify account, in your own storage. It is never sent anywhere else and we cannot see it. The first run has nothing to compare against; every run after that does.

What does "move worth $/mo" mean? An estimate of what a ranking change is worth, combining how click-through falls away down the page with what advertisers actually pay for that keyword. It is a guide for prioritising, not an accounting figure — the raw position change sits right beside it.

Can I check a competitor's site instead of my own? Yes. Put their domain in the website field. Nothing about it is specific to sites you own.

Does it work outside the US? Yes, any country and language. Rankings differ noticeably between markets, so set the country to the one your customers are actually in.

Why is my position empty? Your site is not in the top results for that keyword. The top-10 list in the same row shows who is, which is usually the more useful information.

Is search volume included? Yes, when you switch on the volume option — real monthly searches and cost-per-click, not modelled guesses.

Also worth a look

Tracking Google positions is only half the picture now that buyers ask AI assistants instead of searching. AI Visibility Tracker shows whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overview and Perplexity mention your brand when someone asks for a recommendation.
