About Keyword Position Tracker (Manual)
A manual rank tracker: you check a position and record it, and the tool keeps the history and shows the trend. Positions are entered by hand, and that limitation is the honest part — nothing here queries a search engine on your behalf. Using it is free and needs no subscription. The figures you enter are kept in the browser rather than sent onward.
How to use it
- Add a keyword and the page it should rank forOne dominant intent per page, which is also how the keyword map for a site should be built.
- Record the position you observedCheck in a private window to reduce personalisation, and note that results vary by location and device regardless.
- Watch the trend, not the readingOne position on one day is noise. A direction over weeks is a signal.
Why a single position is barely a fact
Results differ by location, device, language, personalisation and the moment you looked. There is no single true position for a keyword — there is a distribution, and what you sampled is one point from it. This is why a move from nine to seven means nothing on its own and a month at nine followed by a month at four means something.
What it does not do
- Positions are entered by hand. Nothing is fetched, which means no rate limits, no API key and no accuracy beyond your own observation.
- Data is stored in your browser. Clearing site data clears the history, and it does not follow you to another machine.
- Search Console average position is more reliable for the same purpose, because it is measured across real impressions rather than sampled by one person.
Questions people ask
- Why does it not fetch my rankings automatically?
- Because automated querying of a search engine from a browser violates their terms and is blocked in practice. A tool promising it is either using a paid third-party API or misleading you about where the numbers come from.
- Is this better than Search Console?
- No, and it is not trying to be. Search Console reports average position from real impressions, which is a better measurement. This is for tracking a handful of specific queries by hand, particularly before a property has enough data to be useful.
