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 Keyword Position Tracker (Manual)
- 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.
Keyword Position Tracker (Manual): 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.
- Can I track Bing rankings as well as Google?
- Yes, each check can be tagged with Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Yandex or Baidu, along with a device and a location. You still look up the position yourself and type it in, because the tracker never queries any search engine. Earlier checks can also be imported from a CSV file.
