Release Log
We always strive to provide the best rank tracking experience in the world. For us, that means delivering fast and accurate results. We put a lot of effort into building software that does just that. On top of that, we love delivering tools that help you create and produce exceptional SEO results. Below are just a few of the recent new features and changes made to AccuRanker.
Domains tree view mode
We’ve added yet another new view mode to Domains, expanding on the existing options. This mode allows users to compare Domains across Groups, providing the ability to view and analyze multiple metrics at various levels: Group, Domain, Folder, and Tag.
With this feature, users can now gain a comprehensive overview of their metrics while also having the flexibility to drill down into specific details across any level, improving both visibility and analysis capabilities.
Filter by keywords where you rank more than once
We've added a filter "Has extra ranks" which finds all the keywords where you rank more than once.
Introducing AccuRanker AI Search Volume!
We're excited to introduce the latest innovation in AccuRanker: AI Search Volume! This feature is designed to provide highly accurate search volume data. Unlike traditional tools that rely on overestimated numbers from Google Keyword Planner, our proprietary search volume metric provides precise traffic estimates at the keyword level. This allows you to make more informed, data-driven decisions for your SEO and SEM strategies.
Why AccuRanker AI Search Volume is a game changer:
- Accurate keyword level estimates: Unlike Google Keyword Planner, which groups similar keywords and rounds data, our AI Search Volume distinguishes between keyword variations, enabling more realistic traffic predictions.
- Device-specific data: We split search volume between desktop and mobile for a detailed view of search behavior.
- No more inconsistent bans: Google's fluctuating banned keyword rules no longer affect your insights.
- Our AI Search Volume integrates data from Google Search Console, Google Keyword Planner, and Google Trends, intelligently combining these sources to reduce inaccuracies. This ensures you get the most accurate and actionable search volume estimates available.
Stay tuned for upcoming features where we incorporate AI Search Volume into all of our popular SEO metrics like AI Share of Voice that will further enhance your SEO toolkit!
For more information, check out our detailed Help Guide.
See Google Trends keywords
We've implemented a graph to show the trend from Google Trends for a given keyword. You can find it by going to the keyword list, clicking on a keyword (the same way as when you want to see ranking history) and switching tab to "Google Trends" at the top.
Domains card view mode
We are excited to introduce a brand new view mode for the Domains page. This update offers:
- A visual overview of all your domains
- An easy way to compare metrics across domains
- Sparklines to show trends in key metrics
Additionally, we've added a new feature that allows you to compare metrics across domains and drill down to groups, domains, folders, or individual tags.

Improved layout of PDF Reports
Introducing a much-needed overhaul of the layout engine behind our PDF Reports. Your reports will now look significantly better than before. This update brings improved use of page space and eliminates several layout bugs. We've particularly enhanced the layout for Extra Ranks.
You'll enjoy all the same functionality as before, but with a greatly improved presentation.
Google AI Overview
We are excited to announce our latest feature: Support for Google's AI Overview. This addition to our toolkit allows you to identify and monitor the presence of AI Overview in your Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Leverage our robust filtering capabilities to gain valuable insights into how AI Overview impacts your search visibility and performance. Stay ahead of the curve by tracking this innovative SERP feature and adjusting your SEO strategies accordingly.
Read more about this in the help guide article.
New SERP Feature: Ads In-Between Organic Results
We are now tracking ads in-between organic results as a SERP feature in the AccuRanker platform. This update enhances your ability to monitor and analyze ads that appear within organic search results. This allows users to gain insight into how paid ads are integrated into search results, providing a comprehensive view of both organic and paid search visibility.
This should help you refine your SEO strategy by understanding the interplay between ads and organic listings.
For a detailed overview and examples, check out this article by Barry Schwartz, which discusses Google's recent experiments with ad placement within search results.
Introducing Workspaces
AccuRanker has launched AccuRanker Workspaces and Advanced User Management, aimed at improving user access control for large organizations. This upgrade allows administrators to efficiently manage permissions, ensuring users only access relevant groups and domains. The focus is on enhancing security and usability, streamlining rank-tracking processes while maintaining strict access controls.
Filter Keyword Option Ignored Domain
It is now possible to filter by ignored domains with the keyword option filter.
Update to SERP Analysis tab
The SERP Features tab now displays all features on the SERP, not just those you own. We've also added a toggle to switch between viewing the history of owned features and the total feature count.
Table headers
Table headers have been updated with new styling and a menu for quickly sorting data or adding filters. Access the menu by clicking anywhere on the table header.
Tag Redesign
Dynamic and static tags has been redesigned, featuring new visuals and enhanced functionality. You can now easily add tags as filters, edit dynamic tags & remove static tags within the Keyword Table.
Customize your dashboard
We’ve added new customization features for the dashboard, allowing quick rearrangement the layout by simply dragging and dropping. Easily add or remove widgets to tailor the dashboard to your needs.
Learn more here.
Above the Fold icon has been moved
The "Above the Fold" icon, which was previously found in the "Rank" column is now instead found in the "Pixels from Top" column.
Improvements to quality of Keyword Discovery keywords
We've applied a set of rules to ensure that multiple variants of the same words are far less common. For instance, we might before have shown all these four variants when going to Keyword Discovery for Adidas: "adidas samba shoes", "adidas sambas shoes", "adidas samba shoe", "adidas samba shoes". With the new rules, we only show one variant in such cases.
AI Share of Voice and sorting on Home screen
Added the possibility to see AI Share of Voice (SoV) on the home screen. In addition, made it possible to sort your domains by change in rank, AI SoV or SoV.
SERP Feature update - Shopping
We're excited for our latest update, bringing extensive support for a range of Google SERP features specifically tailored to enhance the shopping experience, particularly on Google's mobile SERP. This update supports:
Stores: Discover items available in online stores, prominently displayed at the top of your search results. This feature integrates online store listings into regular organic positions. You can now rank on these just as regular organic results.
Popular Stores: Quickly navigate to popular retail brands and stores relevant to your search query. This feature provides quick links to the brand's website or specific products, presented in a battle card-style at the top of the SERP. You can now rank on these just as regular organic results.
Image Product Pack: This specialized feature displays a series of product images from a specific site, including price and availability, directly in the SERP. Clicking on an image opens a larger view with more information and options to visit the product page. We can tell if you own one of these cards if you have added the corresponding My Google Business name.
Shop the Look and Popular Styles: Dive into fashion and home decor with curated outfits and room looks matching your search query. This feature provides inspiration and facilitates the discovery of products that match the user's aesthetic preferences. We can tell if you own one of these items for sale if you have added the corresponding My Google Business name.
Rich Product Info: Get detailed product information right in your search results. This includes price, availability, product reviews, ratings, and descriptions, along with images pulled from multiple sites to facilitate at-a-glance comparison shopping. This feature is an enhancement to the organic result, we will track whether you own it and/or it resides on another SERP result.
Google's Filter Menu: Refine your search results with ease using specific filters such as date, price range, color, and type of content. This feature is now accessible for shopping, news, and image searches on both mobile and desktop platforms.
Forum Posts and Discussions: Gain community insight with aggregated forum posts and discussions relevant to your search query. Each entry includes the thread title, a snippet, and the source website, allowing users to explore community-driven advice, opinions, and solutions. If the post is on a forum on your site, we will track it for you.
RegEx in filters and dynamic tags
We are excited to introduce the possiblity to use Regular Expressions (RegEx) in dynamic tags and the Keyword and URL filter.
Learn more about how to RegEx in AccuRanker here.
Date Picker Enhancement
The date picker has been redesigned for enhanced accessibility and efficiency in modifying date comparison ranges. You can find the picker in the top right corner.
Improved Column Customization
The "Table settings" features has been renamed to "Configure columns" and now includes new functionality for custom column ordering in the keyword table. Furthermore, table view modes have been relocated for improved accessibility.
Improvements to Google Search Console integration
Enhancements to our Google Search Console integration now allow for the import of up to 1 million keywords, a significant increase from the previous limit of 5,000. Furthermore, we've introduced two new columns: "position" and "ctr", showcasing the average values from GSC over the most recent 30-day period.
To utilize the updated GSC integration, navigate to the "Add keywords" window and press "Import from Google Search Console".
Live counts when filtering
We've significantly enhanced several of our filters, now allowing you to view the count of keywords included within the filter in real-time as you enter the filter.
Top competitor filter
We've introduced a new filter to show only keywords where a specific domain is at rank 1.
AI Winners / Losers
We've introduced the "Top AI Winners/Losers" box on the domain overview. This shows how many keywords increased/decreased their rank, and what the effect on AI SoV are for these keywords. In addition, it gives a quick view of the keywords, filtered to see either Winners or Losers. Note: This functionality already existed for regular SoV.
Alphabet filter
We've introduced a new filter to show only keywords using a specific alphabet, e.g. Arabic, Cyrillic or Latin.
Introducing Local Pack Rank
AccuRanker has unveiled a new metric called "Local Pack Rank." This metric reflects your ranking on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP) when all results, except for local listings such as those on Google Maps, are excluded. It is important to note that this metric is relevant only for SERPs that include local results.
Major improvements in Keyword Research keywords
We've cleaned up our database to ensure a higher quality of keywords in Keyword Research. Previously, you might have found several spellings of the same word - this should be much less common now.
Visual update
Major visual update across the app. While this update does not introduce new functionality, its primary aim is to enhance the overall user experience within AccuRanker. It aims to improve usability and give better visual consistency.
The most noticeable change is the introduction of a new sidebar menu, which replaces both the previous top and sidebar menus, along with several horizontal tabs in various locations.

Added "System notes" to charts
When Google makes a large update that can impact your data, you will from now on see a small note in all graphs with an explanation of what happened.
Fixed issue with hanging tooltips
Some users reported an issue where their tooltips would not disappear after you stopped hovering the relevant item on the page. This should now be fixed!
Improved application performance
We've released an update to our application which has made it faster! You will for instance notice this when switching between different tabs in the application. This will be especially noticeable if you're running AccuRanker on a low end device.
Improved domain select components with 1000+ domains
Previously, the domains table and the domains selector (next to the groups selector) could become slow if you had more than 1000 domains on your account. This is no longer the case!
Better user experience when adding or refreshing keywords
When adding keywords or refreshing a domain, the overview on the corresponding domain will now automatically update the numbers once the update is complete. Previously, this would require a refresh of the page.
Updated notification system
The design and behavior of our in-app notifications has been updated to be easier readable and less intrusive.
Track the progress when adding/refreshing keywords
When adding keywords or refreshing an entire domain, you can now follow the progress - even when leaving the domain! This also utilizes the updated notification system.
Improvements to folder management in Tag Cloud
The folder editing and management experience should now be a much smoother experience! Especially for domains with a large amount of tags and folders.
API landing page endpoint now includes Google Analytics 4
If you have your Google Analytics 4 account connected to AccuRanker, you can pull analytics data related to your landing page(s). See the API documentation for details. The GA4 API object is in beta and therefore the available fields are subject to change. Please contact our support if you have any questions or suggestions for metrics/fields that should be available.
Multiple versions of the same filter
It is now possible to have multiple versions of the same filter!
For instance, you can now filter on keywords that contain both "best", "rank", and "tracker". This enhancement applies to all filters, also in Keyword Discovery, and it also paves the way for some exciting features to come!
In addition, we have split the SERP Feature filter into two - owned features and all features. This makes the filter more flexible. Now, you can for instance filter on all SERPs that contain a local result, and then filter away all those where you already own the local result(s) and thus identify new opportunities for enhancing your visibility!
Added support for tracking SoMe profiles
When you add or edit a domain (or a competitor), it is now possible to also add your company or personal LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok profiles associated with your domain to track their performance alongside your regular domain name, just as you could already do with your Twitter profile.
You can configure this when adding or editing a domain if you press "Show advanced settings".
Filter by many keywords at the same time
Introducing the Multiple Keywords filter!
Have you ever wanted to take a list of keywords from Excel or Sheets and find all of them instantly in AccuRanker? Or perhaps you've longed for the ability to search for multiple keywords simultaneously? With the Multiple Keywords filter, all this is now possible!
This new filter will streamline tasks such as bulk adding tags or changing keyword settings. Learn more here.
Improved Tag Cloud table
Introducing our enhanced Tag Cloud table.
Key features of the new table include:
-
Virtualization: This advanced feature enables the table to handle an unlimited number of tags and folders without compromising speed. Whether you have a few or an extensive collection, the table will remain lightning fast.
-
Horizontal Scroll with "Sticky Columns": Now you can seamlessly navigate through the table, even when viewing the last columns. The "sticky columns" functionality ensures that as you scroll horizontally, the tags and folders remain visible, allowing you to easily track the data you're viewing.
-
Enhanced Scrollbar Integration: We have integrated the table with the browser's default scrollbar, eliminating the need for a separate scrollbar within the table. This intuitive design improves the scrolling experience within the table, making it more user-friendly and efficient.
Experience the convenience and improved performance of our new Tag Cloud table today!
Introducing Enhanced Keyword Discovery: Unlocking New Possibilities
We are thrilled to announce a major facelift of Keyword Discovery. With some exciting new features your keyword research process just got a major boost!
One of the standout enhancements is the ability to explore keywords from competitor sites. Gone are the days of being limited to your own domain(s). Now, you can effortlessly search any domain and location to uncover a treasure trove of related keywords.
To further streamline your keyword exploration journey, we are proud to introduce Quick Actions. This comprehensive collection of frequently used filters enables you to effortlessly refine and filter the discovered keywords. With Quick Actions, finding precisely what you are looking for has never been faster or easier.
Revamped Tag Cloud
AccuRanker is excited to announce the launch of our revamped Tag Cloud feature, designed to enhance the organization and analysis of keyword data for large-scale SEO efforts!
With the new Tag Cloud, users can create a hierarchical structure of folders and sub-folders to efficiently track and manage keywords based on different criteria. Each folder and tag in the Tag Cloud offers 17 data points in a table, providing comprehensive aggregate data for all associated keywords.
Additionally, the Tag Cloud allows for easy comparison of folders and tags, enabling users to analyze keyword performance trends and patterns. Experience the power of the enhanced Tag Cloud today and optimize your search engine rankings. Learn more by reading the accompanying blog post and help guide.
Renaming Estimated Visits to AI Share of Voice
In order to accurately represent the underlying metrics, we have changed the name of "Estimated Visits" within the application to "AI Share of Voice". This modification reflects the fact that both metrics provide similar information, but AI Share of Voice utilizes our dynamic CTR model powered by AI, while Share of Voice relies on a static CTR model.
To make this transition seamless, the existing API endpoints continue to exist, but another field "ai_share_of_voice" has been added whereever "estimated_visits" is available. For CSV reports, the header has been renamed to 'AI SoV'
Faster loading keyword list
We have made improvements to the loading speed of the keyword list and other tables, resulting in a 20% faster loading time. This enhancement will be particularly noticeable on slower computers.
Local Search Volume now available for Keywords on Google
It is now possible to get search volume and related data such as Share of Voice and Estimated Visits based on local values instead of country values for Google keywords with a specified location. If you would like to enable this feature for existing domains, go to the respective domain settings page and enable it. For more information on how to do this, see the search volume Help Guide. By default, new domains use the account setting that displays local search volume by default. You can toggle back and forth at your convenience. The effect on historical data is immediate.
"Not in top 100" Keywords Average Rank Calculation
You can now easily include keywords that don't rank within the top 100 search results in your average rank calculations. Our latest update lets you do this with a customizable rank value.
To use this feature, simply visit your account settings and toggle on the setting: Include "Not in top 100" rank keywords. This will apply to all domains linked to your account by default. Plus, you can set a custom rank value for these keywords.
If you'd like to adjust the settings for individual domains, just head to the settings tab for the domain you want to change. By default, domains follow the account settings, but you can choose to always enable or disable this feature for a specific domain. You can also set a custom rank value for each domain.
Google Analytics Integration Updated to Support GA4
We're excited to announce that our Google Analytics integration has been updated to support Google Analytics 4 (GA4)!
We wanted to let you know that Google is phasing out Universal Analytics (UA) and replacing it with GA4, so we encourage you to upgrade if you currently have a UA connection.
We've made the upgrade process as easy as possible - if we can identify a GA4 property for your domains, you'll be presented with an option to upgrade all of them at once. If we can't identify a GA4 property for your domains, simply go to the overview page of your domain and click on "Upgrade to GA4."
If you aren't already using our Google Analytics integration, don't worry! We have a step-by-step guide that will show you how to get started.
Adding Competitors in a Hurry? No Problem!
After adding or editing a competitor on your domain, new data will be available in ~10 seconds instead of 5-20 minutes.
Import CSV User Experience
AccuRanker supports a broad range of third party rank trackers. This means you can migrate to AccuRanker with no risk to your existing data.
We have worked hard to improve the speed and user experience when importing keywords from other sources.
This includes:
- An updated user interface
- Better data previews
- Vastly improved error messages
Top 10 CTR
By popular demand, we've added the ability to see our AI-based CTR value for the top 10 ranks on the SERP! You can find it in the keyword list by hovering a value in the Max CTR column.
Keyword Table Responsiveness
We've tuned the keyword table to load even faster in the browser.
With this change we are targeting the rendering delay, i.e. what the browser does after having fetched data from the server. On a fast computer this was hardly noticeable before. But we want to be the fastest keyword rank tracker and that includes all hardware platforms. So we have tweaked the rendering to reduce the initial rendering load.
CPC Currency
We're excited to announce a new feature that allows you to customize the currency of data like cost-per-click across AccuRanker. You can do this in two different places:
- In your Account Settings, you can change the CPC currency setting for all domains on your account.
- In your Domain Settings, you can change the CPC currency setting for an individual domain. This will overwrite the account setting for that domain.
Please note that on group views, the account setting will always be used.
Updated Dynamic Competitor Chart
A new and improved dynamic competitor chart when viewing a single keyword! Click a keyword in the keyword list to try it out.
The chart is now available on the same page as the keyword rank history table and the chart loads more data by default.
New Overview Page

The Overview has received a major overhaul and is packed with new features.
- Eight new charts with much-requested data

Improvements to Notes on Charts
All charts outside the overview have received an update to the notes functionality making them much more user-friendly. You can now click a note to see a quick summary, and if there are many notes on top of each other, they will be grouped neatly.
Keyword Import and Export Improvements
We've released performance enhancements and new features for keyword import and export (i.e. generated reports).
When exporting, we now include the field extra ranks - which contains data if your domain is ranking multiple times for the same keyword.
When importing, we now also support extra ranks in two ways: either by reading from the extra ranks field or by detecting extra ranks from multiple rows.
Import performance has also been improved, with an especially noticeable impact when dealing with very large imports. In addition, we've improved the feedback messages when attempting to import a file with errors, so the errors are much easier to correct.
Search Volume - Historical data in API & Looker Studio
Using our API, it's now possible to read historical search volume up to 3 years back for each keyword!
Please see our API documentation for more information.
This data is also accessible on our connector for Looker Studio (recently renamed from Google Data Studio) as the following new fields:
Date [Keyword Search Volume]
Search volume [Keyword Search Volume]
