Check Your Website’s Ranking

Why using Google Search Console isn’t enough

Say you want to find out where your website is ranking on Google. Google offers a free tool called Google Search Console (GSC) that can provide you with organic ranking data. This even has a “queries” section, where you can find all the queries your website is ranking for. The table will show what position your pages ranks for these queries (on average).

This would be an obvious choice of tool, right?

Sorry, not quite. Here’s why:

• The positions are an average, meaning the average of the highest result from your website for that keyword. So, if a query returned results at positions 2, 4 and 6, then the position will be reported as 2. But remember, it’s an average over time. Sometimes the positions might be high, sometimes they might be low. This means you get an average of the average, which makes the results less precise.
• GSC only reports data when there are a minimum number of impressions. And Google doesn’t specify when that minimum is met. That makes it quite unreliable when looking at terms with lower search volume (long tail keywords).
• GSC doesn’t specify the positions for keywords which rank differently depending on the location (except country). In reality, search results are localised more precisely than the country level, so you won’t get any reliable data based on exact location. Keywords with local intent won’t always be accurately represented in GSC. And for sites with different rankings in different cities, GSC data is often going to be less accurate.
• The collected data in GSC has a 2-3 day time delay. So, forget about getting fresh, up-to-date information about where your website is ranking.

What you need instead: AccuRanker

If you want to see exactly how your potential customers experience your online presence, and how your business is seen by your target market, you should use AccuRanker. It’s the fastest and most accurate website rank checker tool on the market.

Check your website rankings at a global and local level

Localisation is the key component that affects the results you see in your browser. You just don’t know what’s real unless you use a rank tracker to see the Search Engine Results Pages (SERP) from a potential customer’s perspective.

Our tool lets you check your website ranking at a country, state, city or address level. Rankings may differ from city to city, so you need a rank checker tool that shows you the exact position for the targeted location.

By checking your website ranking as a local user, our tool allows you to pinpoint your local SEO actions to the exact areas you’re interested in. It helps you understand the impact of your local SEO work or marketing strategy that involves local SEO initiatives.

Besides checking your position in the organic results, the tool also monitors and reports on whether your website is listed in the Local Pack results for each keyword.

Check your overall position in the market

Our tool also measures the ‘real estate’ your website holds in search engine results. We do this by calculating a metric called ‘Share of Voice’. Share of Voice is a visibility indicator that looks at search volume and rankings, then gives an overview of your organic position in the marketplace.

With Share of Voice you can see how well your SEO strategy is working for your domain and competitors, and if you are winning or losing on high traffic keywords. Getting to see your Share of Voice compared to your competitors is the kind of easy-to-translate information that can be shared with your colleagues outside of the digital marketing department. Use it to inform your stakeholders and new potential investors about your position in each market.

Get ranking reports sent to your inbox

Instead of checking your rankings in the tool, you can keep yourself up-to-date with scheduled reports which are sent to your inbox.

Scheduled reports help you automate the process of reporting website rankings, saving you both time and effort. You can have customised reports sent to you by email, both automatically or on demand, and can schedule them for daily, weekly or monthly sendings.

Public reports are reports that can be shared as a link. The advantage of this is that they stay updated at all times, and are easy to access. Perfect if you have to report to other stakeholders, that want to be kept continually informed.

What’s more, you can also download PDF, CSV and Excel reports instantly at any time, and at no extra cost.

Reporting is an important part of any digital marketing strategy, and with our tool it’s easy to keep yourself updated while ensuring colleagues and clients are in the loop.

Features that give in-depth insights into your website rankings

### Check your ranking history Check how your keywords have performed since the day you started tracking them. You can view the entire ranking history for each keyword, and the history for each specific URL that ranks. By monitoring how your keyword positions have changed over time, you can see if your actions correlate with the changes in your rankings.

### Check your average rank Check the average ranking of all your keywords that have a rank. Our average rank score shows you the increase or decrease in the average rank of all your keywords over a given period of time. You can easily spot dips in rankings, and see if your content is dropping in SERPs. This helps you figure out if there is an algorithmic update taking place, and know exactly when to take action.

### Check rankings for your landing pages Check the amount of keywords, and which specific keywords your landing pages are ranking for. View the search volume data for each page and its share of voice compared to your other pages. See if multiple pages rank for the same keyword, and if there are opportunities for your landing pages to target and conquer SERP features. Combine with data from Google Analytics to gain a better understanding of your landing pages and their performance over time.

### Check your competitors ranks Check how your competitors are ranking overall at the individual keyword level, and compare it to your own performance. Our tool provides you with a Top 10 aggregated competitor list for all your keywords, as well as the possibility to select up to ten competitors of your own choosing to compare your website against. This way you can monitor and outsmart the competition.
