Organic rank tracking

Rank tracking records your position (organic and, separately, sponsored) for a keyword set over time. Position is personalization- and location-noisy, so trackers standardize the query context; trends and step-changes matter, single readings do not.

Operate a tiered set: hero terms daily, the mid-tail weekly. Read events against it — a title change, a deal, a stockout each leave signatures (our 10–14 day read cadence exists precisely to see them cleanly). The pattern that pages an operator: broad simultaneous decline across unrelated terms, which smells like suppression, a lost badge, or an algorithm shift rather than keyword-level competition.
