Free rank tracker: see where you rank in Google, checked every week

Free rank tracker: dashboard with the Google position and weekly trend of each keyword (illustrative example)

A rank tracker is an SEO tool that checks where your website appears in Google for specific keywords, in a specific country and language. It shows how your rankings change over time, who ranks above you, and whether a change to a page worked.

The free ContentScale rank tracker checks where your website ranks in Google for up to 10 keywords, in the country and language you choose. It runs automatically every week, without personal settings, and e-mails you when a keyword enters or leaves page 1 or moves 5 places or more.

How the free rank tracker works

How the rank tracker works: choose website, country and keywords; Google’s top 30 is checked without personal settings; every week an e-mail with positions and changes
  1. Enter your website, the country you sell in and up to 10 keywords.
  2. Confirm your e-mail. The first check runs right away.
  3. Every week the tracker checks the Google results again and e-mails you your positions and what changed.

What is measured, and what is not

What the rank tracker dashboard shows: position, trend, ranking page, Google’s top 3 and keywords Google suggests (illustrative example)
  • Google’s organic results for each keyword, in the country and language you chose, without personal settings or search history.
  • The top 30. Your best position counts. If you are not in the top 30, the tracker says so; it never guesses a number.
  • Which of your pages ranks, so you see when Google switches to another page of yours.
  • The trend of each keyword week by week, with your best position measured.
  • Google’s top 3 for each search: who ranks above you.
  • Keywords Google suggests: the related searches and “People also ask” questions Google shows next to your results. Add one with a click.
  • Your best opportunity: the keyword closest to a higher position, with an invitation to discuss it live in a call. Mark it “changed” and the tracker follows whether it rises.
  • Search Console (optional): upload your export and see real clicks, impressions and average position next to each keyword. No Google sign-in.

A position is a snapshot of Google at the moment of the check. It is not the average position in Google Search Console, and it can differ from what you see when you are signed in to Google. Positions move a little every day; look at the trend over several weeks.

Why track rankings weekly

A position tells you whether a page is visible; Search Console tells you whether that visibility turns into clicks. Together they show whether a change to a page worked. When a keyword is not on page 1 yet, discuss your SEO and GEO live in a call: we look together at the pages that do rank and at what your page is missing.

How to choose a rank tracker: 6 criteria

Six criteria to choose a rank tracker: neutral measurement, country and language, depth, frequency, competitors, AI and pricing
  1. Neutral measurement. It should check Google without your session or history; otherwise you see your own bubble, not the position your customers see.
  2. Country, language and location. A position in the US is not the same as in the UK. For local SEO you need city or coordinates.
  3. Depth. How far it looks (top 30, top 100). More depth shows the progress of new pages sooner.
  4. Frequency. Daily for large sites or campaigns; weekly is enough to see the trend of a small or medium site.
  5. Competitors. Seeing who ranks above you says more than your number alone.
  6. AI visibility and pricing. Some tools already measure AI Overviews and ChatGPT; check how they charge (per keyword, per combination or per prompt).

Free or paid rank tracker?

A free rank tracker is enough when you have one website, one market and a few important keywords, and you want to see each week whether they go up or down. A paid tool pays off when you manage several sites or clients, need daily data, mobile and desktop separately, hundreds of keywords or client reports. Start free, see what you miss, and pay only for that.

Rank tracking and AI Overviews

With AI Overviews, a good organic position no longer guarantees the same clicks: the AI answer can appear above it. So measure two things: your position in Google, with a rank tracker like this one, and whether AI answers cite you, which is what we work on in AI visibility.

Frequently asked questions

What is a rank tracker?

An SEO tool that checks where your website appears in Google for specific keywords, in a specific country and language, and shows how that position changes over time.

Which metrics should I follow with a rank tracker?

The position of each keyword, its trend over several weeks, which of your pages ranks and who ranks above you. Combine it with clicks from Google Search Console to know whether visibility turns into visits.

Is the rank tracker really free?

Yes. One website, one country and up to 10 keywords, checked every week. No credit card and no password: you sign in with a link in your e-mail.

Why is my position different from what I see in Google?

Google personalises results by location, history and sign-in. The tracker checks without personal settings, in the country and language you chose, so you get a neutral, comparable measurement every week.

Which countries can I track?

The tracker supports the main Google markets worldwide. In countries where most people use another search engine, such as Russia (Yandex) or South Korea (Naver), it tells you that a Google position says less there.

How is this different from Google Search Console?

Search Console shows your average position and real clicks over a period. The rank tracker shows the position for a specific country at a specific moment, every week. Use both.

Can I stop or delete my data?

Every e-mail has a stop link, and your dashboard has a button to delete your account and all positions.
