Free Keyword Rank Tracker
Track your Google ranking positions over time — automatically, by country and device, with full position history. Add the keywords you want to rank for and RankNibbler checks your organic position on a schedule, charts how it moves, and captures the full top-100 SERP for every keyword so you can see exactly who's outranking you. Free to start: 10 keywords, weekly checks.
What a keyword rank tracker does
A rank tracker monitors where your site ranks in Google over time — it's the difference between glancing at your position once and actually watching the trend. Add a keyword and the tracker records your organic position on every check, so you build a history: where you were, where you are, and which direction you're heading. That's what turns rankings from a vanity number into something you can act on — you see a drop the week it happens, and a climb when your work pays off.
Track your rankings over time
Every check is saved, so each keyword has a position-history chart and a clear change since the last check (up or down). Catching a sudden slide early — after a redesign, a migration, or a Google update — is the whole point: it tells you when something happened so you can find what caused it. It runs on a schedule (weekly on the free tier, more often on paid), so you don't have to remember to check.
Track by country and device
Rankings aren't one number. They differ by location and by device, so the tracker checks your position for a specific country and on mobile or desktop — because the same keyword can sit at #4 on mobile and #8 on desktop, or rank well in one country and not another. Track the markets and the device that actually matter to your audience.
See the full SERP and who outranks you
Most free trackers show only your position. RankNibbler captures the full top-100 organic results for each keyword, so for any term you can see every page ranking above and below you — your real competitors for that search, and the pages you'd need to beat. It's competitor research and rank tracking in one view.
Keyword metrics & AI suggestions
For every tracked keyword you also get its monthly search volume, CPC, competition and intent, so you can prioritise the terms worth your effort. And if you're not sure what to track, the AI keyword suggestions propose keywords your site should be ranking for — a head start instead of a blank page.
Rank tracker vs rank checker
They sound the same but do different jobs:
- A rank tracker (this tool) monitors your positions over time and keeps the history, automatically.
- A rank checker is a one-off "where do I rank right now" lookup — handy for a quick spot-check, but with no history.
For ongoing SEO you want the tracker. For a quick one-time look, use the keyword rank checker instead.
How to track your keyword rankings
Three steps:
1. Add the keywords to track
Add the keywords you want to rank for to your project — type your own, or pick from the AI keyword suggestions.
2. It tracks automatically
RankNibbler checks your Google organic position for each keyword on a schedule — weekly on the free tier — and records the history.
3. Watch your positions over time
See each keyword's current position, the change since the last check, the ranking URL, a history chart, and the full top-100 SERP.
Frequently asked questions
How do I track my keyword rankings?
Add keywords to a project; RankNibbler checks your Google organic position on a schedule and records the history automatically — no manual checking.
What's the difference between a rank tracker and a rank checker?
A rank checker is a one-off "where do I rank now" lookup; a rank tracker monitors your positions over time and keeps the history, so you can see trends and catch drops.
Is there a free rank tracker?
Yes — RankNibbler's free tier tracks 10 keywords with weekly checks on mobile. More keywords, daily checks and desktop tracking are on paid plans.
How often should I check my keyword rankings?
Weekly suits most ongoing SEO; daily is for competitive niches or right after a change. The tracker runs automatically, so you don't check manually.
Can I track local and mobile rankings?
Yes — track positions by country/location and on mobile or desktop, since rankings differ by both.
How accurate is rank tracking?
It reads the live Google results rather than estimating, but real rankings vary by location, device and personalisation, so the figures are a faithful snapshot of a neutral search.
Can I see which competitors rank for my keywords?
Yes — each keyword captures the full top-100 organic results, so you can see every page ranking above and below you for that term.
Does it show search volume and keyword difficulty?
Yes — each keyword shows monthly search volume, CPC, competition and intent, plus AI suggestions for keywords you should be tracking.
