There are five key metrics displayed on the dashboard:
- Positive impact (keywords that entered first page)
- Negative impact (keywords that left first page)
- Keywords Down
- Keywords Up
- Stable keywords
In terms of filtering capabilities, you can filter by:
- Value (top 10, top 20, top 50, etc)
- Change (gone up, gone down, no change)
- Snippet (SERP features)
You can tag keywords, but there is no way to save a filter or keyword set for applying across the metrics. For that reason, Rankwatch isn’t a good fit for the campaign oriented SEO strategy.
I don’t mean to be shallow, but the dashboard contains several elements that are not aligned, or are blurry due to low resolution images. It doesn’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence about the product.
I thought perhaps it was just my browser, so I checked in multiple, and yep, it’s still the same.
I don’t get it, because the marketing site has really nice landing pages.
Couple that with the email that I received a few days into my trial that purported to show me a new competitor running ads on my keyword… only it was the site I had told Rankwatch was mine.
Pros
- Only tracker I found that can target Seznam and Naver (f that’s important to you)
- Screenshots of serps (with your site highlighted) are nice
Cons
- No way to remove trial account
- Poor selection of search engines
- UI / UX feel poorly constructed
- Email notifications could be inaccurate
