The problem it solves

You know search rankings shift constantly, but checking them by hand every day is not realistic, so you only look when something feels off. By then you have already lost visibility and cannot tell what changed or when.

Who it fits

SEO professionals, marketers, and website owners who need a daily record of their search rankings without manual checking.

How it works

  1. The system runs on a daily schedule
  2. It searches Google for your target keyword and reads the results
  3. It finds your website's position and counts competitors above and below
  4. It compares today's rank to yesterday's to calculate the change
  5. A new row with the date, position, and change is added to your spreadsheet
What you get

Ranking history you can review anytime

You get a daily record of your search ranking position and how it moves compared to the day before.

What you get

A day-by-day ranking history in a spreadsheet, showing your position and how it moved.

What you need

A SerpApi account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
