The problem it solves

Checking where your pages rank in Google search results every week is tedious, and it's easy to lose track of trends over time. Doing it by hand for a full keyword list takes time better spent on strategy.

Who it fits

SEO specialists and marketing teams who track keyword performance over time.

How it works

  1. Every Monday, the system checks each keyword in your list
  2. It looks up where your target page ranks in Google search results
  3. Rankings are compared against your target URLs and domain
  4. The results are added to your spreadsheet, building a week-by-week history
What you get

Ranking changes you can chart week over week

Your keyword rankings get checked every Monday and logged automatically, building a running history in your spreadsheet.

What you get

A spreadsheet with weekly keyword ranking history for up to 12 weeks.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Serper API key.

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.
