The problem it solves

Watching your search rankings by hand means logging into tools every day and still missing sudden drops until it is too late. By the time you notice, you may have already lost traffic and customers to competitors.

Who it fits

Marketing teams or business owners who depend on Google search traffic.

How it works

  1. Every day the system checks your keywords against live Google search results
  2. It compares today's rankings to prior days to spot changes
  3. Rankings are logged in Google Sheets for a running history
  4. A daily summary is posted to Slack
  5. If a ranking drops below your threshold, an alert email goes out through Gmail
What you get

Ranking drops you catch the same day they happen

You get a daily read on where your keywords rank on Google, with an alert the moment one of them slips.

What you get

A daily ranking history in Google Sheets plus Slack summaries and email alerts on critical drops.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a Slack workspace, and an OpenAI 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.
