The problem it solves

Checking where your site ranks for the keywords you care about means running the same searches over and over and copying results into a spreadsheet. It is easy to lose track of trends over time, and by the time you notice a ranking drop, you have already lost traffic.

Who it fits

Marketing teams or business owners tracking SEO rankings for target keywords.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically on a schedule, or whenever you start it manually
  2. Pulls the list of keywords and target domains from a Google Sheet
  3. Checks each keyword's search results and finds where your domain ranks
  4. Logs the rank, URL, and date to a Google Sheet for historical tracking
  5. Emails you a formatted ranking report
What you get

Rankings you track without checking manually

You get a daily email report showing exactly where your target keywords rank in Google search results.

What you get

A historical rank-tracking log in Google Sheets and an emailed ranking report.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a Bright Data account, and Gmail.

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.
