Landing Page Monitor

We study rank fluctuations and find that it's common for keyword rankings to be erratic for large or complex websites. Positions drop and landing pages swap as Google attempts to identify the most relevant page or pages for a query.

To help sort out what's happening, we've developed a landing page monitor that shows all the landing pages that have ranked in the top 20 search results during the selected reporting period for a specific keyword. This allows you to not only see the top landing page for a keyword, but all landing pages for that keyword during the report period. Coupled with a display of Google Algorithm updates, and any campaign notes that you may have recorded, this tool can help you determine when and why the rank fluctuations have occurred. And you can then strategize performance improvement.

Monitor Landing Page Rank

Discover All Ranked Landing Pages

The Landing Page Monitor reveals a list of all the ranked landing pages in the top 20 search results for the selected keyword and time period.

Landing Page Monitor Displaying SEO Notations

In this example, the bold tones color palette has been selected to display the three landing pages that were ranked in the top 20 search results for the keyword being analyzed. This report monitors landing page flux and provides a summary of the current rank, traffic, search volume, and number of search results for the keyword based on the last day of the report period.

Hovering over any date point on the graph, the landing page URL and its rank display. If Notes or Events have been set to show, then that additional information overlays the graph providing a visual measuring point for landing page stability or fluctuation that occurs after the action indicated by the note or event.

Below the graph is a table containing:

The ranking landing page URL
Current Rank on the last date of the reporting period
Highest Rank recorded during the reporting period
Google SERP Features that displayed in the search results for the keyword and landing page on the report date
If Google Analytics is connected to the campaign, then the table displays the number of Traffic Sessions for the landing page
If Google Search Console is connected to the campaign, then the table includes the number of Clicks and CTR for the landing page

Google Analytics & Search Console Example
In this example, the campaign is connected to Google Analytics (Traffic) and Search Console (Clicks & CTR)

Google SERP Features
In this example, the site is being tracked on Google Mobile and two of the landing pages were presented in Google SERPs with image thumbnail, ratings, and AMP.

Marketing Dashboard
In this example, the Landing Page Monitor has been added to a marketing dashboard and is displaying Google Algorithm Change, and utilizing the custom report title feature, and Bright Tones color palette.

Rank Values Explained

No Data Found

If your account is relatively new, and depending on several variables (number of keywords, number of search engines, date range, etc.), rank reports can take anywhere from a few minutes to a 8 hours until your first reports will display all of the data. In the case of a campaign that is a day or more old, incorrect campaign configuration can lead to empty reports as well. Clicking the Default Report Settings button usually resolves the issue.

Common causes for 'no data found' message:

Account is new and our rank tracker is gathering data
Invalid date range (e.g., the report start date is older than the campaign creation date)
Keyword / URL combination on report options was not found
within the maximum supported results tracked by each search engine (refer to our current list of supported search engines and rank depth for additional information). Note that this is relevant only for rank reports and graphs.
Incomplete campaign setup (missing URL / Keywords / Search Engines / Authorized Connections)
Website is new and hasn't been indexed by search engines yet
Authorized connection to a third party data provider has expired or been configured incorrectly (refer to the third party integration or webmaster tool documentation)
Delays or outage of third party data provider (e.g., Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.)

If keywords are missing completely from a rank report, there are 2 possibilities:

New keywords may have been added to the campaign, but not selected. Learn more...
The search engine did not return any result for the keyword on any domain. In some rank reports, Rank Ranger will not display keywords for which the search engine displays no results - meaning no results for any URL on the web. So if Google.com has results, but Google Mobile does not, you will see results for the keyword in the Google.com table, but the keyword will not display at all in the Google Mobile table. That is the way the system is designed because it needs a response from the search engine in order to record a number and when there is no response, then there is no number.
