Search Console Email Alerts

Set up and receive email notifications of keywords reported for a site by Search Console based on custom filters.

Search Console Email Notifications can help you to quickly discover when a site is ranking for new keywords. The results might help you consider adjustments to your content strategy or reporting achievement to your client, etc.

Limits: the number of alerts is equal to the number of campaigns in a package.

Settings are located in the Campaigns > Email Notifications section of Rank Ranger, and alerts are sent out after 14:00 UTC daily, weekly, or monthly depending upon the selected frequency setting.

Important! To utilize this tool, Google Search Console must be configured correctly, please refer to Rank Ranger's Search Console integration documentation.

Reports like these can be sent to your email address based on the frequency and monitoring selections you establish for the email notification.
