Ensuring Accuracy
We are committed to providing the most accurate and reliable ranking data. In most cases, we collect the top 100 search results from Google to ensure a complete view of keyword rankings. However, in certain situations where we detect discrepancies between our regular tracking and live Google results, we activate an advanced verification process to enhance accuracy.
This process involves a more resource-intensive method of collecting results, ensuring that we capture the tracked URL’s exact position along with additional surrounding results (+20 positions). This approach allows us to verify rankings with high precision while maintaining efficiency. It is not applied to all keywords or all updates—only in cases where our system detects inconsistencies that require additional verification.
Our goal is to ensure that our users receive the most precise ranking data for their websites while optimizing the speed and reliability of our tracking system.
Important notes
Queue Processing: The automatic refresh queue begins processing all keywords daily at 00:00 UTC (or on Monday 00:00 UTC for weekly refreshes). Depending on the total number of keywords, the refresh process may take some time to complete across all accounts.
Dashboard Update Time: The "last updated" time displayed in your project dashboard reflects when the last keyword in your account was updated. This timestamp is shown in UTC format.
Individual Keyword Updates: To see the exact update time for each keyword, view the information individually within your account in the table.
On-Demand Refreshes: Triggering a manual refresh will override the automatic update for selected keywords. The "last updated" timestamp will reflect this manual refresh time.
Bi-hourly Update Requirement: To maintain bi-hourly updates, login at least once every 3 days. Otherwise, your account will switch to daily updates until you log in again. This ensures efficient use of resources for active users.
