An Intro To Rank Tracking With Wincher

Measuring the results of your search engine optimization work is important but it can be cumbersome. Find out more about how Wincher can help you make your life easier and save you hundreds of hours per year.

Why track your Google rankings?

Whether you’re running a small e-commerce business or a Fortune 500-company, we can all agree that search engine optimization (SEO) has never been more important than it is right now. In 2019, maintaining a strong position in the Google rankings is absolutely crucial for having new potential customers find your business and also to protect your brand.

Regardless of whether you’re doing the SEO work by yourself or outsourcing it to an agency, it can be difficult to know exactly what results you’re getting for your time and money. Google rankings for a specific keyword differentiate a lot depending on a ton of different signals such as your location, your previous search history, and even the time of day. Besides, manually tracking the ranking for dozens or even hundreds of different keywords takes a lot of effort.

This is where a rank tracker comes into play. It solves all of these problems by tracking your rankings in a very consistent and effective manner, saving you hundreds of hours of work per year.

Introducing Wincher

Adding your first keywords

We recommend that you take a few moments to review the keyword list to see if you’re missing any important keywords. While the automatically added keywords are generally quite good, there’s also a limit to how many keywords are added.

To manage your keywords, scroll down to the keywords table. Keywords are easily added by using the “Add keywords” button and removed by selecting them and clicking on the delete button.

Adding your competitors

One of the best and most useful features of Wincher is the ability to compare your own rankings to those of your competitors. Wincher also sends you alerts when you overtake a competitor in the rankings or a competitor overtakes you. We recommend everyone using Wincher to add at least a few competitors. You can do so by navigating to the Competitors tab. Simply fill in the competitors’ domain name and click “Add”. You’ll be presented with a dashboard that looks something like this:

Using Keyword Research to find more keywords

Sometimes it’s hard to know which keywords are truly relevant for you. It’s not uncommon for keywords you’ve never even thought of to be the ones actually driving the majority traffic to your site (or have the potential to). Luckily, Wincher has a tool to find these for you: Keyword Research. Navigate to the Keyword Research tab and you’ll be presented with a list of keywords that we think you should be tracking:

Click the “Add” button on the ones that you want to track and they’ll be added to the dashboard. Easy, huh?
