How to Set up Keyword Rank Tracking?

To set up keyword rank tracking for your website, make sure that your Google Search Console is ready. Then, let's follow these steps:

Go to the Google Search Console page.

Find all your ranking Keywords using Google Search Console​

• Open your Google Search Console page and press on “Start now”.
• Open your Gmail associated with the Google Search Console Account which is connected to your Domain. Make sure it is the property you wanna check.
• Go to the left-side menu, and click “Performance”.
• ِAt the performance section, you will find which keywords your domain is ranking for. You can also check how many “Clicks” are there on each keyword.

Generate report using a free Google Sheets Add-on​

• Using the same Gmail associated with Google Search Console which is connected to your domain, open Google Sheets.
• Create a new sheet by clicking on the “+” button.
• Go to the upper menu and click“Add-ons”, then make a new ads-on by clicking “Get add-ons”.
• You will be directed to the Marketplace to find your add-on. Write “search analytics for sheets” in the search bar.
• You will find something like the image below, click on it and press install.
• Now, the add-on needs access to your Google data, so just click “Allow”.
• You’ve finished, just click on “Done”.
• Go back to your blank Google Spreadsheet
• Go again to “Add-ons”, but this time choose“Search Analytics for Sheets” and then click“Open Sidebar”.
• When it opens, look at the sidebar on the right area to see the “Search Analytics for Sheets”.
• Select your site in the “Verified Site” box. ( the site connected to GSC)
• Determine the date you wanna track keywords within.
• If you see “Default (Web)” in the “Search Type”, then it is ok. If not, make it now.
• Scroll to the Group and choose “Page” and “Query”.
• The “Aggregation Type:” must be determined as “Default (auto)”.
• Choose how many rows at the “Rows returned:” box. For new sites, choose “Everything”. However, if you have an old site, select “1000 rows” for getting the most accurate results.
• Choose “Create New Sheet” in the“Results Sheet:” box.
• Now, we are ready so just click on “Request Data”.
• Congratulations, when you see the confirmation message, then everything is done, and all the details will show up in your spreadsheet.
