You will see yourself achieving better results if you measure precisely your rankings and try to understand why you go up or down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why a SERP tracker is a necessary tool in your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are many offerings, and if you\u2019re like me, you want nothing less than the best SERP tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily for you, we\u2019ve purchased them all and benchmarked them against each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is the best SERP tracker?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do you need rank tracking?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SERP tracking tools help you understand your position on the search engine. Most SEO tools have their own SERP tracker, but they differ a lot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These differences are usually in how exhaustive the SERP tracking software analyzes your performance on search engines, but also in how often they\u2019re updated, and how easy they are to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been in the SEO world for a while, you know the panic a new algorithm update can cause. As soon as the search engine update rolled out, it\u2019s important to know how well you\u2019re faring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you dropped positions on the SERP (<strong>S<\/strong>earch <strong>E<\/strong>ngine <strong>R<\/strong>esults <strong>P<\/strong>age, btw) you should know as fast as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this information, you can then adapt your articles to what search engines want. And the only way to get this information is with a good SERP Tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But today, most SEO tools advertise that they have the best SERP tracking features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how can you choose?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is the best rank tracking tool for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factors to consider in a good SERP tracking tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SERP tracking may seem straightforward. You need a tool that analyzes search engines and tells you how high up you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But rank tracking has a lot of facets to it. Here\u2019s what you should keep in mind when looking for the best SERP tracking tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Crawl dates.<\/strong> If a tool doesn\u2019t update their rank tracking too often, chances are that you won\u2019t get extremely valuable information when you need it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keywords tracked.<\/strong> If you have a small site, you won\u2019t need to track thousands of keywords. In that case, you can make due with a cheaper alternative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reporting data.<\/strong> What information do you get from a tool\u2019s rank tracking? If you just need a keyword\u2019s current rank, a lot of SERP tracking software have you covered. If you need advanced historical data, you\u2019ll need something more expensive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What search engine<\/strong> you\u2019re competing on. We only have experience with Google, and we think that\u2019s the case for most SEOs. It\u2019s just the most profitable platform. But if your site is also focused on Bing, or Yandex, coverage for those is important.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pricing. <\/strong>Even if you know what the best search engine ranking tool is, you shouldn\u2019t go and buy it instantly. It\u2019s important to consider your budget, and the rank tracking tool\u2019s price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your skill level.<\/strong> A tool like AccuRanker is comprehensive, but it can be inaccessible to beginners. In that case, the Mangools suite could be better, even if it\u2019s not as good at rank tracking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other tools.<\/strong> A rank tracker will usually also feature tools like mention alerts, and domain tracker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering these factors, we rounded up the best rank tracker tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best SERP Tracking Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that the rank tracker tools you\u2019ll see below also have tons of other SEO tools in their suite. We\u2019re not ranking these apps based on their overall performance. We\u2019re just looking at the rank tracker functionalities, and how they can help your affiliate site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-f86c01fd gb-headline-text list-headline\"><em>1<\/em> SERPWoo<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-shadow\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/serpwoo-homepage-1024x402.jpg\" alt=\"Serpwoo Homepage\" class=\"wp-image-59192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/serpwoo-homepage-1024x402.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/serpwoo-homepage-300x118.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/serpwoo-homepage-768x302.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/serpwoo-homepage.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>SERPWoo\u2019s main strength is in its complex feature set. With it, SEOs can track individual keywords, on different search engines or devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can also analyze the overall performance of particular sites, and a combo of domain-keywords. This is great to keep an eye on your own keyword rankings, but it\u2019s also a great tool to analyze your competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SERPWoo\u2019s interface may seem crowded when you first open it, but that\u2019s just a hallmark of a good rank tracker. SERP features are complex, so a good overview is required if you want an accurate representation of your search engine ranking position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention, users can easily get used to its interface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to track keyword rankings without too much hassle, you can also set-up alerts with SERPWoo. They\u2019ll notify you whenever your tracked keywords either rise or drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SERPWoo also offers great API access. If you want to power-up your SEO tool with other integrations, it\u2019s possible in SERPWoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So what about price?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SERPWoo has a lot of pricing options, ranging from <strong>$49.95 to $299.95. <\/strong>The cheapest option lets you track 750 keywords per month, which is a pretty decent number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SERPWoo also gives you access to a keyword research tool, and advanced functionalities for reporting SERP data. Moreover, SERPWoo\u2019s ORM (Online Reputation Management) system is a great tool to track your company\u2019s mentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, SERPWoo might not be super beginner-friendly, and its alerts system could take a while to master, But it remains one of the best SERP tracking software on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-d995c08a\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-1341507e gb-button-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/recommends\/serpwoo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Get Started With SERPWoo<\/strong><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-9f0ca5f9 gb-headline-text list-headline\"><em>2<\/em> SE Ranking<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-shadow\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/seranking-homepage-1024x424.jpg\" alt=\"Seranking Homepage\" class=\"wp-image-59186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/seranking-homepage-1024x424.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/seranking-homepage-300x124.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/seranking-homepage-768x318.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/seranking-homepage.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/recommends\/se-ranking\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/recommends\/se-ranking\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">SE Ranking<\/a> is an all-in-one SEO tool with plenty of tools on its belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let\u2019s get a quick round-up of what SE can do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>SERP tracking (who would\u2019ve guessed?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keyword research and generation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Site crawling and auditing tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social media marketing tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On-page content enrichment features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>SE Ranking prides itself on being very user-friendly. That is its USP, and for the most part, it\u2019s true. While any all-in-one SEO tool will have tons of features and dashboard, making it hard for some people to get a hang of it, SE Ranking has a pretty flat learning curve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Site crawling, keyword research, and social media aren\u2019t extremely relevant for this article, so we won\u2019t go too in-depth with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only thing we\u2019ll mention is that the keyword research tool isn\u2019t impressive. If that\u2019s important to you, you might want to check out other tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how good is SE Ranking as far as SERP tools are concerned?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s pretty good. SE Ranking lets you analyze individual keywords, monitor historical data, and understand how your site is progressing on the SERP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these data sets are laid out in easy to follow dashboards. These tools all fit in nicely with their other valuable functionalities, like the site audit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SE Ranking also tracks all the major search engines, including Google, Bing, Yandex, and even YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as rank trackers go, SE Ranking is a very good choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention, it\u2019s extremely affordable, although the pricing scheme can be complicated to navigate. Here\u2019s a glimpse of it:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-shadow\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/seranking-pricing-1.jpg\" alt=\"Seranking Pricing\" class=\"wp-image-59194\" style=\"width:675px;height:451px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can choose how often SE Ranking updates your keyword tracking. For an annual subscription, you\u2019ll pay <strong>$23 each month<\/strong> if you want daily updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you\u2019re fine with your keyword tracking being updated once a week, you can pay as little as <strong>$15 each month<\/strong>. You\u2019ll get 250 keywords to track for this price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re mentioning all of this because we want to underline how accessible this tool is. It\u2019s both affordable, and easy to use for beginner SEOs. If you\u2019re new to SERP checker tools, give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-d995c08a\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-1341507e gb-button-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/recommends\/se-ranking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Get Started With SE Ranking<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-b579bceb gb-headline-text list-headline\"><em>3<\/em> AccuRanker<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-shadow\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/accuranker-homepage-1024x454.jpg\" alt=\"Accuranker Homepage\" class=\"wp-image-59187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/accuranker-homepage-1024x454.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/accuranker-homepage-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/accuranker-homepage-768x341.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/accuranker-homepage.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>AccuRanker has a professional set of SERP checker tools.

We can\u2019t say for sure if these are all true, but what we know for a fact is that AccuRanker performs really well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest benefit of the tool: On-demand SERP analysis. Even if you don\u2019t need an update for the SERP analysis, their keyword rankings still get one every day. These are all huge benefits for professional SEO that need constant updates on their site\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they\u2019re great in case a busy client needs a quick answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core of the tool \u2014 analyzing Google rankings \u2014 is also easy to navigate, and provides a ton of customizable metrics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can analyze a search ranking based on current position, historical metrics, whether or not it\u2019s in the top 500, and a lot of other metrics. Of course, all of these functionalities can also be used to analyze your competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what about reporting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keyword ranking tools that want to market themselves to agencies need advanced reporting features to serve their audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AccuRanker doesn\u2019t disappoint. You can generate custom reports for any set of data available in SERP tracker tools, with a nice drag-and-drop report builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention, AccuRanker is great at integrating with other tools. You can install APIs from relevant tools, like the Google Data Studio, Google Analytics, Databox or Google Search Console.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AccuRanker is the best SERP checker tool for agencies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what\u2019s the damage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AccuRanker is not as expensive as you might expect, although it is on the pricey side. For 1000 tracked keywords, you\u2019ll spend <strong>$99\/month<\/strong> on an AccuRanker subscription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more keywords you need, the more expensive it gets.

If you\u2019re looking for a web crawler, you won\u2019t need to look any further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But its SERP keyword tracker isn\u2019t the most reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the good stuff: interface and metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahrefs\u2019 SERP ranking tools are well organized, and it\u2019s easy to get quick insights on a SERP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019ll show the basic information, like keyword rank, average position, and some historical metrics. Ahrefs also displays icons for the Google SERP features available on each individual SERP, like what type of featured snippets there are on-page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For advanced searches, users can also analyze advanced metrics like CPC, the number of SERP features capitalized by a page, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only problem? Ahrefs only updates its search engine rankings every 7-5 days for the affordable subscription tiers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s ok if you want to look at historical metrics, and get a general overview of your positions over time. But it\u2019s far too slow to react to big changes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need speedy updates, you might need a different SERP tracking solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how much does Ahrefs cost?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cheapest version is <strong>$99\/month<\/strong>, and comes with 500 keywords for the SERP tracker tool. The most expensive version is <strong>$999\/month<\/strong>, but it\u2019s an agency plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is Ahrefs for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need an all-in-one SEO tool, with limited keyword rank tracking capabilities, Ahrefs is the best tool on the market. We couldn\u2019t recommend it enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the second largest crawler online (after Google), its keyword research tools are amazing, and it\u2019s got good backlink research and site audits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for just tracking tools\u2026 you might want to pick other options on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-d995c08a\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-1341507e gb-button-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/recommends\/ahrefs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Get Started With Ahrefs<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-c9b045a9 gb-headline-text list-headline\"><em>5<\/em> Serpwatch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-shadow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/serpwatch-homepage.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/serpwatch-homepage-1024x407.jpg\" alt=\"Serpwatch Homepage\" class=\"wp-image-59191\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/serpwatch.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Serpwatch<\/a> is a great alternative to AccuRanker.

But like AccuRanker, Serpwatch has tons of capabilities that are better suited for agencies, rather than the average SEO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advanced reports and white-labeling make it great for companies that need access to good data, but also have clients to keep happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serpwatch can analyze particular keywords, and domain-keyword combinations to provide the data you need. This data includes current rankings, as well as historical metrics, and entire site breakdowns. You can also update rankings each hour, if you want. The default timer for updates is 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s also the only way to analyze your competition. It\u2019s slightly disappointing that you don\u2019t get a dedicated competition analysis dashboard, but users can make due with what\u2019s available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is really missing from Serpwatch\u2019s toolset is advanced backlink analysis. It\u2019s not the best all-in-one SEO tool.

And it\u2019s a pretty good one. If you\u2019re looking for an in-depth breakdown of what Serpstat can do, check that blog post out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, for a quick overview of what Serpstat offers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Advanced web ranking data for multiple search engines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keyword and competitor research.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advertising data and management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Site audits and web crawling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A ton of APIs and integrations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of rank tracking features, Serpstat also has an exhaustive toolset. You can use it to rank specific SERPs, niches, or competitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you can do it all in real-time, or schedule it. You can also segment your analysis based on locations, making it easy to track how you\u2019re faring in specific areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the rank tracking feature isn\u2019t everything you can do with Serpstat. You can also crawl SERPs on the Google search engine, or other search engines to get data on things like \u201cwhere could I target featured snippets?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of that can be integrated with third-party tools through Serpstat\u2019s APIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Serpstat\u2019s UI could be improved upon. But that\u2019s a good tradeoff when you consider the amount of data you get for the low price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serpstat\u2019s cheapest plan is<strong> $48\/month<\/strong>. And you get <strong>4000 daily searches <\/strong>for that money. Granted, these searches are spread across all of its features, not just the SERP checker. But it\u2019s still an amazing price point for what you get.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-d995c08a\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-1341507e gb-button-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/recommends\/serpstat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Get Started With SERPStat<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-34594515 gb-headline-text list-headline\"><em>7<\/em> SEMRush<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-shadow\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/semrush-homepage-1024x410.jpg\" alt=\"Semrush Homepage\" class=\"wp-image-59188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/semrush-homepage-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/semrush-homepage-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/semrush-homepage-768x307.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/semrush-homepage.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/semrush-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEMRush<\/a> is the true jack of all trades in online marketing. From SEO to PPC and social media, SEMRush can do it all. To certain degrees of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might expect, that entails a steep learning curve. And it definitely means SEMRush is not for everyone. If you\u2019re just starting your first affiliate site, you won\u2019t need the advanced paid advertising support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019re an experienced webmaster, with a few sites under your belt\u2026 you wouldn\u2019t buy an SEMRush subscription if you\u2019re not that active on Google Ads and you don\u2019t need social media tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But SEMRush is valuable for agencies or online entrepreneurs that have their eggs in all baskets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what about its SERP checker?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEMRush has a decent keyword rank tracker. You can manually add keywords to the tool to see how you\u2019re doing at a given time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also set-up automated alerts about your performance, and your mentions. All in all, it\u2019s a pretty good deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s limited, even when compared to weaker SERP trackers like Ahrefs. So it doesn\u2019t really justify the price tag, unless you\u2019re in that very specific demographic that wants a little bit of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even then, you might get a better deal with multiple tools for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEMRush\u2019s cheapest plan is <strong>$119.95\/month<\/strong>.

It\u2019s especially good for local results. It\u2019s not too complex, or customizable, so it makes for an amazing beginner tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SERPWatcher is the Mangools rank tracker tool, and it does a pretty good job. It\u2019s updated on a daily basis, which means you can stay in touch with your performance on the SERP at any time, and react to events accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention, their ranking reports are top-notch, with a lot of valuable metrics visualized very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much will this cost you though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mangools basic (which features all the Mangools tools) is only <strong>$30\/month<\/strong>. That\u2019s a very small price to pay, but unfortunately you only get 100 SERP look-ups, and 200 keywords to track. For a comprehensive solution, you\u2019ll need the Premium plan. It\u2019s <strong>$40\/month<\/strong>, but it gives you 500 lookups and 700 keywords. More than enough for a beginner.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-328b020a\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-4d9f8be7 gb-button-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/recommends\/mangools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Get Started With Mangools<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-66dbda01 gb-headline-text list-headline\"><em>9<\/em> Sitechecker.pro<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-shadow\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitechecker-Website-1024x465.png\" alt=\"Sitechecker's website\" class=\"wp-image-88499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitechecker-Website-1024x465.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitechecker-Website-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitechecker-Website-768x349.png 768w, https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitechecker-Website.png 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sitechecker.pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sitechecker<\/a> is a pretty good SEO tool.
