BASELINE
Where did this ranking history begin?
The first collected result after a keyword is added becomes the baseline. Earlier positions are not reconstructed.
04 / VERIFY
Track Chrome Web Store rankings after every important change.
Track selected keywords in one Chrome Web Store search market, follow daily history from the moment tracking begins, and review meaningful movement beside observed extension updates.
CLEAR BASELINEDAILY REFRESHTHRESHOLD ALERTS
Live Ranking Tracker interface captured at the longest available range for this tracked keyword. Rankings reflect the selected market.
THE DECISION
Establish a baseline before interpreting movement.
Daily ranking data does not mean reconstructed history or real-time notifications. Ranking Tracker makes each timing boundary explicit.
CONTEXT
What changed near the ranking movement?
Place observed version events on the same timeline to investigate correlation without claiming causation.
ATTENTION
Which movement should interrupt you?
Receive a digest when a keyword crosses the selected Top-N line or moves by at least five positions.
PRODUCT FLOW
Monitor keyword rankings in one CWS market.
Tracking is a forward-looking observation process with a specific extension, keyword, and search market.
- 01
Choose what matters
Add an extension, keyword, and Chrome Web Store search market to create a specific tracking target.
- 02
Form the baseline
The first collected ranking becomes the beginning of the trend—there is no invented pre-tracking history.
- 03
Review daily movement
Tracked rankings currently refresh once per day at 16:00 UTC and retain the observed history.
- 04
Bring exceptions forward
Alert checks run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 02:00 UTC and group unsent events into one digest.
THE EVIDENCE
Connect ranking movement with observed version changes.
The page distinguishes when tracking starts, when ranks refresh, when alerts evaluate, and how version markers help investigate nearby movement.
START
Tracking baseline
Begins with the first ranking snapshot collected after the keyword is added for that extension and market.
REFRESH
Daily ranking observation
Tracked rankings currently refresh once per day at 16:00 UTC. Small result differences can occur.
INVESTIGATE
Observed version context
Extension update events can appear on the ranking timeline as investigation markers, not impact claims.
NOTIFY
Alert evaluation
Checks run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 02:00 UTC, with unsent events grouped into one email digest.
HOW TO READ THIS
Read the timeline as observed evidence, not attribution.
History begins after tracking starts and follows scheduled refreshes. Version markers help investigate nearby movement, but they do not prove that an update caused it.
PRODUCT QUESTIONS
Understand the method before you trust the output.
When does ranking history begin?
The baseline begins when you add the keyword for an extension and search market. Ranking Tracker does not fabricate earlier history.
How often are rankings refreshed?
Tracked rankings currently refresh once per day at 16:00 UTC.
Are Rank Alerts real time?
No. Alert evaluation currently runs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 02:00 UTC, then groups new events into an email digest.
Do version markers prove impact?
No. They show an observed update near ranking movement, helping you investigate correlation without claiming causation.
