Track Keyword Rankings

The Ranking Tracker helps you monitor your SEO progress by recording your extension's search rank for selected keywords every day.

Follow these steps to start tracking your critical keywords.

1. Add Keywords to Track

Navigate to Ranking Tracker, select your extension from the top dropdown, and click the Track Keyword button.

In the dialog that appears:

  1. Enter the specific keyword you want to monitor.
  2. Select the target language for the search market.
  3. Click Add.

Note: Your billing plan determines your keyword tracking limit (Monitor Quota). If you hit your limit, you will need to upgrade to track additional terms.

2. View Tracker Overview

Once keywords are added, the tracker will begin plotting their daily rank.

On the Overview tab, you can quickly review:

  • The total number of tracked keywords vs. your quota limits.
  • The Language Distribution of your tracked keywords.
  • Your average rank across different language markets.

3. Check Rank Trends

Switch to the Ranks List tab to see a detailed table of all monitored keywords for your active extension.

Here you can easily spot:

  • Current Rank: Where you stand today.
  • Change Indicator: A green (+X) or red (-X) badge showing if your rank has improved or declined over the selected timeframe.
  • Sparkline Chart: A miniature visual representation of your rank trajectory.

4. Analyze Version Updates (Show Events)

To get deeper insights, click on any keyword in the list to open its Keyword Detail page.

On this page, you will see a detailed, full-size Ranking Trend chart.

Pro Tip: Check the Show Events box above the chart. This will overlay vertical markers corresponding to the dates you released new versions of your extension on the Chrome Web Store. By correlating these update markers with upward or downward shifts in your rank trend line, you can accurately measure the SEO impact of your recent optimizations!

Next Step: To analyze broader metrics beyond just keywords—such as weekly user growth and total reviews—check out the Extension Overview tool.
