Organic Rankings

Organic Rankings shows the keywords Extension Ranker has found your extension ranking for in Chrome Web Store search results — including queries you never explicitly targeted. Use it to find unexpected wins, prioritize what to track, and identify new audit candidates.

How keywords are discovered

Extension Ranker maintains a keyword database covering Chrome Web Store search queries. We periodically scan that database for your extension's appearance in search results — when it shows up, the keyword is added to your Organic Rankings list with the position recorded.

You don't need to add keywords manually; discovery happens automatically. The trade-off is coverage: discoveries are bound by which queries our database covers. If your extension serves a niche we haven't fully indexed yet, the page may be empty until coverage expands. The header shows the Last scanned date so you always know how fresh the data is.

What you'll see

When data is available, the page is organized in two layers:

• Stats cards at the top summarize your overall position: Total discovered keywords, plus how many sit in Top 3, Top 10, and Below Top 10.
• Ranking list below. Each row shows:
  • Keyword — the discovered query. Your extension's core keyword (auto-detected from your listing) is tagged with a Core badge.
  • Search Market — the language/market the rank was observed in. EN-Global covers English worldwide; other markets show their language code.
  • Rank — your position, capped at 30+ for anything beyond the top 30.
  • Potential — a quick visual label for opportunity-rich positions: Top 3 (you're already there), Close to Top 3 (rank 4–6, push for promotion), or Top 10 (rank 7–10, room to climb).

Click the column headers to sort by Keyword or Rank in either direction.

What you can do

Each row has three quick actions:

• Audit Ranking — jump straight into a Ranking Audit for that keyword and market. Good for keywords already close to the top 3 where editing might push you over.
• Track Keyword — add the keyword to Ranking Tracker for daily monitoring. The button switches to a green checkmark once the keyword is tracked, so you can see at a glance which discoveries you've already pinned.
• Keyword Insights — open the keyword in Keyword Insights to evaluate search demand, competition, and trends before deciding whether to invest in optimization.

Why it's useful

Targeted keyword research tells you what you want to rank for. Organic Rankings tells you what you already rank for — often the fastest path to incremental growth, since you're closer to the top than you'd reach by starting from zero on a fresh keyword.
