SEO glossary A to ZHow to track your search rankings
The Rankings screen records where your pages really appear for the searches you track, and orders them by what each search is worth.
Rankings records your search positions over time. PageSoar checks them every week, and you can press Check positions now for a fresh check. On a new workspace, the screen offers to record this week's positions.
What each row shows#
- Page and The search.
- Searches/mo: how often the search is made, when measured.
- Worth winning? A label such as buying, researching, no measured demand or your own name.
- Position and Moved: the move compares your last two measured positions. A first check shows first check; an unchanged one shows held.
- Checked: the date of the reading.
Why the order looks odd#
Rows are ordered by what the search is worth, not by where you sit: a position 24 on a market people buy in beats a position 1 on a search made ninety times a month. Smaller searches fold into a section below.
Pages with no position#
Some pages are tracked but have no measured position. Search Console's average is not used for them, because it blends every query and device that page appears for and cannot tell you where you rank for one search.
