PageOptimized rank tracking report template

Four pages: Start here, Overview, Keywords and Movers. Overview shows average position, keywords in the top 10 and top 3, and visibility by day against the previous period. Keywords lists every tracked keyword with its position, previous check, change, best position and monthly searches. Movers ranks the keywords that gained or lost the most places.

Add PageOptimized as a data source in Datapipe with your PageOptimized API key, and choose the project if your key covers more than one. Then create this dashboard and authorize Google Sheets separately. Datapipe prepares two worksheets, Keywords and Daily trend, and a copy link that replaces both report sources. Save your private Data Studio report; scheduled exports update the same workbook.

PageOptimized checks each keyword separately on every search engine and device you track, so each check is its own row, named with its engine and device (for example “raised garden bed kit · Bing mobile”), with its latest position, PageOptimized’s previous check, ranking URL and best position. Monthly searches is PageOptimized’s estimate per keyword and appears once per keyword, so totals count it once. The daily trend counts every check of the day together. Reading never starts a new check, so the dashboard shows what PageOptimized last stored. Visibility stays empty.

Only keywords that rank within the tracked depth count. Keywords that are not ranked are left out rather than counted as a high number, so they don’t make the average look worse. Lower is better.

Change is the previous position minus the latest position. A keyword that moved from 8 to 5 shows +3. Keywords that are new, lost or have no earlier check show no change value and appear in the movement chart instead.

Up to the last 90 days. The dashboard opens on the last 28 days, ending yesterday, compared with the 28 days before that. Keywords and Movers show each keyword’s latest check.

No. A rank tracker checks the keywords you chose in a set market and records the position it finds. Search Console averages the position of your site across all searches where it appeared. The two answer different questions, so the numbers differ.

The template, editable Data Studio copy, PDF and CSV are free. You need a Google account to save a copy. Datapipe plans apply when you connect and refresh your own data.
