Have you found yourself struggling to monitor your keywords in Google? A lot of people will sign up for an account with various monthly tracking sites. The bad part to this is it cost you a monthly expense. I like to save money as much as the next webmaster. So it makes sense to install a WordPress plugin that can track your keywords and provide you with reports. I’m going to share with you a plugin I have been using for about three months now. Let me introduce to you Rankie.
Here is a good video on YouTube I found on Rankie:
Downloading The gives Plugin
First, you’re going to need to purchase a license from https://codecanyon.net/item/rankie-wordpress-rank-tracker-plugin/7605032. Then you’re going to want to install the plugin and activate it.
Settings With Rankie
Next, you are going to want to go to your WordPress dashboard and look for the .” Icon. It will be a drop down. The following are in the drop down; dashboard, reports, research, settings, and log.
Make sure you click on “settings” and scroll down to the bottom. You will want to cut and paste your purchase code from Code Canyon into this field. Make sure you click “save changes” and then your plugin should be activated.
Next, in “settings” (the page page where we activated Rankie) make sure that you select “Google Directly for “position locating method” and make sure you are using Google.com (or whatever country you want to track your rankings).
Make sure you click “auto update ranks.”
Then you can have your report emailed to your email account daily if you want. You simply just put in your email address in this field. I like to have my emailed to me daily.
Optionally, there are number of different settings you can configure like, language, auto add terms Google finds,” job filters, proxies, and you can adjust the screen size of Rankie.
WP Rankie Dashboard
Next, we want to go into the “dashboard” and at the top click “add keywords.” You can just enter in your keywords here. Then click “add keywords.”
Above is my keywords and their rank. I have grayed out my keywords I am tracking. You can sort them by “keyword” or “position”.
Next, you can click on any keyword and then scroll down to the bottom. You can view a ranking chart (which shows how your keyword has changed over time). Is a good way to see where you keywords are growing over time.
Next, you can view your “rank records”. Give you a date, rank, and the URL that you are tracking.
Reports
This is an awesome plugin that i have been using for about a month or so now. I love to download it and install it on websites I run or clients sites where we need to manage different keywords. We can easily track our keywords and don’t have to keep paying a monthly bill. It’s a one time fee. You can even have your email reports emailed to you.
Have you tried Rankie on your website? Do you have any questions that are not addressed in this article? Please leave me a comment down below about your experience using this plugin.
As a wordpress rank tracker plugin WordPress Rankie will update keywords rank positions daily and generate powerfull reports.It also incorporate a powerfull research tool that generates valuable keyword lists Googlers are already using to search. That’s why it is reallt great!
I agree.
I have been using Google Console as a method to track the positioning of my keywords and it has worked okay for me as a basic guideline.
The Rankie plugin looks fantastic though. You gave a nice step by step of what to do and what I can expect. I like that it can track your keywords and give you reports to chew on.
Rankie plugin is something I would consider, how much is it to buy the license?
It cost a one time fee of $16.
Hi Garen
Thanks, this is great! I love being able to keep track of my keywords at a glance and I also love getting reports too. I’ve tried a number of different rank checkers but they are all very costly.
I checked and this is $16 which is very affordable.
It looks like that price is only for one website but I am not 100% sure… is that correct? I’ve got 3 websites so that would make a big difference to my costs.
I love the keyword research tool that it includes, how awesome.
You can install it on multiple websites. I have personally installed it on a number of different sites for me and also my clients.
Hi Garen
ok this seems like a great plugin! Because I feel like keyword rankings is a weakness of Google Analytics. I love the fact that it tracks keywords over time as well. But let me ask you a question about the ranking number. Is it compared to other keywords on your site or how it is ranked compared to other sites using the same keyword? Overall, I agree with you that it is a good plug in to purchase (for a reasonable one time fee) and it does seem pretty easy to navigate from the video you included.
Actually, Google Webmaster Tools is used for ranking not Google Analytics. It’s a good idea to monitor your ranking with Google Webmaster Tools.
You put in your keyword you want to track in Rankie. It tracks your website only, not your competitors. It’s integrated with https://www.whatsmyserp.com/ which is completely free if you want to set up an account and track your keywords with them 🙂
