RANK TRACKER
Mobile rank tracking,
kept apart from desktop.
Phones and desktops can see different results pages. Rank Tracker checks each keyword on both every week and keeps their positions, stored results and history separate.
A desktop position says little about the phone in your buyer’s hand.
Three times the device turns out to be the whole story.
Rank held, visits fell
“Desktop looks fine. Where did the mobile visits go?”
The mobile line for the same keyword shows whether the slide happened on phones only.
A crowded phone screen
“We rank fourth, and nobody scrolls that far on a phone.”
The stored mobile results show what sits above you: an AI Overview, videos or a question box.
A new mobile layout
“Did the redesign change anything?”
Compare mobile positions in the weeks either side of the launch.
Two devices, checked on the same schedule.
Every keyword gets a desktop and a mobile record, side by side and never averaged.

See the SERP checker →Two devices, two separate records.
Position, results page and history are all kept per device, so neither hides the other.
Desktop and mobile, each with its own number.
Every keyword carries two positions per check. Neither is averaged into the other.

Follow each device week by week.
Desktop and mobile each build their own history from your first check, so a slide on one cannot hide behind the other.
- Separate linesOne for each device, per country and engine.
- A warning on a declineRaised when a keyword slips, without anyone checking by hand.
- Back to the first checkNo estimates for the weeks before you started.
One blended position hides a mobile slide.
When a figure mixes devices, a fall on phones can sit unnoticed for weeks.
A typical stack
- –One position, with the device left unclear
- –Mobile checked now and then on someone’s phone
- –No stored page to show what sat above you
- –A mobile drop noticed only once traffic fell

Results pages can differ between devices, and features such as AI Overviews, videos and question boxes can take different space on a phone. The stored pages for each device show what changed.
