From time to time, you should be checking what position you rank for so that you can be sure that your SEO campaign is actually working. 

With Semalt's free web analytics tool, you can monitor your website's position on Google TOP. Simply enter your domain name in the space provided and click on the "Analyze" button. You'll be taken to a new page called "Keywords in TOP" that gives you a report of the keywords that your website ranks for in organic search results on Google, the ranked pages on your site and their search engine result pages positions for a specific keyword. 

You can decide to either analyze both your core domain and subdomains or you can leave out the subdomains to get information about your core domain only. 

On this same page, you can choose from out of the numerous Google search engines that your website already ranks in for at least one keyword. For example, if your business serves Canadians in particular, asides checking your ranking on the major Google search website (https://google.com), you can check your ranking on the Canadian specific Google search site (https://google.ca). 

The list of Google search engines is arranged in descending order of the amount of keywords. You'll find a chart (called number of keywords in TOP) that displays the number of keywords in the ranking pages of Google over time. 

The chart shows you the changes in the number of keywords your site ranks for in the top 100 organic search results pages of Google. You can view it per month, week or day.

If you scroll down, you can see the keywords distribution by TOP. Here you'll see the number of keywords your site ranks for in the organic search results of Google TOP 1-100, set against a previous date. You can also view it in a monthly, weekly or daily format.

You have the option to select the time frame you want to monitor and you can view the SERP positions of your site for the dates you have selected and the changes that have occurred between those two dates. You can filter the information in the table using different criteria such as a keyword (or part of it), a URL (or part of it), TOP 1-100, and changes in position.
