Track my Google rankings for key searches
A weekly position report for your key searches from Search Console, with the drops and gains.
- On a schedule: Every Monday at 7:00
What it does
The task
Open Google Search Console for site and read the Performance report for the last 7 days for these queries: queries. For each query, record the average position, the clicks, the impressions and the top page. Compare the values with the 7 days before and with the Google Sheet sheet url, and add this week's values in a new column. Send me each query that lost 3 or more positions or 20% of its clicks, with the page and a likely cause. Also list the new queries with more than 100 impressions.
- It works in Google Search Console and Google Sheets, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
- As a routine it runs every Monday at 7:00 (cron
0 7 * * 1).
