Projects: your keywords, your rankings and your competitors

One website per project: save keywords, see where you rank and where competitors beat you.

A project is one of your websites (or a client's) with its country and language. It's where you keep the keywords you work on, see where your site ranks for each one and compare yourself with competitors.

How to start

  1. 1In Projects, press New project and type your website, your customers' country and the language.
  2. 2Add keywords. From Keywords, tick the ones you want and press Save N to the project: they arrive with their data, without paying again. If you type them by hand, they arrive not measured: press Measure now to get their volume, difficulty and intent.
  3. 3Press Update rankings: you'll see in which position, from 1 to 30, your site ranks for each keyword and with which page.
  4. 4In Competitors, add a competitor's domain and press Analyze: you'll see the keywords they rank for and you don't, sorted by searches.

What you already searched gets reused

  • If you already searched your domain (Domain mode) in the last 30 days, its rankings load by themselves when you create or open the project, at no cost.
  • Then the Add the N keywords you already rank for button appears (free): it puts those keywords in the project with their volume and position.
  • Same with your competitors: if you already analyzed their domain, the comparison shows up without paying again.
  • Only what you paid for is reused: never someone else's search.

Sorting the lists

In the project's keywords, in Tracking and in Competitors, tap a column title (volume, difficulty, position, change…) to sort by it; tap it again to reverse. On a phone, use Sort by. Anything without data (“—”, “not measured”) always stays at the bottom.

“Not measured” and “—”

You seeIt means
not measuredYou haven't asked Google for its data yet. Press Measure now.
—We measured it and Google has no data for that keyword in that country (common with very rare phrases), or there's no position yet because your site isn't in the top 30.

Weekly rank tracking

With a Pro (50 keywords) or Agency (200 keywords) plan, mark the keywords you want to watch with the star ☆. Every week we check on Google which position, from 1 to 30, your site holds for each one, and in the Tracking tab you see them go up or down on a chart. It doesn't use credits: it's included in the plan.

  • The first check arrives in less than an hour; after that, once a week.
  • Choose whether we look at Google as a phone or a computer sees it: positions differ a little between the two.
  • If a keyword marked “Published” enters the top 10, it switches to “Ranking” by itself.
  • If your plan expires, tracking pauses and your history is kept.

More keywords or daily checks

Is your plan falling short? In the Tracking tab of any project, open Track more keywords or check them daily and pay with your credits:

  • Extra keywords every week

    Cost
    1 credit a month for every 4
    How
    Bought in blocks of 4 and added to your plan's limit, across all your projects
  • Daily check

    Cost
    2 credits a month per keyword
    How
    Pick which ones in the table's Daily column; the rest stay weekly
  • It's paid for 30 days. Before confirming you see what's charged today and your balance.
  • If you upgrade mid-period, you only pay the difference for the days left.
  • If you downgrade, the change applies right away, but that period's credits aren't returned: they were already paid.
  • With Renew automatically every 30 days with my credits on, another 30 days are charged when the period ends. If your balance isn't enough or your plan expired, it goes back to what your plan includes and we email you. Your history isn't lost.
  • What you spend here shows in Usage as “Extra tracking”.

Email alerts

If something important changes, we send you a single email a day (in the morning, Venezuela time: 13:00 UTC) with every keyword that moved, across all your projects. If nothing important changed, we don't write.

We alert you if a keyword…Example
Enters or leaves page one (top 10)▲ from position 14 to 6 · ▼ from 7 to 12
Appears in the top 30 or drops out of it▲ now in position 22 · ▼ was at 25
Goes up or down 5 positions or more▲ from 25 to 18 · ▼ from 12 to 17
  • Moving 1 to 4 positions is Google's normal swing: we don't alert you.
  • A keyword's first check doesn't alert: there's nothing to compare it with yet.
  • They're on by default. To turn them off for a project, untick Email me alerts in its Tracking tab.
  • They don't use credits.

Branded PDF report (Agency)

With the Agency plan, every project has a PDF report ready to send to your client: a summary (how many keywords are on page one, how many went up and down), the weekly trend on Google, the keyword table with each position and change, and where competitors beat you. It carries your logo, your name and your color, without SEOClave's branding.

  1. 1In Settings, under Your brand for reports, upload your logo (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 200 KB) and type your name, contact and color.
  2. 2Open the project and press PDF report.
  3. 3Press Download PDF and choose Save as PDF in the dialog. On an iPhone, Print opens: from there you can save or share the PDF.

The report doesn't use credits: it uses the data the project already has. To show the trend, track the keywords with the star ☆.

Limits

  • Up to 20 projects per account.
