Competitor Monitoring
Competitor Monitoring watches where a competitor ranks in Google Norway for the keywords you choose, automatically every day or week. The measurements are real search result data from DataForSEO, and you are alerted in the app when the competitor moves three or more positions, or enters or leaves the top 20.
You pay per measurement, not per alert: 12 credits each time a monitor actually runs. A daily monitor therefore costs around 360 credits per month; a weekly one around 50. Creating the monitor is free, and failed measurements are not charged.
Who it's for
Anyone with one or a few competitors they truly care about, who wants to know when they move without checking manually. For your own rankings, Daily Rank Tracker is the tool.
Prerequisites
- Growth plan or higher
- Credit balance for ongoing measurements (see costs above)
- The competitor's domain and up to 50 keywords
Step by step
- Enter the competitor domain; protocol and www are stripped automatically.
- Add the keywords, up to 50. Duplicates are removed.
- Pick a frequency: daily or weekly. Start weekly and upgrade if the competitor is active.
- Create. The first measurement happens on the next run (the queue is checked every six hours), and the first measurement never alerts; it sets the baseline.
Reading the results
- The alerts in the widget show what happened: climbed, dropped, entered or left the top 20. Movements under three positions are deliberately not alerted; small noise is not worth acting on.
- The monitor list shows status per monitor, including "never measured" before the first run. Pause and resume at will; paused monitors cost nothing.
- If your balance runs out, the monitor pauses automatically instead of piling up.
Common problems
- No alerts for a long time: the competitor is probably standing still, which is also information. Check the monitor list for the last measurement time.
- A keyword is missing from measurements: keywords without a usable search result are omitted from the measurement rather than stored as null; they reappear when data exists.
Limitations
- Google Norway in Norwegian only, and top 20 only.
- Maximum 50 keywords per monitor.
- Measurement history is kept for 90 days.
- Alert texts are currently in Norwegian regardless of app language.
