Getting started with SiteRank

SiteRank helps you monitor how your website ranks in search engine results for specific keywords or search terms in specific locations. This guide explains how to set up your account.

Setting up your account

  1. Start the setup wizard: Once you’ve signed up for SiteRank, you can view your product in the Webfactory Hub. Clicking on the product will launch the setup wizard, guiding you through adding your website and keywords. The welcome screen provides an overview of the setup process, and you can update any selections later if needed.
  2. Track your domain: start be entering the domain/web address you’d like to track. Note that if you enter www.yourdomain.co.uk, SiteRank will only track that exact subdomain. To track rankings across multiple subdomains (like shop.yourdomain.co.uk, blog.yourdomain.co.uk), we recommend entering only yourdomain.co.uk. You can change your domain later by deleting the current one and adding a new one via the 'Settings' tab.
  3. Add your search terms: search terms are the keywords or phrases you want to monitor in search engine results. Begin by adding a few terms you’d like to track for your domain. Please note: the number of search terms you can track may be limited based on your selected plan. You can add and remove search terms later if you wish.
    • Search term: enter the keywords or phrases you want to track, for example: 'Plumber in Cardiff'.
    • Location type: choose City or Country.
    • Location: enter the city or country to simulate search results from that area.
  4. Complete setup: after adding your search terms, click Finish to complete the setup process.

Post-setup features

Once setup is complete, you can access all features from your SiteRank product page:

    • Overview tab: this will show all your key metrics.
    • Search term tab: you can view current rankings for each search term by clicking on them. Note that rankings may take a few minutes to appear and will update regularly depending of your chosen bundle. You'll be able to see:
      • Real-time rankings for each keyword.
      • Ranking history and trends over time.
      • Add or remove at any time via the 'Search term' tab.
    • Settings tab: change the tracked domain (only one domain can be tracked at a time).
    • Upgrade your subscription to track more keywords.
