COMPETITOR RANK TRACKING
Monitor competitor rankings alongside the pages that move them
Add the search phrases you care about and RivalSweep checks where your domain and your competitors' domains rank on Google, keeps the history, and flags the moves in your weekly briefing — in the same workspace that watches their pages.
To monitor competitor rankings you need two things: a list of the search phrases that matter, and a repeated check of who ranks where. Doing it by hand means opening search results in a private window per phrase, per country and per device, and remembering last month's order. Dedicated rank trackers solve that but live in a separate tool from the competitor pages that often explain the move.
RivalSweep bundles keyword rank tracking into every plan. Track a phrase and it checks where your domain and each tracked competitor rank in Google results, adds a point to that keyword's position history on every check, and records a meaningful movement — yours or a rival's — as a rank-change event.
What rank tracking covers
Your position vs rivals
For each keyword, where your domain ranks next to the best-ranking rival domain you track.
Market, location, device
Pick the Google country and language edition, optionally a location, and desktop or mobile — rankings can differ across all three.
History and rank moves
Every check adds a position point; a meaningful move by you or a competitor is recorded as a rank-change event.
Weekly briefing
Rank moves are rolled into the weekly briefing next to the page changes they may relate to.
Why rank checks belong next to page monitoring
A competitor that jumps three positions for a keyword usually changed something: a new landing page, a rewritten pricing page, a new comparison post. When rank data and page changes live in separate tools, connecting the two is manual work that rarely happens.
In RivalSweep both sit in one workspace and one weekly briefing. The rank move is observed data; any suggestion that a page change caused it is interpretation, and AI interpretation is always labeled as inference.
Limits and check frequency by plan
Every plan includes rank tracking with multi-location and device options. Starter tracks 100 keywords with weekly checks; Team tracks 1,000 keywords with daily checks; Scale tracks 5,000 keywords with daily checks. You can also trigger a check on demand from a keyword's detail page.
Starting without a keyword list
If you used “Not sure who to watch?” during onboarding, the search phrases it suggested carry straight into keyword tracking as one-click “Track” options. Those suggestions are AI-sharpened when your workspace's AI budget allows it.
What it is not
RivalSweep tracks Google results for the phrases you add. It is not a full SEO suite with backlink data, site audits or keyword research, and it does not scrape logged-in or private pages.
Why RivalSweep for competitor rank monitoring
- Bundled on every plan from $19/mo — no separate rank-tracker subscription.
- Your position is shown against your rival domains for each keyword, not in isolation.
- Multi-location and device options on every plan, with position history on every keyword.
- Rank moves arrive in the same weekly briefing as the competitor page changes behind them.
- Fact and inference stay separate: the rank and the diff are observed; why it moved is labeled inference.
Frequently asked
How do I monitor competitor rankings?
Add the search phrases you want to follow and your own domain plus the competitors you track. RivalSweep checks where each domain ranks in Google for each phrase on your plan's schedule, keeps a position history, and records meaningful moves as rank-change events that appear in your weekly briefing.
Can I track competitor SERP rankings by country, location or device?
Yes. Each keyword picks a market (the country and language edition of Google), and can optionally be scoped to a location and to desktop or mobile, since rankings can differ across all three.
How do I monitor SERP competitors for a keyword?
Track the keyword and add the rival domains you compete with. RivalSweep shows your position next to the best-ranking rival domain for that keyword and records when either side moves.
How often are rankings checked, and how many keywords can I track?
Starter checks 100 keywords weekly; Team checks 1,000 keywords daily; Scale checks 5,000 keywords daily. Any keyword can also be checked on demand from its detail page.
Does RivalSweep replace a dedicated SEO tool?
No. It tracks rankings for the phrases you add, next to competitor page monitoring. It does not offer backlink analysis, site audits or keyword research.
