Test it

Using "rank-tracker". Compare the June and July ranking exports for example.com across ten priority keywords.

Expected outcome:

Overall trend: six keywords improved, two declined, and two remained stable.
Largest gain: pricing software moved from position 12 to 6, based on the provided exports.
Priority action: investigate the two declining pages before changing stable content.

Using "rank-tracker". Review our SERP feature and AI citation visibility against two competitors.

Expected outcome:

The site owns two featured snippets while the competitor average is four.
AI citation data are unavailable for three keywords and are marked accordingly.
The strongest opportunity is a concise comparison section for the highest-volume uncovered query.

One medium-risk command invocation is confirmed because it directs execution of an external Python script with an unquoted domain placeholder. The other findings are false positives caused by Markdown syntax, metadata URLs, relative documentation links, and ordinary prose.

**Zero-dependency measurement loop** (no paid tool needed): never narrate a ranking movement you did

The line explicitly directs execution of a Python ledger script and interpolates an unquoted domain placeholder. Shell interpretation could enable argument or command injection.

What You Can Build

Review Weekly Keyword Movement

Compare weekly exports, identify important gains and losses, and prioritize investigation.

Monitor Competitive Search Visibility

Compare priority terms against direct competitors and highlight emerging threats or opportunities.

Summarize Portfolio Ranking Health

Create a sourced ranking summary across markets, devices, SERP features, and AI citations.

Try These Prompts

Create a Baseline

Track rankings for [domain] using [keywords] in [market] on [device]. Label every position by source and create the first baseline.

Compare Two Snapshots

Compare these ranking snapshots for [domain]. Show each keyword delta, biggest gains, biggest losses, new rankings, lost rankings, and next actions.

Analyze SERP and AI Visibility

Analyze SERP features and AI visibility for [keywords]. Compare ownership, citations, competitors, content gaps, and source confidence. Mark unavailable metrics clearly.

Diagnose a Ranking Decline

Investigate this ranking decline using [snapshots], [competitor data], and [technical signals]. Separate measured facts from hypotheses and prioritize recovery actions by urgency.

Best Practices

Provide dated snapshots with the same market, device, language, and search engine.
Separate measured values, user-provided values, estimates, and unavailable metrics.
Review large movements against competitors, technical events, and known algorithm updates.

Avoid

Do not claim movement when no prior baseline exists.
Do not present inferred positions or causes as measured facts.
Do not compare snapshots with different markets or devices without clear segmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What data does this skill need?

Provide a domain, target keywords, market, device, and current positions. Add a prior snapshot to calculate movement.

Can it work without a paid rank tracker?

Yes. You can provide manually checked positions or exports, but each value must include a clear source label.

What happens on the first run?

The first run becomes the baseline. All changes remain unavailable until a later snapshot is recorded.

Does it track SERP features?

Yes. It can compare snippets, People Also Ask, media packs, local packs, and related ownership changes.

Can it monitor AI search visibility?

Yes. It reports AI Overview presence and citations when measured data exist. Missing observations remain unavailable.

Can it prove why a ranking changed?

No. It proposes likely causes from available signals, but ranking movement alone does not establish causation.
