UPDATE: Rank Tracker is NOT being retired!

[moz_support]

Thanks for the feedback!

Right now all of our keyword tracking tools, including Rank Tracker are meant to update on a weekly basis. Rank Tracker was never meant to provide daily rankings, and the rankings it does show for daily checks are not accurate due to caching.

We do realize there is a gap for one-off checks that Rank Tracker was particularly good for. But we would love to hear more about the ways you used Rank Tracker, and what functionality it provided that was valuable to your workflow. Thanks!

I understand that I can add keywords to campaigns, but how can I make a report of these keywords and show the positions of the pages in Google? This was a piece of cake in the Rank Tracker, but I have no idea how to use it now.

Rank Tracker is one of the main reasons we use MOZ, so if you don't offer a solution to this issue, I am affraid we have to look for another SEO monitoring tool.

I just need to watch the development of our Search Engine positions on a weekly basis.

The benefit of rank tracker is the speed with which I can quickly check on a keyword idea that I have for client who we have not yet signed up or just an idea that comes into my head. The benefits to being able to process my idea quickly by jumping onto Rank Tracker without the need to laboriously go through a campaign has been enormous. The convenience of quickly checking a keyword position to get that information is superb. I dont always want to have a campaign running in order to get ranking data. We reularly check something quickly and it tended to be one off situations. We are more than happy with the tracking within a full blown campaign but removing this is not helpful because i dont see this functionality elsewhere.

We also use this as a quick tool to get us data for a meeting or discussing with prospective new clients when short of time. Sometimes even in real time while talking on the phone. They are always impressed. Sadly missed!!!

Hi there!

You have a few different options for creating a report from your campaign's tracked keywords. The easiest is to set up a Custom Report, which will automatically generate on a weekly or monthly basis. You can read more about setting those up here: https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-pro-overview/custom-reports

You can also download your historical keyword ranking CSV from within your campaign at any time. Just head to the Rankings section and scroll down to the Tracked Keywords Overview, then find the button to export the CSV.

If you have any questions about setting any of that up, feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com.

Hey everyone!

As the Update of this post states, we have decided to not retire Rank Tracker until we can fully support the functionality it provides to you and your workflows.

Really do appreciate all of the feedback and we are hopeful you will provide a bit more in the Rank Tracker survey. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any other questions or concerns.

Is Rank Tracker going to be added back to the menu under 'Moz Pro'?

Great news, thanks Ian. At Brightec we use Rank Tracker on a daily basis.

I'm really happy that you guys decided to postpone the retirement (hopefully never) of Rank Tracker.

Already filled-in the survey, and hope many of us will do the survey too, so MOZ will really understand why we need this feature.

Again, many thanks for hearing our voices.

Best regards.

Hey Rick,

It should be back in the navigation. Please let me know if you are not seeing it there.

We will ensure that we are able to satisfy the needs of users before we look to remove any tool. Really appreciate all of the info shared in this thread and in the survey. The voice of you, the customer, is what really matters to us at Moz.

Thank you for reconsidering this. Rank Tracker was useful to me as a solo SEO consultant for new client prospecting. Having a lightweight tool, I can use to check rankings on an ad-hoc basis was invaluable. I haven't thought about this in great detail, but it seems like the Rank Checker could fit into Keyword Explorer, if you added extra functionality, such as tracking more than just the first ten SERP positions. The ten position limitation is one reason why I don't use the rank checker in Keyword Explorer.

Great to see a company actually adjusting to the needs of their users in a timely fashion. Well done Moz and I am really loving the new Moz Link Explorer as well! Keep up the awesome tools and SEO articles!
