Monitor the pages behind your rankings

What SEO teams monitor

SEO monitoring, answered

Can I monitor Google search results with this?

No. Website Change Tracker reads public web pages, and it does not scrape Google result pages, so it will not tell you that you moved from position 8 to position 5. Use a rank tracker for that. What this does is watch the pages behind the results: a competitor's title tag, their landing page copy, their schema, their robots.txt. Those explain why a ranking moved, which a position graph never does.

How do I monitor a competitor's title tags and meta descriptions?

Add the page and set the trigger on the title or description rather than the body. Both live in the page source, so a rewrite fires an alert with the old text and the new one side by side, even though nothing visible on the page changed.

Can I monitor content changes on my own site?

Yes, and it is the use most SEO teams start with. Watch your own titles, headings, and canonical tags so a CMS edit or a template deploy that rewrites a tag reaches you the same day rather than showing up as a traffic dip three weeks later.

Can I track a competitor's whole site instead of listing pages?

From Pro upwards. Point us at a domain, we read its sitemap, and you filter it with include and exclude rules, then monitor everything that matches up to your page limit. That suits watching a blog or a docs section where new URLs appear on their own.

Will it catch changes that JavaScript renders?

Yes. Pages are rendered the way a browser renders them, so copy that loads after the initial HTML is monitored too. If you can see it in a browser without logging in, it can be watched.

How often should SEO pages be checked?

Daily suits most of it. Competitor landing pages, titles, and content refreshes do not move hourly, and a daily check keeps the alerts worth reading. Reserve faster schedules for a launch window when you expect a page to move.
