How does the Keyword Rank Tracker add-on work in Google Sheets?

The Keyword Rank Tracker is a Google Sheets add-on powered by the SERPHouse API. After installing it from the Google Workspace Marketplace and connecting your SERPHouse API key, you enter keywords and target domains directly in your spreadsheet. The add-on queries live Google search results for each keyword and writes the position, ranked URL, and check date back into your sheet, automatically on a schedule or on demand.

Do I need a SERPHouse account to use the Google Sheets rank tracker?

Yes. The add-on uses the SERPHouse API to fetch live Google rankings, so a SERPHouse account and API key are required. You can sign up for free at serphouse.com with no credit card required. A free trial plan is available to get started immediately.

How do I set up automated keyword rank tracking in Google Sheets?

Once the add-on is installed and your API key is connected, open the add-on sidebar and navigate to the scheduling section. You can set daily, weekly, or custom intervals. The add-on uses Google Apps Script triggers to run rank checks automatically at your chosen frequency and update your sheet without any manual interaction.

Can I track keyword rankings in different locations and countries?

Yes. The add-on supports tracking across 100+ countries and specific city or region targets. You configure the location, language, and device (desktop or mobile) per keyword directly in your sheet. This allows you to track the same keyword in multiple markets simultaneously by adding location columns to your spreadsheet.

What data does the add-on store for each keyword check?

For each keyword check, the add-on records the keyword itself, the Google ranking position, the exact URL that ranked for that keyword, the check date and time, and the location and device configuration used. All data is stored directly in your Google Sheet, giving you a permanent, auditable ranking history.

Does the Keyword Rank Tracker track mobile and desktop rankings separately?

Yes. You can configure each keyword to track on desktop, mobile, or both. Because Google often returns different rankings for mobile and desktop searches, tracking both separately gives you a more accurate picture of your actual visibility across all user segments.

Is the Keyword Rank Tracker add-on free to use?

The add-on itself is free to install from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Rank checks consume SERPHouse API credits; each keyword check uses one credit. SERPHouse offers a free trial plan so you can test the add-on without a paid subscription. Paid plans are available starting from a few dollars per month depending on your tracking volume.

How accurate are the keyword rankings provided by the add-on?

Rankings are fetched in real time from live Google search results via the SERPHouse API, which delivers 100% accurate, unfiltered SERP data. Results reflect what an actual user in the specified location and device would see at the time of the check. SERPHouse maintains a 99.9% uptime SLA and sub-second median response times.
