Okay, I’ll go for a rank checker. What’s next though?
The big question, or better to say, it looks big of an issue when you start out is what piece of software will do the best job of a rank checker and how to pick it right.
Yep, there are some certain criteria. To boil it down to a dozen major requirements a great rank checker should meet those:
1. Rank checker must be easy to use
A good Rank Checker keeps things simple. If you can’t crack two plus two about how to use it at the first glance, that might be not it. In a word, a perfect rank checker doesn’t require you to be a pro to use it. At the same time it keeps all those powerful features professional rank checkers brag about. Give it a test – if your mom won’t understand how to use it, keep looking for something else.
2. Rank Checker must choose keywords that bring you clients
Keywords determine the amount of traffic you get, right. However not only should Rank Checker bring you hundreds of keywords but also pick quality traffic-productive keywords.
3. Rank Checker must check rankings of your website for many keywords
Here it is crucial that it does this fast and precisely.
4. Rank Checker must show you a clear picture of your competitors’ rankings for the keywords you target.
It should also keep a good track on your competitor’s rankings rising, so that you can act accordingly and immediately.
5. Rank Checker must show you how many visitors your website gets due to every particular keyword.
This is the sure way to sort out inefficient keywords and only go with those that are most effective.
6. Rank Checker must be hands free
If a rank checker asks for tons of work from your side, chances are you’ve made not the best choice. Make sure it takes the work off your hands completely with a Task Scheduler.
7. Rank Checker must be proper multitask
A good Rank Checker won’t put you on a limit with how many keyword options you want to check or how many websites you want to work on simultaneously.
8. Rank Checker must always be there for you
Yeah, we talked about it above, but more of it – not only a rank checker should be simple but you should also be getting quick, efficient and free tech-support from the software provider at any time you might need it.
9. Rank Checker must frequently update itself
What’s really crucial about a rank checker is that it should be updating itself frequently enough. Search engines introduce changes into their algorithms way too often. Make sure your piece of software is able to track the changes and react quickly, so that you always have a relevant picture of where you stand with your rankings.
10. Rank Checker must be compatible with Windows, PC and Mac equally well
Needn’t to say but if your desk computer is a PC but you also own a Mac laptop, you better chose a rank checker that is Windows, PC and Linux friendly.
11. Rank Checker must be search engine friendly
Rank Checker should also be 100% search engine friendly, because you don’t want your ability to search from your computer be ever interrupted. Your rank checker must include options for you to stay within search engines’ policies and work smoothly with any of them. Best if it’s equipped with at least 3-5 safety features.
12. Rank Checker must cover various search engines
Rank tracker should be able to check your website’s rankings in a huge variety of search engines and if it doesn’t have the needed search engine on its list it has to allow you to add one.
13. Rank Checker must be cosmopolitan
If your online business is internationally oriented, you better make sure that your rank checker is too. It should come out in all the languages that you need it and the switch should never be drag.
