FAQ
Common questions
What does keywordmonitor.app actually do?
It tracks where your keywords rank in Google search results, in whichever countries you choose, on a schedule you set — and emails you when something moves. That's the whole product. No site audits, no backlink analysis, no keyword research suite, no PPC tools.
How does slot-based pricing work?
1 slot = 1 keyword tracked in 1 country. A keyword tracked in one country is 1 slot; the same keyword tracked in 5 countries is 5 slots. You can spend your slot budget however you like — a handful of keywords across many countries, or hundreds of keywords in one.
What's the difference between weekly and daily checks?
Weekly is one check per slot per week and is the default for most users — most rankings don't move fast enough to need closer watching. Daily is one check per slot per day, priced as the premium cadence, for cases where you need to catch a movement within a day rather than a week (active campaigns, volatile SERPs, validating a fix).
Can I track the same keyword in multiple countries?
Yes — that's exactly what slots are for. Add the keyword once per country you want to track it in; each combination is its own slot.
If I deactivate a keyword, do I lose its history?
No. Deactivating a keyword stops new checks but keeps every past ranking on record. History is never deleted — only new tracking stops.
Where does the ranking data come from?
We query live Google search results directly for each keyword/country pair on your chosen schedule — not an estimate or a cached index.
Can I check a ranking on demand, outside its schedule?
Yes, a manual refresh is planned as an on-demand, out-of-cadence check. Because it's the one action that could be spammed, it draws from a metered monthly allowance rather than being unlimited — your regularly scheduled checks are unaffected either way.
Is billing live yet?
Not yet — join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment signups open. When it does launch, both monthly and annual billing will be available on every tier, including the smallest one; annual is a discount, never a requirement.
What if I need more than 500 slots?
Get in touch instead of hunting for a self-serve add-on — above Business-tier volume we'd rather talk through your setup (custom cadence mixes, invoicing, onboarding) than guess at a price in advance.
