Top 100 results per keyword and their performance

Quickly analyze the top-ranking pages for a keyword

All SEOmonitor accounts use Dynamic Depth Crawling (DDC) on the primary device, alongside a weekly top 100 collection. On the secondary device, grandfathered accounts receive weekly top 20 collection and other accounts receive weekly top 100 collection.

Each tracked keyword has a competitive list of ranking pages, up to the primary device’s top 100 coverage. This list supports rank trends and discovery of other keywords ranking for those pages.

How does this work?

On the primary device, Dynamic Depth Crawling (DDC) provides daily tracking focused on your site’s position. It works page by page and can stop after finding your site, within the allowed depth. It does not collect a fresh full top 100 competitor list every day.

The primary device has a full top 100 collection weekly on Saturday. The secondary device is collected weekly: top 20 for grandfathered accounts and top 100 for other accounts.

You can find the amount of pages that were crawled today, latest week's crawl and the results it surfaced in SEOmonitor's SERP Viewer.

Additionally, on each keyword sidebar (no matter where you access it from), in the Competition tab, you can see the competing landing pages. Ranks below your site are coming from the latest week's crawl.

Clicking on the Ranking Keywords value in the table (in the above example, 334 for the first landing page) provides the other ranking keywords for these Landing Pages:

This help with your keyword discovery process and it acts as an authority metric on those pages, what we call Topical Authority and is included in our Keyword Difficulty metric.

This is also the data that enables you to have all competitors always tracked in SEOmonitor.

Use-case

Find the best-performing pages on a keyword, to investigate the ways in which they are better than yours: content, speed, backlinks, and so on. For example, seeing a domain jump 40+ ranks after posting an article.


View, download and recrawl the SERP

Go to Rank Tracker → All Keywords → open the keyword → Performance. In the Primary card, click the row showing how many pages were crawled to open the SERP Viewer.

The Today / Dynamic tab shows the pages collected for the current daily result. Use the numbered page buttons to move through them. You can save this collection with Download SERP, or select Recrawl to request a fresh check.

Recrawl is available only for today. The SERP Viewer shows today's collection and the last weekly crawl. If a recrawl returns different results, those results overwrite the current day's results. Download today's SERP before recrawling if you want to keep the earlier version for comparison.

To see the weekly collection, open the dated Weekly tab. It has its own Download SERP button, so you can save and compare the two observations using their collection dates.

Check the date, device and page count in the viewer. Weekly collection targets the full allowed depth, but Google may return fewer pages or end the results early. The date range on a trend chart is not a substitute for the collection date shown on the SERP.
