JaySearch is a rank tracker for SEOs, built by SEOs. We changed a classical rank tracking pricing model, you’re not charged for each position check — you pay only for Google Search Console data processing. For just $19, you can now track daily rankings for up to 100 search results across 10,000 keywords. Take a look!
Hey there 🖐 I’m Roman, one of the co-founders of JaySearch. Let me walk you through how we created a rank tracker based on Google Search Console data — and why this tool will be a lifesaver for you too.
How we turned Google Search Console into a handy rank tracking tool that SEOs love
As you know, keyword positions in most popular SEO tools don’t match real positions in Google's SERP. SEO tools often display high rankings for keywords that don’t actually exist and get no clicks. As a result, the rankings are high, but the traffic isn’t coming.
Here’s an illustration of how Ahrefs sees jaysearch.com compared to Google Search Console:
What’s behind this mismatch?
It’s because third-party tools consider no-click keywords that generate no real traffic. This has happened to us many times on client projects. We saw high keyword positions but got little traffic and leads. So we thought, why not evaluate keyword positions using Google Search Console? This tool is provided by Google and its data aligns accurately with Google Analytics, so it reflects the true state of things. That’s just what we need!
Google Search Console is ideal for rank tracking, but…
Daily rank tracking with Google Search Console is such a hassle! You choose a page, go to Queries, choose the keyword, check positions, reset the keyword, choose another one, check positions, reset, and so on — keyword by keyword, page by page. Donkey work!
As you probably know, Google Search Console doesn’t allow you to save filters, so you have to set them up from scratch every time. As a result, every session takes quite a bit of time, and there’s no way to make it quicker.
We wondered, does everyone else in the industry face the same challenges? As it turns out, the SEO community has made several attempts to build a rank tracker based on Google Search Console. Integration with Looker Studio was one of the most popular solutions, but it had one drawback: you still had to do too much manual work to prepare the required data for analysis. This integration felt more like a workaround than a robust SEO tool.
The solution seemed almost obvious. We needed a version of Google Search Console customized for SEO. We imagined a tool where you could group and save keywords by pages, get daily position updates, and apply SEO filters for more effective data analysis.
This would make SEO so much easier! This would really simplify SEOs' daily tasks and boost productivity.
What does the perfect rank tracker look like? The story behind JaySearch
The tool began as an internal solution. Working with our colleagues from the JetDevTeam, we developed a solution to get keyword ranking data from Google Search Console. Then we tested the system on real data for one of our clients’ projects. It worked perfectly, and that’s how JaySearch was born.
Here are several things we carefully considered when building our rank tracker:
Accurate data directly from Google Search Console
Daily position updates
Access to 480 days of historical data upon new project setup
Fast as GSC
Tracking multiple countries
Showing how many times each keyword is mentioned on your page
Filters to spot changes in keyword positions and organic traffic on your website pages
Setting up a project in 3 clicks and sharing reports with your team or clients
