Summary
1. How does the rankingCoach report tab work?
With our single platform, you can monitor all the data you need so you never lose sight of your SEO results and rankings. All of your reports are available in the “Reports” tab on the left menu of your rankingCoach account. Reports are split into categories:
SEO reports
Social media
Google My Business reports
Local marketing
Google Analytics
Web reputation
Views of your reports can be customized to show you results during a certain time period and search area, either local or nationwide.
2. SEO reports
The Search Engines reports tab provides you with reports about the most important part of your website, keyword rankings. A drop-down menu on the upper right side of each report gives you the possibility to choose if you want national or local statistics.
The first table of your SEO reports gives you an overview of your keywords rankings across the set time period; today, last week and a month ago. This allows you a quick overview of your progress, as well it gives you a view of search volume for the specific keyword and how it is changed over time.
By clicking on the keywords, you will get access to a screenshot with an overview of your website’s snippet in Google’s result pages, as well as to data related to the keyword’s potential such as search volume, and results on Google, and Google Ads cost per click.
The second table gives you an overview of your daily rankings over the last 30 days. You will notice that you can fluctuate in positions, but it is normal behaviour as rankings do go up and down. If you do drop a significant number of positions and stay there for a few weeks, check the keywords in your website and start working on the page and keyword content in order to improve the results.
The third chart enables you to compare your rankings with your competitor’s rankings.
Keep in mind to choose realistic competitors to have relevant data that you can actually use. If you’re the owner of a small neighbourhood coffee shop, there is no point in comparing your performance with worldwide known coffee chains such as Starbucks.
Focus on your local competitors. If you need to change your competitors' list you can do so on the “General” tab in the left menu and then on “Competitors”.
3. Social Media reports
By connecting your Facebook and Twitter profiles to your rankingCoach account your reports will present you with an overview of your social media activity including the number of posts and their reach.

4. Local marketing reports
The Local Marketing tab gives you an overview of all the major business directories in which your business is published. The colour of the tick helps you understand what is the current status of your business on the directory.
A green tick means that rankingCoach found your company’s profile in the directory. If you get an orange cross, it indicates that rankingCoach found a profile but that it is incomplete and, if you get a red cross, it indicates that we couldn’t find your business.
If adding your business to local directories one by one and manually is not something you have time for, then you might want to consider rankingCoach 360 subscription.
