"I have been working in this website since I added those keywords for a while now, and the positions are way higher than we started, but I don't remember, has it been a big change?" - Have you ever thought that? or have a client asked you what is the change since you started working in the project?
Now in the column "Starting" you can see both the initial position when you added the keywords and the positive or negative change with an indicative arrow.

We have optimized the data loading in the project dashboard.

Now the data will load a bit faster, especially in projects with many keywords.

We've just rolled out the ability to add emojis to your saved views and project name. 

 

An image is worth thousand words and we know that views can be easily recognizable with just an emoji. 

 

With the addition of the TargetURL feature, now there are 4 possible states that cannibalization may display on each of your keyword. 

Have you ever wished that you didn't have to set the location every time you add new keywords? We heard you! With our latest update, we are have set the project country as the Default location when adding keywords. Now, you can save time and focus on what matters most – optimizing your website's search rankings.

 

Moreover, when you are using the filters and find out these keywords that you are missing in your project,  TrueRanker helps you selecting the filtered location as the default location when adding keywords. Others filter like tags, device, etc. apply as well. Simplicity and efficiency.

Now when adding a note in the project dashboard, it is automatically displayed in charts without reloading the page.

Until now a keyword was considered cannibalized if it ranked for more than one URL in the last SERP of the selected period.

Now, in addition to that, it is also taken into account if in the last 30 days of the period it has ranked for different URLs on different days.

In addition, the chart with the keyword history will show a bug icon on the last URL change.

On the project page, we have optimized the fetching of all keyword data, reducing the download size by a lot.

This improvement will be especially noticeable in projects with thousands of keywords.

You can now save a default time period in the date picker of the project.

You must first check the corresponding checkbox (bottom left) and then select the period, either one of the predefined or customized ones.

From then on all projects in your account will use that range when loading.

On the other hand, it will no longer be saved in the browser session as it was before.

The Sistrix visibility index graphs on mobile and desktop have now been merged into a single graph for easy comparison of both devices.

In addition, up to 1 year of data is now displayed in case your project has already been on TrueRanker for that long.

When a date previous to today was selected in a project, the local pack and snippets columns were shown empty, as this data is only stored for the most recent crawl.

Now, in this case, the data is still displayed, but a warning appears next to it to notify you of this fact.

The column with location in the keywords table was shown with the complete address, showing city, region and country when applicable.

This could be misleading and lead to think that the search was performed in 3 different locations.

Now only the more specific name is displayed, and placing the mouse cursor over it shows the full address in case there could be ambiguity.

This also allows us to gain space on the table.

There is a very small percentage of mobile searches where Google only returns the first page of results.

We already faced this problem about a year ago:
https://feedback.trueranker.com/updates/mobile-searches-with-few-results

Now the percentage of searches affected by this has gone up (0.12%), so we have taken a decision about it.

If all our attempts to perform the search correctly on mobile fail, we will perform the same search on desktop.

Keeping in mind that mostly desktop and mobile positions are similar, this way we avoid losing that day's data if you are not on the first page.

The next day we will retry the mobile search normally.

This whole process is transparent to the user.

Now when you change the date range in the date picker, the dates will be saved in your browser session.

This means that when you change to another project in the same work session the dates will be kept, avoiding having to change to the desired period each time you view one (especially tedious if you have many projects).

However, if, for example, you come back the next day, the system will revert to showing 1 month by default.

Any feedback you may have is appreciated:

When you log in, if there are keywords that have not yet been updated today, they are prioritized so that they can be calculated as soon as possible.

The loading time for the keywords table of a project has been improved.

It especially affects projects showing a large number of keywords.

You can now filter your project keywords by more than one tag 👾

You can choose whether you want the keywords to include at least one tag or all of them.

This enhancement also affects your competitors' keyword filters and CSV keyword exports.

We have added in the filters of the monitored keywords the option to filter keywords by "exact URL" or by "URL contains".

We hope this improvement will help you to better filter your keywords by URL 😄.

We have added a column with the volume of each keyword in the reports 📊.

This data appears both in the keyword position table and in your competitors' rankings.

You can see an example of a report here 👇👇

https://app.trueranker.com/report/3638ebf4778eb9518e382f1665ab7bdf

We have added the search volume in the email that is automatically sent with the summary of the rise and fall in the rankings of your project's keywords.

We have added the column with the initial position of each keyword (the position in Google on the day the system starts monitoring the positions of that keyword).

We have added a new filter for the keyword list in order to get all the keywords that have cannibalizations 🐞.

In addition to this, if you export the keyword history of the table in CSV, you will also get the history of the cannibalizations.

In the tag filter it is now possible to select when keywords have no tags ("no tag") and when they have at least one tag ("with tag").

From now on, the URL that is positioning your project will also be shown in the extra information that appears when you place the mouse cursor over each point of the keyword evolution chart.

This way, you will be able to check that Google is always giving priority to the right page and that there are no problems.

In our system the keywords were case insensitive, so there could not be two keywords that differed by an accent, for example.

Now it is sensitive case.

However, when you filter keywords by their description, the search will still be case insensitive for better usability.

In the keywords table, now the column with the keyword will be fixed when scrolling horizontally, being always visible.

This way, if many columns are being displayed, it will be much easier to know to which keyword the data in each row belongs.

Previously the keyword table settings (position, order and visibility of the columns) were saved in the client's own browser and it was necessary to configure each project separately.

Now these settings are stored in the database and are the same for all projects.

This way you gain a lot of usability when you have many projects. In addition these settings are independent of the device where TrueRanker is used.

We have received a lot of feedback from users and have continued to make changes to the style of the web interface.

Thank you very much for all your help!

The checkboxes for selecting rows in the keywords table are now larger.

This makes it easier to click and not open the popup with the keyword detail, which was time consuming.

You can now create reports containing only the keywords that have improved, worsened or maintained their position 🔝

This report is ideal to know which keywords have changed in a certain date range.

We hope it will help you in the analysis of your SEO strategy 💪

Here is a link to a sample report:

- domain: trueranker.com
- Keywords that have risen
- dates: from May 23rd to May 30th

https://app.trueranker.com/report/df0efc3da27846247c58181e585f836b

From now on, you will be able to export in a CSV file the keywords of your project by applying the filters displayed on the screen.

We have added a new filter in the dashboard of each project so you can see the evolution and the list of keywords that have changed in the last 24 hours.

- Keywords that have improved.
- Keywords that have worsened.
- Keywords that have maintained their position.

In the next days,  we will add this filter to the competitors view and to the filters to generate reports.

It is now possible to create a new note from an existing one.

To do so, just use the duplicate button in the actions column of the notes table.

Now when we connect our Google Search Console account, we have the ability to choose the right property related to our project in that account.

It will no longer be a problem if you have several properties in GSC for the same project, for example, with and without www, http, https...

In addition, we can also disconnect the account if we don't need to use it anymore or we want to connect a new account.

These features are available in the project settings page.

We have added a new field in the table with the date when the keyword was added to the project.

We have also changed the format in which the last position update of the keyword is displayed to show the number of hours that have passed since the update.

We have increased the number of competitors per project for each user plan:

Advanced Plan: 0 👉 2
Business Plan: 3 👉 5
Agency Plan: 5 👉 10

We hope to improve our users' experience with this change.

🚨 We have changed the period in which the keywords of users who are using the FREE plan are monitored 🚨

Previously, the words were monitored every 7 days. From now on all keywords will be tracked every day 

We have released a new version of the Wordpress plugin fixing bugs reported by some users 👏

You can download the plugin from the Wordpress directory:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-local-rank/

Now when exporting keywords to a CSV file, tags for each one are also included.

We have released a new version of the Wordpress plugin fixing bugs reported by some users 👏

Google Search Console keyword suggestions were only retrieved the first time this feature was used.

Now, if more than 14 days have passed since the last update, the system will automatically refresh these GSC suggestions with a new request to your account.

We have added the option for the user to choose not to send the report to the TrueRanker account email.

Previously the email was always sent to your account email and you could add other emails to send the report as well.

Now you can choose whether you want to receive that email or not.

From now on the keywords of users who are more than 7 days without logging in will have less priority in the tracking queue.

If these users log in again, their keywords will recover their normal priority.

In this way, users who log in and check the tool often will have to wait less to have the current day's rankings available.

We continue to improve the keyword tracking system.

We have modified the order of tracking queue to prioritize it according to the country.

Countries where the day starts earlier will have priority, so all users will have a better user experience by waiting less time for their keywords to be tracked from the start of the day.

Still, you can always prioritize your keywords by updating in batch if they are still pending to be searched today. Just use the button for this in the keywords table.

When a project had enough keywords, it was necessary to go to the bottom of the page (by vertically scrolling all the rows) in order to see the horizontal scroll bar and use it to see the columns that were left off the screen.

This made it a very tedious process.

Now this table has a maximum height and quickly displays the horizontal scroll bar.

If the keyword table did not occupy the whole screen, it did not fit. We have made it so that if the table is smaller than the screen it fits the full width of the container ✌️

We have added more options so that you can choose device type when monitoring keywords related to the ones you are already monitoring.

We have also added buttons so you can add these keywords in bulk.

We have implemented an improvement so that the user can choose on which device he/she wants to add the GSC suggestions when clicking on them.

We have implemented an improvement so that the user can choose on which device he/she wants to add the suggestions when clicking on them.

We have made this improvement due to the confusion generated among many of our users when adding these keyword suggestions.

In the next days we will implement it also in the GSC suggestions and related keywords.

We have optimized the processing speed for adding keywords from a file.

Before for files with hundreds or thousands of keywords it could take quite a long time.

Now the time has been hugely reduced.

In addition, the file size has been limited to 100 KB.

We have fixed some small bugs and improved the view of this table to improve usability and UX.

We have added the keyword distribution data to the project table. We have also made it possible for you to configure this table by choosing the columns you want to see or hide.

Hemos añadido una tabla con el listado de competidores por proyecto con la posición media y la distribución de posiciones de keywords para tener una mejor visión de la competencia.

Seguiremos mejorando esta vista.

We have made it so that when you sort the keywords by the ones with local pack, the keywords with which your business appears appear first.

Remember that you can put the name of your local business in the configuration of each project.

We have increased and optimized the resources of the keyword tracking system to improve the speed of processing the total number of keywords from all users.

This is an ongoing effort and we will continue to work on it.

Improvements in the project view

We have implemented the following improvements:

Numbers are now formatted according to the user's country and language.

We have increased the limit of competitors for each project on regular plans.

We have added options to see a greater number of keywords in the rankings table. The options are now:

We have fixed the keyword suggestion to show them in a pop-up on the same screen as the monitored words. From that pop-up you can add the words one by one or all in bulk.

We have implemented internal improvements to improve project loading time. This improvement will be noticed especially by users who have projects with more than 100 monitored keywords.

The project sharing link is now much shorter and more user-friendly.

In addition, it is now also possible to force a new URL, which will cause the previous link to stop working. Ideal if you have already shared a project and want to stop sharing it.

The competitors page was taking a long time to load the results.

It has been optimized and now loads much faster.

Now you can analyze data in the distribution chart up to 3 and 6 months.
