Track your keyword rankings in Google with SEOPress Insights

Add keywords to Insights

There are two ways you can add keywords to track:

  • the configuration wizard
  • the Settings page under the Insights menu

If you are new to Insights, we suggest using the setup wizard to properly configure the plugin. This is accessible from Insights, Settings, Launch the wizard.

The wizard starts, do Next step.

Activate your license key if you haven’t already and click on Continue.

Here you are at the add keywords screen.

Enter up to 50 expressions, one per line.

Duplicates will be automatically deleted.

Choose your search engine

Below the keywords text area, a drop-down list allows you to define the Google search engine on which we will track your positions.

49 different locations are available.

Choose the one corresponding to your main audience then click Continue.

In the last step, click on the Review Settings button to return to the Insights dashboard.

Wait 24 to 48 hours for your first position statement to appear directly on your WordPress site.

Analyse and monitor your rankings

To see your keyword positions, go to Insights, Rankings page.

The graph shows the evolution of your average site ranking based on the keywords you follow.
