Rank tracking
See ranking movement beside the website changes that may explain it.
SEOForge tracks authorized keyword cohorts by engine, market, language, location and device, then attaches deployments, SERP features and investigations so a position change is never presented without context.

Detection
A rank is an observation, not a diagnosis.
- Exact engine, country, language, city and device
- Observed URL and competing site URLs
- SERP features, volatility and result composition
- Search Console clicks, impressions and CTR where authorized
- Deployments, experiments and indexing events on the timeline
Before → after example
Before: median cohort position 18.2; comparison result absent; 2.4% CTR.
Approved change: answer-first intro and decision table deployed June 18.
Observed after 28 days: median 9.4; comparison result present; 3.1% CTR.
Observation, not proof of sole causation; seasonality and SERP changes remain visible.

Device split
Desktop and mobile movements are not blended into a misleading average.
Annotations
Deployments, experiments and index events sit on the same timeline.
Cohort trend
Priority uses sustained group movement, not one volatile daily point.
Human review
A reviewer approves the proposed page change, not the tracking observation. Evidence, expected metric and rollback context stay attached.
Paid capacity
Tracked-query allowances count each market, engine, location and device combination. Plans define cadence and volume; rankings are never guaranteed.
Questions
Know the boundary before connecting production.
How often are rankings checked?+
Cadence depends on the paid plan, market priority and provider capacity shown in the workspace.
Why does SEOForge use cohorts?+
Groups reduce overreaction to one volatile query and connect work to a page or objective.
Do annotations prove causation?+
No. They establish temporal context; the report also exposes competing changes and uncertainty.
What can a reviewer approve?+
A resulting content, metadata, link or technical proposal with its baseline and observation plan.
Can SEOForge guarantee a position?+
No. Search engines control result ordering and can change it at any time.
