Rank Tracking Tools: Any Better Options Than Ahrefs?

Go to the Best Of the SEO Community.

TLDR:

  • Matthew Kay recommends looking into Nozzle
  • Stephanie Briggs  uses STAT and several others confirm 
  • Oscar from Wincher and Ray from DemandSphere chimed in directly
  • Read the Ahrefs vs Semrush guide  and see if you should switch (to one or the other)

I'm looking for a tool for rank tracking. I'm using Ahrefs to track my keywords, but I'd like to know if there's any better option for rank tracking and reporting. Do you have any good alternatives?

It’s the best and the Google Looker Data Studio integration they did is super slick too

STAT is our closest comparison, and we've increasingly had large customers migrating to us since their acquisition

@bill all the data in Nozzle is natively available in BigQuery, and we have some unique views beyond just rank in Looker Studio

Hey @erkutkosert, a little late to the party but I'm Ray, from DemandSphere. We work mostly on large-volume accounts that have a need to measure the impact of visual changes on the SERPs in addition to traditional rank tracking.
