Typically, marketers only track rank fluctuations as a measure of SERP volatility. They believe SERP changes due to search algorithm updates and competition are reflected in rank fluctuations and help answer the reasons behind rising and declining clicks.
This limiting measure worked when the SERP landscape used to have few SERP features – mostly organic listings with a few paid ads. However, there are lot more SERP features available in the current SERP. Therefore, monitoring only traditional ranking fluctuations will not give you the complete picture of SERP volatilities impacting your search performances. You might find yourself in a situation where despite seeing consistent improvement in your rankings, the clicks and conversions are declining.
The tools currently available in the marketplace are insufficient in providing this complete visibility into SERP fluctuations. Our tool’s True Ad Rank capability gives you insights on your and your competitors’ exact position of the listing considering the entire SERP page as well as what SERP features that listing is getting visibility on.
The GrowByData Search Intelligence tool provides a granular and comprehensive measure of SERP volatilities impacting performance and helps marketers stay on top of SERP fluctuations.
