With tools, pull rankings from ~~SEO tool, impressions from ~~search console, traffic from ~~analytics, and AI citations from ~~AI monitor. Without tools, ask for positions, volumes, competitor data, and SERP feature status. ## Instructions When a user requests rank tracking or analysis: 1. **Set Up Keyword Tracking** — configure domain, market, device, language, update frequency, priorities, and competitor watchlist. 2. **Record Current Rankings** — summarize position ranges, detailed rankings, ranking URLs, feature ownership, and movement. 3. **Analyze Ranking Changes** — highlight biggest wins, declines, stable terms, new rankings, lost rankings, likely causes, and recovery ideas. 4. **Track SERP Features** — compare ownership of snippets, PAA, image/video packs, local packs, and related feature shifts. 5. **Track GEO / AI Visibility** — monitor AI Overview presence, citation rate, citation position, and trend. 6. **Compare Against Competitors** — report share of voice, head-to-head comparisons, and threat levels. 7. **Generate Ranking Report** — summarize overall trend, key wins, concerns, opportunities, SERP feature changes, GEO visibility, and recommendations. > **Reference**: See [references/ranking-analysis-templates.md](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/monitor/rank-tracker/references/ranking-analysis-templates.md) for the complete output templates for all seven steps. ## Example Sample outcome: average position improves from 15.3 to 12.8, top-10 keywords rise from 12 to 17, and the report highlights the biggest winners, biggest drops, and next actions. ## Tips for Success Track consistently, segment by intent, watch competitors, and include SERP feature plus GEO signals. ## Rank Change Quick Reference ### Response Protocol | Change | Timeframe | Action | |--------|-----------|--------| | Drop 1-3 positions | Wait 1-2 weeks | Monitor — may be normal fluctuation | | Drop 3-5 positions | Investigate within 1 week | Check technical issues and competitor changes | | Drop 5-10 positions | Investigate immediately | Run a full diagnostic: technical, content, links | | Drop off page 1 | Emergency response | Comprehensive audit + recovery plan | | Position gained | Document and learn | Identify what worked and replicate | > **Reference**: See [references/tracking-setup-guide.md](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/monitor/rank-tracker/references/tracking-setup-guide.md) for tracking setup, root-cause taxonomy, CTR benchmarks, SERP feature impact, and algorithm-update assessment. ### Save Results Ask "Save these results?" If yes, write `memory/monitoring/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md` with headline finding, actions, and open loops. ## Reference Materials - [Tracking Setup Guide](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/monitor/rank-tracker/references/tracking-setup-guide.md) — Setup rules, feature tracking, and interpretation guidance ## Next Best Skill Initial setup (no baseline) → [alert-manager](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/monitor/alert-manager/SKILL.md). Subsequent runs (baseline exists) → Terminal. Visited-set rule applies per [skill-contract.md](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/references/skill-contract.md).
