Keyword Position Dynamics by URL

Keyword Position Dynamics by URL

Every two weeks, checks where each tracked URL ranks for its keyword and appends a dated row carrying the new position, the delta and a status - up, down, same, new or lost.

How it works

1. Every Two Weeks — an Inject trigger repeating every 1,209,600 seconds.
2. Get Keywords And URLs / Collect Active Rows — only rows whose Active column is truthy are checked.
3. For Each Keyword → Sheet Name For URL → Add Tab For URL (continue on error, so an existing tab is reused).
4. Read Position History → Find Last Position — the most recent row for that keyword in that tab is the baseline.
5. Get SERP → Calculate Delta And Status → Append Position Row.

Because every run appends rather than overwrites, the sheet becomes a position history you can chart. The delta column is what makes it readable at a glance: you are looking for runs of negative numbers, not absolute values. Lower positions are better, so a positive delta means the page moved up.
