# SERP Tracking

## Overview

The SERP Tracking page monitors where Reddit posts rank in Google search results for terms you care about. It records position history over time so you can see whether a Reddit thread is climbing or falling in search rankings.

## Tracked Posts Table

A list of every Reddit post you are currently monitoring in Google search results.

### Table Columns

| Column          | Description                                                                  |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Keyword**     | The Google search query being tracked (e.g., "best project management tool") |
| **Position**    | Current rank in search results (e.g., #3)                                    |
| **Result Type** | How the result appears (e.g., organic, sitelink)                             |
| **Change**      | Trend since the last check — improved (↑), declined (↓), or stable (→)       |
| **Device**      | Whether the ranking is tracked for Desktop or Mobile search                  |
| **Location**    | Target country for the search (e.g., United States)                          |
| **URL**         | Link to the Reddit post being tracked                                        |
| **Actions**     | View ranking history or Delete the tracked post                              |

## Tracking a New Post

Click **Track New Post** to open the form. Fill in:

| Field                  | Description                                             |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Reddit Post URL**    | The full URL of the Reddit thread to monitor            |
| **Google Search Term** | The keyword or phrase to search for in Google           |
| **Country**            | Target country for search results (searchable dropdown) |
| **Device**             | Desktop or Mobile                                       |

Once saved, Threadlytics checks the post's ranking on a scheduled basis (every 7 days) and logs each result.

## Ranking History

Click the history icon on any tracked post to open a detailed timeline of that post's Google rankings.

### History Table Columns

| Column       | Description                                       |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Date**     | When the ranking snapshot was taken               |
| **Position** | Rank at that point in time                        |
| **Page**     | Which page of Google results the post appeared on |
| **Change**   | Movement compared to the previous snapshot        |

Use this view to spot trends. For example, a Reddit thread that was ranking #5 last month and is now at #2 represents growing organic visibility.

## Bulk Actions

Select multiple tracked posts using the checkboxes and use the **Bulk Delete** option to remove several entries at once.

## How It Works

1. You submit a Reddit URL and a search keyword
2. Threadlytics searches Google for that keyword
3. The response is scanned for the Reddit URL in the results
4. The position is recorded as a snapshot with a timestamp
5. This process repeats every 7 days, building a historical record
6. The Change indicator on the main table reflects movement since the most recent snapshot
