Finding out about the drop the same day
It follows your queries at the frequency you choose, keeps a year of history and warns only when the movement crosses the threshold you set. The rest of the noise stays in the chart.
- Frequency to taste: monthly, fortnightly or weekly
- Configurable alert threshold, so you do not get an email for every single point
- Position bands at a glance: top three, first page, the rest
The problem
- You find out about the drop when somebody looks at the month's sales.
- Or the opposite: you get so many alerts that you no longer read them.
- When the question about March arrives, the history only goes back to June.
An alert that always fires warns of nothing.
How it works
The hard part of watching positions is not measuring: it is deciding when to keep quiet.
- 1
You choose the real frequency
Daily sounds better and is almost never necessary: most queries barely move day to day and checking more only multiplies cost. Weekly is where the data starts to mean something.
- 2
You set when you want to be bothered
A five-position threshold filters normal churn and lets through what matters. With a threshold of one, the alert arrives daily and stops being read within a week, which is worse than having none.
- 3
History does not get trimmed
A full year, because awkward questions always arrive late. When somebody wants to know what happened when you changed the template, the data has to still be there.
What you get
A dashboard that needs no explaining and an email that only arrives when it should.
- The band split, which says at a glance whether the month was good.
- The queries that moved beyond the threshold, with the exact date.
- The full year per query, exportable, for the difficult conversations.
Measure before you pay anything
The scanner runs 10 real responses in about 60 seconds. No signup, no card. If the number it returns tells you nothing, do not buy.
Measure my brandWho it is for
- Anyone whose traffic depends on a handful of specific queries.
- Seasonal shops, where losing two positions in November costs the year.
- Agencies reporting monthly who need history intact.
It is not for you if...
It is not for you if you want a one-off snapshot of where you stand today. There is a direct lookup for that, cheaper and with no tracking commitment.
An honest comparison
| By hand | With Citenza | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs you | Searching by hand every Monday, or not searching at all. | It checks itself, at the frequency you decided. |
| The method | With your session on top, so the number is not what the rest of the world sees. | With no session and from the country matching your market. |
| Repeating it next month | No history: the comparison depends on what somebody remembers. | A year of history waiting for the question that will come. |
Availability by plan
Available on every paid plan, with the number of tracked queries and the maximum frequency growing by plan. Cost depends on queries per check, so watching a hundred queries weekly costs four times less than doing it daily.
Honest questions
- Why does your position not match the one I see?
- Because what you see is personalised by your history, your location and your session. The check runs with none of that, from the country you set. Neither is wrong: yours describes your screen and ours describes the market.
- What threshold should I set?
- Five positions works well for most. If you watch queries where you sit between first and third, drop to three: each place is worth a lot there. If you watch second-page queries, raise it to ten: that ground moves on its own.
- Is it worth tracking queries where I sit at fortieth?
- Almost never. Each tracked query costs on every check, and from position twenty onwards traffic is practically zero, so you are paying to watch noise. Track what you already have close and what already makes you money.
- Can I also track whether AI cites me?
- Yes, but with another tool and another logic. A position is an ordinal number and a citation is a yes or a no. Putting them in the same chart produces an average that means nothing, and that is why they are measured separately.
Do not let the invoice tell you about the drop
And watch the other front: disappearing from AI answers shows up in no rankings report.
