Spyro’s Keyword Tracker keeps a live record of where your pages rank for every keyword you care about — and whether those pages are even indexed at all. With 450 index checks running every day and a direct integration with Google Search Console, you get accurate position data, instant alerts for indexing drops, and a semantic silo view that shows how your keyword coverage is building topical authority over time.

​
What the Keyword Tracker Monitors

The tracker combines three data streams into a single dashboard:
  • Keyword positions — daily rank tracking for every keyword you add, with position history charts and change indicators (up, down, or new entry)
  • Indexing status — a per-page index check that runs up to 450 times per day, catching deindexed pages within hours
  • Search Console data — impressions, clicks, and average position pulled directly from your connected Google Search Console property, enriching Spyro’s own ranking data

​
Why 450 Index Checks Per Day Matters

Most rank trackers check indexing once a day at best. If a page drops from Google’s index overnight, you might not find out until you notice your traffic falling — days or weeks later. Spyro runs up to 450 index checks per day across your tracked pages. That frequency means deindexed pages are flagged within hours of disappearing, giving you enough time to investigate and request reindexing before the ranking loss compounds. Each deindexed page triggers an alert in the dashboard and, if configured, an email notification.

​
Keyword Silos

Every keyword you track is automatically assigned to a semantic silo — a group of closely related terms that together signal topical authority to Google. The silo view in the tracker shows you:
  • Which silos have strong keyword coverage (several ranking pages) vs. thin coverage (few or no ranking pages)
  • Which silos are growing in authority over time based on average position trends
  • Where adding a new article would have the greatest impact on an entire silo’s rankings
Organizing your tracked keywords this way makes it easy to see whether your content strategy is building genuine topical depth or spreading effort across disconnected topics.

How to Set Up Keyword Tracking

1

Open the Keyword Tracker

From the Spyro dashboard, navigate to Keyword Tracker in the sidebar.
2

Add keywords manually

Click Add Keywords, type your target keywords (one per line), and assign each to an existing silo or create a new one. Click Save when done.
3

Import from Google Search Console

For faster setup, click Import from Search Console. Spyro pulls your top queries from the connected GSC property and pre-populates the keyword list. Review the imported terms, assign silos, and save.
4

Review your first rankings

Position data populates within 24 hours. Return to the Keyword Tracker to see current positions, position changes since the previous day, and indexing status for each tracked page.
5

Set up alerts

Go to Settings → Alerts and enable notifications for position drops above a threshold you choose (for example, drop of 5 or more positions) and for any page that becomes deindexed.

​
Reading the Tracker

The keyword table shows each term alongside its current position, the page ranking for it, the position change since yesterday, and the indexing status of that page. Use the column headers to sort by any of these fields. Clicking any keyword opens a detail panel with:
  • Position history chart — 30 or 90-day trend line
  • SERP snapshot — what the result looks like in Google at the time of the last check
  • Page indexing history — a log of every status change for the ranking page
  • Silo context — the other keywords in the same silo and how they are trending
After generating a new article with the Content Engine, add its target keyword to the tracker immediately. You’ll have a baseline position recorded from day one, making it easy to measure the ranking impact of the article over the following weeks.

​
Google Search Console Integration

Connecting Google Search Console unlocks richer data throughout the Keyword Tracker. Once connected, Spyro overlays GSC impression and click data on top of its own position checks, giving you a more complete picture of search performance than either source provides alone.
