What it is

Decodo Rank Tracker is a free, MIT-licensed, self-hosted SEO tool built on Decodo’s SERP Scraping API. It tracks organic rankings, AI Overview citations, featured snippets and People Also Ask presence by keyword, location and device. Results are stored in SQLite, with terminal trend reports, competitor comparisons and shareable HTML reports. Checks can run on schedules through the command line, cron, launchd or systemd. Alerts can go to Slack, Discord or SMTP email for new rankings, improvements, drops and lost rankings. Keywords are configured in CSV files with required keyword and target-domain columns, plus optional location, locale, device, activity and frequency settings. Each keyword, location, device and locale combination consumes an API call; frequency settings can reduce usage. The tracker runs on Linux, macOS and Windows and supports Google, country-level location tracking, mobile rankings, daily updates, competitor tracking and historical data. Decodo’s API lists a free plan for up to 5K crawls or 10K pages scraped monthly.
