Best regards,
We have added another new feature to the Ranking Monitor in SEOprofiler: the overview page now shows progression charts for all tracked parameters on Google, Google Mobile, Bing and Yahoo:
Everything at a glance
The new progression charts enable you to quickly see your SEO progress. How has the number of ranked pages changed over time? Are you ranked for more keywords than before? Is your average position better than it was three months ago?
The new overview page has the answers to these questions and more.
More prominent opportunities and alerts
You can find the opportunities and alerts more easily on the overview page now:
The opportunities in the Ranking Monitor tool help you to find the keywords for which you can get many more visitors through relatively little work. For example, this can be keywords that are listed just one result after result page one, keywords that could reach the top 3 results, etc.
The positive changes show remarkable ranking increases. The alerts show the keywords that need your attention. Click on one of these boxes to get the detailed opportunities and alerts.
Easily track your progress
The new charts enable you to track your search engine optimization progress more easily. For example, the Visibility Score charts shows how well your pages are ranked for the keywords that you monitor over time:
