SERP Rank Table
More accurate performance metrics when keywords drop out of range (OTR)
We’ve fixed a long-standing blind spot in how performance metrics handle keywords that fall out of the tracked range (OTR).
Previously, if a keyword dropped from a high position (e.g. Top 3) to OTR, it could be ignored in calculations. This sometimes resulted in misleading metrics, like showing positive movement when rankings had actually declined.
Now, you can control how OTR keywords are treated across all performance metrics:
New setting: “
Out of range behaviour”
- Exclude (default): keeps current behaviour, ignores OTR keywords in comparisons
- Count as dropped: treats OTR as “not ranked”, reflecting real declines in metrics
Why this matters
:- Fixes trust issues in key metrics like Movement since start and Top N changes
- Ensures drops out of ranking are properly reflected
- Removes the need for manual cross-checking between keyword table and dashboard
- Gives you control depending on your workflow (clean reporting vs strict accuracy)
This applies everywhere: dashboard, project overview, reports, emails, and exports.

SERP Alerts
SERP Alerts just got faster, cleaner, and more controllable
We’ve upgraded Alerts to make them more actionable and less noisy, so you can focus on what actually matters.
Smarter alert visibility
- The counter now shows unread alerts only, so you instantly see what needs attention.
- Opening the Alerts page marks alerts as read, keeping your workflow clean and reducing clutter. You no longer need to scan through old alerts or guess what’s new
Less noise, more signal (new thresholds)
- You can now define how much a keyword needs to move before triggering an alert: Options: ≥1, ≥3, ≥5, ≥10, ≥20, ≥50 positions
- This lets you track every movement for critical keywords or only get notified for meaningful shifts across large keyword sets

More context to prioritize alerts
- Monthly Search Volume is back and sortable. Quickly identify which alerts actually matter based on traffic potential, not just movement
Better reliability & usability fixes
- “Show Latest Records” now works correctly, so you can easily focus on the most recent ranking changes without manual filtering
Longer history for better analysis
- Alerts retention increased from 7 → 30 days

Reports
Share of Voice just got a major accuracy upgrade
We’ve improved how Share of Voice is calculated to give you a more precise, time-aware view of competitive visibility for your keywords. As a result, your charts may look different, reflecting a more precise view of search visibility over time.
Share of Voice is now powered by live data
Instead of updating on a fixed daily schedule, Share of Voice now refreshes continuously as keywords are scraped. That means fresher data and more responsive insights.
Historical views now reflect the actual competitive landscape of the time
Previously, the top 10 competitors on your SOV chart were based on the most recent rankings, even when viewing a historical date range. Now the chart shows who the top competitors actually were during the period you’re viewing. If a competitor dominated your space 6 months ago but has since dropped off, you’ll see them where they belonged, giving you a much more accurate picture of how your competitive landscape evolved over time.
What this means for your charts
You may notice shifts in historical trends. Those changes reflect a more precise calculation designed to better capture movements in search visibility.

SERP Rank Table
Location is now shown explicitly for all keywords
We’ve made the search location used for each keyword visible and explicit in the product.
Previously, if no location was selected, Keyword.com would automatically apply a country-level location in the background based on the Google domain being tracked (for example, google.com → United States, google.co.uk → United Kingdom). This was done to keep rankings consistent and avoid fluctuations caused by changing proxy locations.
The underlying tracking logic has not changed. The only difference is that:
The applied location is now shown in the keywords table
A location is required during keyword creation instead of being silently applied
This change improves transparency and aligns with how Google serves results today, where country TLDs are increasingly deprecated and location is the primary way to ensure stable, accurate rankings.
You can change the location at any time to track a different country. Locations are country-level and not city-specific.

New in AI Visibility: Tag your search terms
You can now add tags to your AI Visibility search terms, making it easy to group, organize, and report on prompts by brand, product lines, use-cases, campaigns, or topics.
Why this matters
Tags give you more structure and control, especially as your list of prompts grows. You can quickly filter by theme, run cleaner audits, segment performance, and keep your setup aligned with how your teams actually think about visibility.
What you can do now:
• Tag prompts by brand, product, campaign, audience, or anything custom
• Filter metrics and reports by tag
• Keep your workspace organized as you scale tracking
• Build clearer insights for different internal teams or clients
This is a small addition that unlocks a lot more clarity as AI tracking becomes more strategic and complex.

New OTR (Out of Tracked Range) Movement Logic
We’ve updated how movement is displayed when a keyword is Out of Tracked Range (OTR) according to our Hybrid Tracking Model.
Previously, movement could look inconsistent when a keyword moved in or out of the tracked positions. With the new logic, movement indicators now behave predictably and match how Hybrid tracking works:
- If a keyword is OTR today or OTR on the comparison date, movement will show “N/A” when the data can’t be compared.
- When we fill gaps using Maintain Continuous Rank (MCR), and the value is the same, movement now shows “–” to indicate no change.
This improves clarity and avoids misleading movement values when keywords fall outside the Top positions collected under the Hybrid model.
