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.

AI Visibility
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.

SERP Historical Chart
Enhanced Control Over SERP History and Historical Charts
We’ve updated how data is displayed in SERP History and Historical Charts to give you` more control over maintaining a continuous rank history. Previously, data was automatically filled in, which did not always reflect when it was actually collected. This change ensures that users can choose whether or not to fill in missing data points.
What’s Changed?
There is a new setting called
Maintain Continuous Rank History
(previously 'Fill in rank drops in historical charts'). You can enable this to fill gaps in the historical line chart and SERP history when a keyword drops in rank or can’t be found during automatic updates. The latest available rank data will be used to maintain a continuous flow.This is what is look like with no filling:
