Tier 9: Monitoring.
Rank tracking, competitive analysis, dashboards, uptime alerts, schema validation, broken link monitoring. The tier that catches issues before they cost you traffic.
What ships in this tier.
- Rank tracking for top 50 to 200 keywords
- Competitive analysis dashboard
- Uptime monitoring with multi region checks
- Schema validation alerts
- Broken link monitor with alerts
- Search Console error tracker with prioritized fix queue
Visibility decay is silent and expensive.
Most small businesses lose ranking slowly without noticing. A schema breaks. A redirect chain forms. A competitor publishes new content. Six months later traffic is down 30 percent and nobody knows why. Tier 9 catches these issues in the first week, not the sixth month.
Concrete deliverables.
- Rank dashboard live
- Uptime checks running
- Alert routes configured
Requires Tier 1 Foundation.
Tier 9 fits any client. Recommended early because catching regression early is much cheaper than catching it late.
Tier 9 FAQ.
How many keywords do you track?
Default 50, scaling to 200 plus for larger sites. Keyword count is scoped at intake.
What rank tracker do you use?
Mix of Ahrefs, Semrush, and Search Console performance data. Pure rank trackers do not capture AI engine citations; we add manual sampling for those.

Email plus optional SMS plus optional Slack. Configured at deploy.
