Keyword rank tracking
Scheduled SERP pulls via DataForSEO, charted over time, per device and per locale. History is append-only — nothing is ever overwritten, so a bad week stays on the record.
SEO Track AI is an SEO intelligence app we host for you: keyword rank tracking with append-only history, competitor share-of-voice, Google Search Console ground truth — plus AI Visibility, which samples how often ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity mention your brand for the prompts that matter. Nothing to install. Your own API keys. $10/month flat.
Illustrative dashboard. AI-answer rates are aggregates over many samples — never a single-run “rank”, because AI answers are probabilistic and pretending otherwise would be a lie.
01 What it does
Rank tracking is table stakes. The part nobody else does properly yet is measuring whether the AI assistants — where a growing share of buying research now happens — know your brand exists. SEO Track AI does both, in one app, on our servers — you just log in.
Scheduled SERP pulls via DataForSEO, charted over time, per device and per locale. History is append-only — nothing is ever overwritten, so a bad week stays on the record.
Track competitor domains alongside your own and watch share-of-voice move on the keyword sets you actually care about — not a vanity “visibility index” nobody can audit.
Ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity the prompts your buyers ask, many times over, then score every answer with an LLM-as-judge into structured mention / citation / sentiment rows.
Optional read-only Search Console and GA4 integration, so estimated traffic gets calibrated against real impressions and clicks instead of drifting off into a CTR fantasy.
Generate SEO articles from your own keywords or from ideas you approved, with images, and optionally publish them to WordPress on a schedule. You keep the approval gate.
On-page SEO, passive security hygiene, performance, accessibility and content depth — each scored 0–100 with AI-written findings grounded in collected evidence. Your own domain only.
PDF and email reports, an annotated timeline of Google algorithm updates lined up against your own rank movement, and an SEO news feed — so “why did we drop” has a paper trail.
A monthly spend ceiling that skips runs instead of blowing past it, confirm-before-you-spend prompts, a live spend ledger per provider, and a dry-run mode that costs exactly zero.
Your provider keys sit in an encrypted vault, never in plaintext config. Multi-user accounts with per-project grants when you need to let a client look. Full export of your own history whenever you ask — it is your data, not a hostage.
02 On your phone
The web app is responsive and installable — open it in Safari or Chrome, add it to your home screen, and it behaves like an app: full-screen, its own icon, your session kept. No app store, no waiting. That is how it ships on day one.
Native iOS and Android builds are on the roadmap for push notifications when a keyword breaks into the top 3, a rank drops off page one, or a scheduled run trips your spend ceiling. Early-access users get first crack at the betas.
03 How it works
SEO Track AI is a thin, honest layer over the data providers you already pay — it never resells you their data at a markup, and it never hides what a run is about to cost.
You create it, you own it, you top it up. Paste the login and password into Settings once — they land in the encrypted vault, not a config file. Every SERP pull is billed to your DataForSEO balance at DataForSEO's own rate. It never runs through an account of ours, so there is nothing for us to mark up.
Type them, let the keyword suggester propose them from your own pages, or import an existing Wincher CSV in one command. Add competitor domains, set your locale and device, done.
Rank pass daily at 03:00, keyword intel and AI-visibility sampling weekly, Google ingest daily — all editable. Our servers do the work on your schedule, whether your laptop is open or not, and every scheduled run checks your monthly ceiling first and skips itself rather than overspending. Optional: connect Search Console and GA4, and your own LLM keys for the AI features.
This is not optional and we are not going to bury it in the FAQ. Rank tracking, SERP pulls and keyword metrics all come from DataForSEO, and the app talks to it with your credentials so the data and the bill are both yours.
DataForSEO is pay-as-you-go with no monthly commitment. New accounts get $1 of free credit — hundreds of real SERP requests, enough to run the whole app for a week before you decide. After that the minimum first deposit is $50, and that balance lasts most single-site users the better part of a year at the rates in the next section.
The AI features (AI Visibility, article generation, Site Intelligence) additionally use your own OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / Perplexity keys — whichever ones you choose to plug in. Leave them out and everything else still works. Search Console and GA4 are free.
04 Pricing
No seat maths, no keyword tiers, no “contact sales”. One price for the software, plus whatever your own API usage costs — passed straight through at zero markup, because it never touches our account in the first place.
Everything below, every feature, every project. Plus your API usage, billed directly to you by your providers.
Early-access pricing is locked for the people who get in first. Cancel whenever — your history exports out with you.
The $10 buys the software. The data underneath it — SERP pulls from DataForSEO, and LLM calls if you switch the AI features on — is billed by those vendors to your account, at their price. We add nothing on top, and there is nothing to add it to — those calls bill your provider accounts directly and never pass through ours.
That is why the number is honest and why it is a range: a hobby site tracking 50 keywords once a day runs about $1–3/month in API spend. A serious operator with AI visibility sampling and article generation lands around $25–45. An agency running hundreds of keywords across clients can push $100+ — and will know exactly why, line by line, in the spend ledger.
Real numbers, per feature, in the next section. No hand-waving.
We run the servers, the database, the scheduler and the backups. You get a login. Updates land for everyone at once — no version to chase, no Docker, no VPS bill.
DataForSEO and your LLM providers charge your accounts directly at their own rates. You see every cent in the spend ledger, and we never sit in the middle of it.
The hosted app is the product — but a self-hosted licence is available on enquiry. If your data cannot sit with a vendor, if you are an agency that keeps client data under your own roof, if procurement wants it inside your own network, or if it has to run air-gapped, say so and we will quote the deployment you actually need.
05 API cost estimates
Every figure below is computed from published provider rates at the app's default settings, and the app shows you the same estimate before a run spends anything. Your real numbers will move with your locale, your model choices and how deep you crawl — so the levers that matter are called out too.
| Keywords | Cadence | Depth | Per check | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | Weekly | Page 1 | $0.015 | $0.07 |
| 25 | Weekly | Top 100 | $0.116 | $0.50 |
| 50 | Daily | Page 1 | $0.030 | $0.90 |
| 50 | Daily | Top 100 | $0.233 | $6.98 |
| 100 | Daily | Page 1 | $0.060 | $1.80 |
| 100 | Daily | Top 100 | $0.465 | $13.95 |
| 250 | Daily | Top 100 | $1.163 | $34.88 |
| 500 | Daily | Page 1 | $0.300 | $9.00 |
Tracking desktop and mobile doubles these. Live (sub-2-second) SERPs cost 3.3× the Standard queue — the app defaults to Standard because a rank tracker does not need real time. AI Overview extraction adds about $0.002 per SERP and is off by default. Weekly keyword-intel refreshes bill at the same SERP rate and typically land under a dollar a month.
| Prompts | Assistants | Cadence | Per cycle | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 2 · budget | Weekly | $0.29 | $1.27 |
| 10 | 2 · default | Weekly | $0.68 | $2.95 |
| 25 | 4 · all | Weekly | $2.18 | $9.45 |
| 50 | 4 · all | Weekly | $4.37 | $18.90 |
| 25 | 4 · all | Daily | $2.18 | $65.40 |
The single biggest lever here is which model answers. Swapping Claude Sonnet for Claude Haiku cuts an AI-visibility run by roughly 55% on its own. Dropping from 6 samples to 3 halves it again, at the cost of a wider confidence band on the appearance rate — and the app says so on screen rather than quietly pretending 3 samples is a ranking.
| Feature | Unit | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| AI article — research, draft, SEO pass | per article | $0.05 – $0.30 |
| Article image | per image | ≈ $0.04 |
| Site Intelligence — single scan kind | per scan | ≈ $0.45 |
| Site Intelligence — full sweep, 5 kinds + summary | per sweep | ≈ $2.65 |
| Search Console + GA4 ingest | per pull | free |
| Algorithm timeline, news feed, reports, exports | — | free |
| Dry-run mode — full tour on sample data | — | $0.00 |

Crawl depth. Page 1 instead of top 100 is a ~7.75× saving per SERP. If you only care about
ranking, not deep-page archaeology, this is free money.
Cadence. Weekly instead of daily is a 4.3× saving. Most keywords do not move meaningfully overnight.
Model tier. Budget models for AI Visibility roughly halve it. The judge pass is cheap either way.
Sample count. Fewer samples per prompt, wider confidence band — your call, stated plainly on screen.
And the backstop: set max_monthly_spend_usd and every scheduled run checks month-to-date spend against it first. Over the line, the run is skipped and logged. You cannot wake up to a surprise invoice.
06 Let's move faster
The app works. What it needs now is reach and runway — native iOS and Android builds, more server capacity behind the hosted app, and more eyes on it than one developer can buy. If any of the three below is you, the form is right there and a human reads it.
Run it for your clients, white-label the reports, or plug it into a stack you already sell. We will build the hooks you actually need — bulk provisioning, per-client access, API access — with you, not in a vacuum. Revenue share on the table.
AI-answer visibility is the story of the next two years and almost nobody has a tool to show it on camera. Get in before launch, keep a free account for good, take an affiliate cut, and get features shipped because you asked for them on stream.
Working product, real cost structure, a flat $10 price that is defensible precisely because the expensive part is passed through at cost. Capital goes to native apps, infrastructure and distribution. Ask for the numbers and you will get the numbers.
