Build a SEO Rank Tracker

Track keyword positions daily with Google SERP API.

Architecture

Daily cron job → Google SERP API → SQLite/Postgres → simple Flask dashboard showing rank history per keyword.

Why build instead of buy

Commercial rank trackers cost $200+/mo. Using our SERP API at Pro tier ($9.99/mo) handles 10K queries — enough for 333 keywords daily.

Full source code

See our GitHub examples repo: github.com/helix-api/examples/tree/main/seo-tracker. Includes Docker setup, alerts via Slack, and a Streamlit dashboard.
