What This Page Does
SEO Monitoring watches for external events that affect your rankings but aren't caused by your own changes. It detects Google algorithm updates, flags potential deindexation events, and monitors for staging environment pages that may have leaked into production.
Powered by: Cost of Retrieval
Getting Started
- View the algorithm update timeline — known and suspected Google updates
- Check indexing health — pages dropping from or entering the index
- Review staging leaks — non-production URLs appearing in search results
- Correlate events with your ranking changes to distinguish external from internal causes
Key Features
- Algorithm correlation — overlays known updates on your ranking charts
- Deindexation alerts — monitors GSC coverage for sudden drops
- Staging detection — flags URLs matching staging/dev patterns in GSC data
- Impact assessment — estimates how much traffic was affected by each event
Tips & Best Practices
- Don't panic-react to ranking drops during algorithm rollouts — wait 2 weeks for stabilisation
- Deindexation of 10+ pages warrants immediate investigation (check robots.txt, noindex tags)
- Add staging domains to your monitoring exclusion list to reduce noise
- Use the correlation timeline to prepare accurate client reports during volatile periods
