Track daily Google SERP rankings with Decodo and Google Sheets

Automate your SEO competitive analysis with this daily SERP tracker. This workflow uses Decodo to scrape Google Search results for specific keywords and logs rankings directly into Google Sheets, saving SEO teams hours of manual reporting.

Why Use This Workflow?

Time Savings: Reduces manual rank checking from 60 minutes daily to 0 minutes through full automation. Cost Reduction: Eliminates the need for expensive "per-keyword" SEO tracking software for basic monitoring needs. Error Prevention: Captures 100% of search data accurately, including meta descriptions and URLs, without human copy-paste errors. Scalability: Easily monitor dozens of keywords across different countries and devices by adjusting a single configuration node.

Ideal For

- SEO Specialists: Track keyword movements and SERP feature changes for clients or internal projects daily. - Content Marketers: Monitor how new content pieces are ranking against competitors for target high-intent keywords. - Digital Agencies: Provide automated, transparent ranking reports to clients without manual data entry.

How It Works

1. Trigger: The workflow starts every morning at 9:00 AM via the Schedule Trigger. 2. Data Collection: Parameters like keyword, country (e.g., "id"), language ("en"), and device type are defined. 3. Processing: The Decodo node executes a live Google search based on your specific localized parameters. 4. Intelligence Layer: The workflow filters the raw JSON response to extract organic results only and validates that each result has a valid URL. 5. Output & Delivery: Top-ranked results (e.g., Top 5) are appended to a "SERPResults" Google Sheet. 6. Storage & Logging: Any errors (API timeouts or empty results) are automatically logged to a separate "SERPErrors" sheet for troubleshooting.
