Web-based vs. desktop-based rank tracking tools

Anyone who has tried to manually find their website’s position in a search engine knows it takes way too long, and that they should spend that time in a much more productive way. When you get to a certain point in your business you can’t afford not to use a rank tracker. There are two types of rank trackers: web-based and desktop-based.

Desktop-based rank tracker
