What it does
Monitoring tracks how your pages perform in search over time, detects the patterns that matter — a cluster gaining, a page decaying, a new query appearing — and turns each pattern into an action the agent can take in the next cycle.
A dashboard nobody reads is not monitoring
Most SEO reporting stops at description: here is what happened. The gap between that and a decision is where programmes stall. Monitoring here is built to close that gap — every trend it detects maps to something specific: refresh this page, extend this cluster, investigate this drop.
What it watches
- 01Keyword movementPosition changes per query, grouped by cluster so a topic gaining ground is visible as a topic rather than as forty separate rows.
- 02Page performanceImpressions, clicks and click-through rate per URL, from your Search Console connection.
- 03Content decayPages sliding gradually over weeks — the pattern that never triggers an alert but accounts for most lost traffic.
- 04New queriesQuestions your market started asking that no page of yours currently answers.
- 05Cluster healthWhether a topic is gaining as a whole, which is a better signal than any single keyword.
- 06Technical regressionsIndexability and structure issues introduced by a release, from the continuous crawl.
Content decay is the quiet one
A page rarely collapses. It slips one position, then another, and six months later a quarter of your library is quietly underperforming with no single event to point at. Detecting the slope rather than the cliff is the whole job, and it is why decay detection runs against a trend rather than a threshold.
Reporting that survives a meeting
- Trends over time rather than single-day snapshots, which are mostly noise.
- Clusters as the primary unit, because that is how the strategy is organised.
- Losses reported as clearly as gains — a report that only shows what improved is not a report.
- Stated method and limitations, especially for AI visibility, which is directional rather than exact.
Both surfaces, one view
Classic search metrics come from Search Console and analytics. AI visibility is measured differently — a fixed prompt set, checked on a schedule — and is directional by nature. Both appear in the same view, clearly distinguished, because pretending they have the same precision would be misleading. See AI visibility tracking.
