Morningscore Tracks Only the Top 20 – Ranktracker Tracks the Full Top 100 Daily

Intro

If you are looking into Morningscore rank tracking, there is a hard limit you should know about upfront.

Morningscore tracks only the Top 20 positions. Anything beyond position 20 is simply not tracked.

That limitation makes a big difference once you move beyond surface-level SEO.

How Morningscore rank tracking works

Morningscore’s tracking model is simple and intentionally limited:

  • Rankings are tracked up to position 20
  • Positions 21–100 are not tracked at all
  • No visibility into page 3, page 4, or deeper
  • No historical data beyond the Top 20
  • No way to monitor early-stage progress

If a keyword ranks at position 37, 58, or 84, Morningscore does not show it.

As far as the tool is concerned, that keyword does not exist yet.

What this feels like in real SEO work

Users usually notice this limitation very quickly.

Common experiences include:

  • Keywords appearing “out of nowhere” once they hit Top 20
  • No way to measure progress before page two
  • SEO work feeling invisible for weeks or months
  • Rankings jumping without warning

For example:

  • A keyword moves from position 92 to 41

You see nothing.

  • It later moves from 41 to 19

Suddenly it appears.

All the work before that point is hidden.

Why Top 20-only tracking is a problem

SEO rarely starts in the Top 20.

Real progress usually looks like this:

  • Page 10 to page 7
  • Page 7 to page 5
  • Page 5 to page 3
  • Page 3 to page 2

Positions 21–100 are where:

  • Content updates first show impact
  • Link building momentum builds
  • Internal linking starts working
  • Recoveries after Google updates begin

If you cannot see those positions, you are working blind.

The hidden cost of Top 20 limits

By stopping at position 20, Morningscore removes feedback loops.

You cannot:

  • Validate whether changes are working early
  • Measure gradual upward movement
  • Spot early drops or recoveries
  • See competitors gaining traction below you

SEO becomes reactive instead of proactive.

How Ranktracker handles rank tracking differently

Ranktracker was rebuilt specifically to avoid these blind spots.

Ranktracker provides:

  • Daily Top 100 rank tracking
  • Full visibility from position 1 to 100
  • No depth limits
  • No keywords disappearing
  • Full historical data
  • Same depth for every plan

If a keyword moves from position 88 to 63, you see it. If it moves from 63 to 29, you see that too.

Every step is visible.

Morningscore vs Ranktracker in simple terms

Morningscore

  • Tracks Top 20 only
  • No visibility beyond page two
  • Early SEO progress hidden
  • Not suitable for deeper analysis

Ranktracker

  • Tracks Top 100 daily
  • Full SERP visibility
  • Early momentum visible
  • Built for real SEO workflows

One shows results once they are close to winning. The other shows how they get there.

Why Morningscore users start looking for alternatives

Most users do not leave immediately.

They start questioning the tool when:

  • Rankings suddenly appear without context
  • SEO work feels disconnected from results
  • Progress before page two is invisible
  • Competitors seem to appear unexpectedly

At that point, the Top 20 limit becomes impossible to ignore.

Who Morningscore works for

Morningscore can work if:

  • You only care about page one and page two
  • You do not need early progress signals
  • You are comfortable with delayed feedback

But if your SEO depends on:

  • Tracking growth from page 3 to page 10
  • Measuring momentum accurately
  • Seeing progress before it hits Top 20

Then Top 20-only tracking is not enough.

Bottom line

Morningscore tracks only the Top 20 rankings. Everything beyond that is invisible.

Ranktracker tracks the full Top 100 daily, for every keyword, with no depth limits and no missing data.

If you want to see the whole journey, not just the finish line, Top 100 tracking matters.
