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

Intro

If you’re evaluating Seobility rank tracking, there’s an important limitation you should understand before relying on it for organic visibility and performance measurement.

Seobility tracks rankings only up to the Top 20 positions. Anything ranking beyond page two (positions 21–100) is not tracked or reported in Seobility’s system.

That makes Seobility useful for basic page one and page two checks — but insufficient for full SERP tracking and deeper SEO insights.

How Seobility rank tracking actually works

Seobility’s rank tracker focuses on early-page results:

  • Tracks rankings positions 1–20
  • No visibility into positions 21–100
  • No continuous tracking beyond the Top 20
  • Limited historical context outside page two
  • Reporting focused on near-page-one performance

If a keyword ranks at position 34, 56, or 83, Seobility does not show it.

As far as reports are concerned, those keywords haven’t “started ranking” yet.

What this feels like in real SEO work

This limitation becomes apparent when you see patterns like:

  • Keywords “appear suddenly” once they hit the Top 20
  • SEO progress below page two feels invisible
  • Rankings look static for long periods
  • Improvements lack context

Example:

  • A keyword moves from position 88 → 64 → 44 You see nothing.
  • It later reaches position 18 Suddenly it appears.

All earlier progress before page two is hidden.

Why Top 20-only tracking is a problem

SEO rarely starts on page one or two.

Most meaningful progress happens here:

  • Page 10 → Page 7
  • Page 7 → Page 5
  • Page 5 → Page 3

That’s exactly where Seobility stops tracking.

Without visibility into those stages:

  • Early momentum is missed
  • SEO testing takes longer
  • Competitor movement goes unnoticed
  • Cause-and-effect is hard to prove

SEO becomes reactive instead of proactive.

The blind spots this creates

When a tool stops at position 20, you cannot:

  • Validate content or link improvements early
  • Measure ranking momentum before page one
  • Track competitor climbs from deeper pages
  • Diagnose volatility outside the Top 20
  • Understand why rankings improved

How Ranktracker handles rank tracking differently

Ranktracker was built specifically to remove these blind spots.

Seobility vs Ranktracker in simple terms

Seobility

  • Tracks positions 1–20 only
  • Positions beyond 20 are not tracked
  • Early SEO progress hidden
  • Limited competitive insight

Ranktracker

  • Tracks full Top 100 daily
  • Complete SERP visibility
  • Momentum visible long before page one
  • Built for modern SEO workflows

One shows results late. The other shows how you got there.

Who Seobility works best for

Seobility can work if:

  • You only care about page one and page two
  • Early-stage tracking is not required
  • Rank tracking is not mission-critical

But if your SEO depends on:

  • Tracking growth from page 3–10
  • Seeing momentum early
  • Monitoring competitors before they overtake you

Then Top 20-only tracking is not enough.

Bottom line

Seobility tracks only the Top 20 rankings. Everything beyond page two is invisible.

Ranktracker tracks the full Top 100 every day, with no blind spots, no delays, and complete historical context.

If you want to see how rankings actually move, not just when they finally arrive, full Top 100 tracking matters.
