TinyRanker Tracks Only the Top 20 – Ranktracker Tracks Full Top 100

Intro

If you’re looking at TinyRanker as a rank tracking solution, there’s a depth limitation that matters a lot once you move beyond very basic SEO monitoring.

TinyRanker tracks rankings only up to the Top 20 positions. Anything ranking beyond page two (positions 21–100) is not tracked or reported in a meaningful way.

That makes TinyRanker a lightweight checker, not a full SERP tracking platform.

How TinyRanker rank tracking actually works

TinyRanker is designed to be simple and affordable, but that simplicity comes with trade-offs:

• Tracks rankings positions 1–20
• No visibility into positions 21–100
• Limited historical context beyond page two
• Early-stage ranking progress is hidden
• Competitor tracking is shallow

If a keyword ranks at position 33, 58, or 84, TinyRanker does not show that movement.

From a reporting point of view, that keyword hasn’t “started ranking” yet.

What this looks like in real SEO work

This limitation becomes obvious when you’re actively trying to grow rankings.

Common situations include:

• Keywords appearing suddenly once they hit the Top 20
• Rankings jumping without context
• SEO work feeling delayed
• Difficulty showing progress to clients or stakeholders

Example:

• A keyword moves from **position 91 → 67 → 42

**You see nothing.

• It later reaches **position 19

**Suddenly it appears.

All the progress before page two is invisible.

Why Top 20-only tracking is a serious limitation

SEO growth rarely starts on page one or page two.

Most meaningful progress happens here:

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

Those are positions 21–100 — exactly where TinyRanker stops tracking.

Without visibility into this stage:

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

SEO becomes reactive instead of proactive.

The blind spots TinyRanker creates

With Top 20-only tracking, you cannot:

• Measure early keyword improvements
• Validate content or link changes quickly
• Track competitors before they reach page two
• Diagnose ranking drops below the Top 20
• Understand why rankings improved

You only see the result — not the journey.

How Ranktracker handles rank tracking differently

Ranktracker was rebuilt specifically to remove these blind spots.

With Ranktracker:

• Positions 1–100 are tracked
• Updates run daily
• No depth limits
• Full historical movement
• Clear competitor visibility across the entire SERP

If a keyword moves from position 96 → 74 → 49 → 28 → 12, you see every step.

Nothing disappears.

TinyRanker vs Ranktracker in simple terms

TinyRanker

• Tracks only Top 20
• No visibility beyond page two
• Early SEO progress hidden
• Built for basic checks

Ranktracker

• Tracks full Top 100 daily
• Complete SERP visibility
• Momentum visible early
• Built for serious SEO workflows

One shows late-stage rankings. The other shows the full ranking journey.

Who TinyRanker works best for

TinyRanker can work if:

• You only care about page one and two
• SEO tracking is very light
• Early-stage growth isn’t important

But if your SEO depends on:

• Growing keywords from page 3–10
• Seeing momentum early
• Tracking competitors before page one
• Making fast, data-driven decisions

Then Top 20-only tracking is not enough.

Bottom line

TinyRanker 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 understand how rankings actually move, not just when they finally appear, daily Top 100 tracking matters.
