What is Keyword Ranking

Keyword Ranking is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the position a website or webpage holds in search engine results (such as Google or Bing) for a specific keyword or search query. It provides direct insight into how visible a website’s content is for relevant searches and serves as a vital metric for assessing the success of search engine optimization (SEO) efforts. A higher keyword ranking (closer to the first position) typically correlates with greater visibility, higher traffic potential, and improved online authority. Tracking keyword rankings over time helps businesses understand which keywords and pages perform best and identify areas for SEO improvement.
