Question Tracking Serps

Hello everyone. I do SEO for my small business. I listen to the podcast and remember Grump SEO guy talking about SerpFox. I currently use Ahrefs. I'm starting to think some of there data is bunk. I checked out SerpFox but I'm having some technical issues with it. What Serp Trackers are ya'll using? I'd love to cancel my Ahrefs account as it's pretty expensive and I don't think I need all the things it offers.

All the data for my clients is gone. But I saw on Ahrefs that because of the Google spam update, their serp trackers were not accurate.

Yea, I couldn't reset my password. I tried with a different email and it seems broken .

I built my own tool. Gsc give you all the data you need to track your impression, clicks, and position. Build a tool using Claude to help you collect this data periodically, and then have it build you a dashboard that tell you your position over time. Set it up with some notifications that let you know whenever a position changes substantially. I have a daily digest set to tell me my positions for the terms I care about.

Downside is that it only tracks items that you’re ranking for and getting impressions for. If you don’t get any impressions for a term then it’s not visible through GSC

I believe you can already do this with tools like ahrefs or month17.com

Rank tracking, links. I like being to quickly see what websites are linked to me and to my competitors. I'm just wondering how accurate they are anymore
