A couple of weeks ago Joy posted a video, ""Position 1" Doesn't Exist Anymore..." In the video she recommended checking rankings by looking at multiple ranking reports (a hundred or more).

Does any know of ranking software that does that? I've used BrightLocal, but I don't think we'd be able to get dozens of ranking reports, let alone 100s.

Thanks!
Kurt
 
It's really not worth the effort. The chances of any two people seeing the same set of SERPs or even the same map pack are minimal.

Rankoimg is almost a vanity measure. What's more important is how many visitors you convert. If you are getting more calls than you can handle who cares how well you rank.

I get that people don't see the same rankings, but Joy's video said that there are trends. You can know if you are generally showing up or not or if you are improving on average.

I don't think that's vanity. Yes, if you are getting more calls than you can handle who cares, but if you're not and trying to figure out why, then it matters. There are many factors that go into getting a conversion and ranking is an important one. If you're trying to figure out why you aren't getting many calls or why calls decreased, it's helpful to know what needs to be addressed.
