Before you start

Google Search monitoring,
answered.

Can I get alerts when something changes on Google Search?

Yes. A Monocrawl monitor checks Google Search on your schedule and compares each check with the last, so you hear about ranking changes, new results and competitors moving for the queries you track rather than the same results again.

Do I need a Google Search account?

No. You do not need a Google account or Search Console access. Monitors read public results through your Monocrawl key.

How far back does a Google Search monitor go?

A monitor starts from its first check and records every check, so your ranking history builds from then on. It does not backfill past rankings.

How often can a Google Search monitor run, and what does it cost?

Every 15 minutes, hourly, every 6 or 12 hours, daily or weekly. Watching a Google search costs 4 credits a check: about 120 credits a month daily, 2,880 credits hourly. Every account gets 1,000 free credits a month, and a cap on each monitor keeps spending predictable.

Do I need to write code?

No. Build a monitor in the dashboard and send alerts to Slack, Discord or a webhook. If you prefer code, monitors are also available through the API and MCP.
