F.A.Q
Keyword ranking is basically your webpage’s position in a search query over a search engine for a particular keyword. When a user enters a keyword in the search query, your webpage is displayed to the user according to its standing in the keyword ranking. The ranking is based on your usage of the keyword in the content, headings, and image descriptions.
SERPs or Search Engine Result Pages are the webpages that are displayed to a user when they search for a particular term on a search engine. These SERPs are unique even for the same keywords on the same search engine. SERP ranking plays a vital role in bringing traffic to your page from search engines.
Yes, keyword rankings are not the same for desktop and mobile platforms. To be accurate, there is a fluctuation of more than 40 percent between keyword standings between the two platforms. Mobile and desktops, thus are two separate entities for keyword rankings.
Keyword rankings on Google may change due to several different reasons. The main cause of a drop or a rise in your rankings could be one of the following:
*Changes made by a competitor to their SEO
*Changes in Google’s algorithms
*SERP fluctuations
