Why Do I See the Same Keyword Multiple Times?

In AccuRanker, the same keyword can appear multiple times in your keyword list. This happens when you track that keyword with different settings.

Each combination of settings is tracked separately and counts as a separate keyword.

What Makes a Keyword Count as a Separate Keyword?

A keyword can have different tracking settings, including:

• Country locale: The country and language used for the search.
• Search Engine: For example, Google or Bing.
• Device Type: Desktop or mobile.
• Location: The geographic area used for the search.

For example, suppose you track the keyword rank tracker on Google for mobile. If you also track rank tracker on Google for desktop, it will appear twice in your keyword list and count as two tracked keywords.

If you track the same keyword on Google and Bing for both desktop and mobile, AccuRanker tracks four separate configurations. Therefore, the keyword appears four times and counts as four tracked keywords.

Seeing the same keyword multiple times does not necessarily mean that you have unwanted duplicates. Each keyword may represent a different search engine, device, or locale that you want to track.

How to Remove Keyword Versions You Do Not Need

If you are tracking configurations you no longer need, use filters to find and remove them.

For example, if you want to stop tracking keywords on Bing, apply the Search Engine filter and select Bing. You can then select the relevant keywords and delete them.

Before deleting keywords that appear more than once, check their tracking settings to make sure you remove the correct versions.
