Q: How accurate is your data?
- SyCara data is collected in real-time, ensuring search results are accurate and up-to-date. SyCara manages and runs these reports to make sure your results provide a more accurate measurement of your search engine rankings.
Q: Will my website be penalized if I use SyCara?
- Using the SyCara rank checker will not harm your website’s rankings. Using a typical desktop rank checker increases the risk of your IP being blocked. However, SyCara does not use your IP, which eliminates the risk of website penalization.
Q: Is using SyCara safe for my local IP address?
- Yes, SyCara runs all report queries so that your personal IP address is completely excluded from reports. This also ensures that your results are not personalized and provides a more accurate measurement of your search engine rankings.
Q: Why don’t my reports match the results that I get when I do a search using my keywords?
- Search engines often factor-in your search history, location and more to provide search results that are most relevant to you. Since SyCara runs the queries for you, your computer and local IP address are not used and the results reported are not personalized. As a result, the reports generated by SyCara are a better benchmark of how your keywords rank for a majority of users.
- Additionally, SyCara displays results for the search engines’ primary (organic) rankings and takes into account how universal results affect the organic rankings including places. Universal results such as videos, news, real-time feeds or niche sites, such as blogs, can be analyzed using SyCara tool. Taking into account these many variables that can affect individual search results, your website may often display at a different position than is shown in your SyCara report.
Q: Does SyCara provide insight into how competitors are optimizing their rankings?
- Yes, SyCara’s Competitor Compare identifies your top competitors’ rankings, so you can track their keyword rankings alongside your own.
Additionally, the SEO Optimization Report analyzes the top 10 sites for your keywords, and then compares how your site is setup with both on and off page factors taken into consideration.
Q:What about universal and local search results?
- SyCara provides users with universal and local search results to enhance the personalization of SEO efforts. Providing first-to-market local search results, users can filter their keyword and link results to target a specific zip code or area of the country, to maximize localization efforts for web content.
Q: Can you check for keyword rankings beyond the first 30 listings?
- Not at this time.
Q: How long will it take for my report to run?
- The time it takes to run a report can range from minutes to hours depending on the size of the report, including (but not limited to) the number of:
- Keyword phrases
- Search engines to scan
- Pages that need auditing
