Why do I see keywords I never added
SnowSEO automatically pulls keywords your site is already ranking for through Google Search Console. These are shown so you can:
Spot opportunities you did not know about
See what your site already ranks for
Choose to officially track them with one click
You do not need to manually enter every keyword. SnowSEO surfaces these automatically.
Small ranking fluctuations are normal
Do not panic if your keywords move 1 to 5 positions overnight. Google constantly tests and adjusts its results. This happens every day.
Only investigate if:
The drop lasts more than 5 days
Many keywords drop at the same time
It lines up with a known Google algorithm update
You can check the Google Search Status Dashboard to see if an update was rolled out around that date.
