What is the Page Tracker?

With the Page Tracker, you can monitor the pages that matter most to you.

Let's say you've rewritten an article. You can track how that change impacts citations and AI crawler visits over time. Add an annotation to mark when you made the update, making it easy to see what changed and when

Adding a Page

Step 1. Click Add Page

The Add page button is at the top right of the overview. A window opens where you can add one or more pages.

Step 2. Paste Your Page Addresses

Enter one URL per line. You can add several pages at once. Addresses without https:// also work. They automatically use HTTPS.

Step 3. Create

Empty lines are ignored. Tracking parameters and fragments (everything after #) are removed automatically.

Step 4. View Your Page In The List

The page appears in the overview. It starts collecting data.

You can also track external pages, such as a LinkedIn Pulse article you've published, to see how often they're cited in AI-generated responses and how that changes over time.

Understanding the Overview

The three cards at the top:

Card	What it shows
Pages tracked	The number of pages you are tracking.
Citations	The total number of times your tracked pages were named as a source.
Crawled last 7 days	How many of your pages AI crawlers visited in the past 7 days.

The columns in the list:

Column	What it shows
Page	The title and address of the page.
Prompts	The number of prompts in which the page plays a role.
Citations	The number of citations, with an arrow indicating whether they've increased or decreased.
Last 14 days	A small chart with the trend of the past 14 days.
Crawl activity	The number of crawler visits. Or "No crawls" if there are none.
Last cited	When the page was last cited.
Actions	Open the page or remove it from the list.

Filtering and searching

Search by page. Choose a period. Filter by Tags, Personas, Scenarios, Models and Brands. This shows you exactly what you want to compare.

Annotations and the effect of your work

Made a change to a page? Whether you've rewritten the content, added a source, or updated the structure, simply add an annotation to mark when it happened. This makes it easy to compare the data before and after your changes and see how they impacted citations and crawler visits.

Your own website or an external page?

The data you see depends on the type of page.

Type of page	Citation data	Crawler data
Your own website (connected)	Yes	Yes, with Crawler Analytics activated
External page, for example LinkedIn	Yes	No

Crawler data is only available for your own website. You can connect it to Rankshift.
