Score: The Score column represents the overall strength of the domain. This is a legacy metric that is in use by some long-time customers based on their original requirements of a point system for rank positions 1, 2, 3 and 4 through 10, summed and divided by the total number of keywords selected for the report. Our Visibility Score replaced this old metric, however, we allowed the original score to remain for their use. Visibility Score is based on the position of ranking keywords in the top 30 search results, and average search volume. (Learn more...)

No Data Found

If your account is relatively new, and depending on several variables (number of keywords, number of search engines, date range, etc.), rank reports can take anywhere from a few minutes to a 8 hours until your first reports will display all of the data. In the case of a campaign that is a day or more old, incorrect campaign configuration can lead to empty reports as well. Clicking the Default Report Settings button usually resolves the issue.

Common causes for 'no data found' message:

Account is new and our rank tracker is gathering data
Invalid date range (e.g., the report start date is older than the campaign creation date)
Keyword / URL combination on report options was not found
within the maximum supported results tracked by each search engine (refer to our current list of supported search engines and rank depth for additional information). Note that this is relevant only for rank reports and graphs.
Incomplete campaign setup (missing URL / Keywords / Search Engines / Authorized Connections)
Website is new and hasn't been indexed by search engines yet
Authorized connection to a third party data provider has expired or been configured incorrectly (refer to the third party integration or webmaster tool documentation)
Delays or outage of third party data provider (e.g., Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.)

If keywords are missing completely from a rank report, there are 2 possibilities:

New keywords may have been added to the campaign, but not selected. Learn more...
The search engine did not return any result for the keyword on any domain. In some rank reports, Rank Ranger will not display keywords for which the search engine displays no results - meaning no results for any URL on the web. So if Google.com has results, but Google Mobile does not, you will see results for the keyword in the Google.com table, but the keyword will not display at all in the Google Mobile table. That is the way the system is designed because it needs a response from the search engine in order to record a number and when there is no response, then there is no number.
