If you\u2019re outside the top 10 search results, it can be even more volatile. For example, you may jump from position #67 to #43 \u201covernight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The point is this: Don\u2019t obsess and check your rankings every day. Dropping a position or two is normal and not always indicative of a problem. There\u2019s no need to constantly be optimizing. It\u2019s better to look out for rankings trending downward over time, as this may indicate you need to do something.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/rank-tracker\">Rank Tracker<\/a>, you can see this via the <strong>Grossing<\/strong> report:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1346\" height=\"868\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image11-10.png\" alt=\"Grossing report, via Ahrefs' Rank Tracker&#10;\" class=\"wp-image-167233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image11-10.png 1346w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image11-10-659x425.png 659w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image11-10-768x495.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1346px) 100vw, 1346px\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1346\" height=\"868\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image11-10.png\" alt=\"Grossing report, via Ahrefs' Rank Tracker&#10;\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-167233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image11-10.png 1346w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image11-10-659x425.png 659w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image11-10-768x495.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1346px) 100vw, 1346px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t expect to rank high immediately<\/h3>\n<p>SEO takes time.
