A: Hi,

Thanks for your question!

Here’s how Labrika’s credit system works:

Keyword ranking credits and page crawling credits are completely separate.

A keyword ranking credit is used each time you refresh a keyword position in a specific search engine + location.

So yes — if you check the same keyword on both desktop and mobile, that would use 2 credits.
If you check 500 keywords once, that would use 500 keyword ranking credits. if you requested a keyword update in 10 different locations for one keyword that would cost you 10 credits.

Labrika automatically renews your credit allowance every 30 days, starting from the day your subscription is activated.
Any unused credits roll over to the next month — but they must be used within the following 30-day period. Rollover is only available while your plan remains active.

If you run out of credits, you'll also have the option to top up your balance anytime.

Keyword rankings do not drastically change hour by hour or day by day for most sites (certain industries, however, are more volatile than others).

If you want to strike a good balance between rank checking frequency AND not using your credits up too quickly, then we would recommend at max checking rankings once per week if you are in an industry with volatile SERP rankings.

However, for most sites in non-volatile industries, checking once per month is more than enough. The goal is the growth of the site, rather than observation. The easiest way to improve the rankings of your site is through the correct use of SEO optimization. Most of which, can be achieved by making sure to fully utilize all of Labrika's SEO optimizations tools contained within your dashboard.

Best regards,
Joe
