Adding a keyword
Configure the keyword
Fill in the keyword settings:
- Keyword — the search term to track (e.g. “best project management tools”)
- Location — the country to check rankings in (e.g. United States). SERP Lens supports 200+ countries.
- Device — Desktop, Mobile, or Both. Choosing Both tracks the keyword separately on each device and uses 2x credits.
- Refresh interval — how often to check:
- Daily (31 credits) — standard tracking for active campaigns
- Weekly (4 credits) — efficient for trend monitoring
- Monthly (1 credit) — lowest cost for long-term tracking
- Language (optional) — the Google interface language for the search
Credit costs are per keyword-location-device combination. See ranking
credits for the full calculation formula.
Bulk import
You can add multiple keywords at once by entering them one per line in the keyword form. All keywords in a bulk add share the same location, device, and refresh interval settings.CSV import for bulk keyword uploads is coming soon.

| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | Keyword is being tracked at the configured interval |
| Refreshing | A ranking check is currently in progress |
Editing keywords
After adding a keyword, you can change its refresh interval, device setting, or tags. Changing these settings adjusts the credit cost accordingly — increasing frequency or adding devices uses more credits, while decreasing frequency frees credits up.Deleting keywords
Remove keywords you no longer need to free up credits. You can delete individual keywords or use bulk selection to remove multiple at once.Next steps
