Questions, answered

What if a keyword drops suddenly - will it alert me immediately?

This run is weekly, so you'll catch drops on Monday morning. For instant alerts on major drops, WebRun can be set to run daily instead - just update the schedule.

How many keywords can it track?

As many as you have in your Ahrefs campaign and Search Console. WebRun reads whatever list you've already configured in those tools.

Does it make any changes to my rankings or settings?

No. It only reads data and posts a report - nothing is altered in Search Console or Ahrefs.

Put this on autopilot.
