SearchMind is Linkstonic’s keyword intelligence hub. It tracks your Google organic rankings for any domain and country, syncs performance data from your Google Search Console property, and surfaces internal linking opportunities directly from your GSC query data. Whether you want a live view of where your pages rank today or a historical trajectory across hundreds of keywords, SearchMind gives you the data in one place without switching between tools.

Keyword position tracking

Add any keywords you want to monitor and SearchMind records their Google ranking position over time for the country you specify. You can track as many keywords as you need and review rank trajectories in a chart view to spot trends — drops after algorithm updates, climbs after a content refresh, or stagnation that signals a cannibalization issue. If you do not have Google Search Console connected, you can still run manual position checks. Linkstonic scrapes live Google results for your keywords on demand, giving you an accurate snapshot of current positions without requiring GSC access. Manual checks are useful for competitive research or auditing keywords outside your own property.

Top pages analytics

When Google Search Console is connected, the Top Pages view shows you a GSC-powered breakdown of your best-performing pages sorted by clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position. Use the filters to narrow the view by date range, URL directory (for example, /blog/ or /products/), or country. This gives you a fast way to identify which pages are earning the most organic traffic and which have strong impressions but low CTR — a signal that the title tag or meta description needs work.

Lag — internal linking opportunities

Lag is SearchMind’s internal linking intelligence layer. It analyzes your GSC data to find page-and-query combinations where you are ranking but not linking internally to support those rankings. Specifically, it surfaces cases where a page ranks for a query that other pages on your site mention but do not link to — meaning you have an easy opportunity to add an internal link and reinforce the ranking signal. Use Lag alongside LinkMind (see LinkMind) for the full internal linking picture: Lag shows you where the GSC data suggests you should link, and LinkMind shows you the structural gaps in your crawl data.
Top Pages analytics and Lag analysis require Google Search Console to be connected to your Linkstonic workspace. See Connect Google Search Console to set this up.

Adding your first tracked keywords

1

Open SearchMind

Click SearchMind in the left sidebar of your Linkstonic workspace.
2

Click Add Keywords

Click the Add Keywords button in the top-right corner of the keyword tracking table.
3

Enter your keywords and select a country

Type your keywords into the input field, one per line. Select the target country from the dropdown — this controls which Google index Linkstonic checks positions against. If you target multiple countries, add the same keywords separately for each country.
4

Save

Click Save. Linkstonic begins collecting ranking data immediately. Your first data point appears within the next tracking cycle. Historical data accrues over time — the longer you track a keyword, the more useful the trajectory chart becomes.
If you have a large keyword list, use the Google Sheets import to sync keywords in bulk. Format your Sheet with one keyword per row and share the link with Linkstonic. This is the fastest way to migrate an existing keyword set from another rank tracker.

Connecting Google Search Console

To unlock Top Pages and Lag analysis, connect your GSC property from the integrations settings. See Connect Google Search Console for the full setup walkthrough. Once connected, Linkstonic pulls GSC data on a regular sync cadence and makes it available in the SearchMind views without any additional configuration.
