# Do I need hourly rank tracking?

## Nozzle allows you to track your rankings on an hourly basis. But is that something you really need?

Hourly rank tracking *is* possible in Nozzle.

However, it isn’t something that most users will need very often.

Your plan allows for a certain number of SERPs every month. The Advanced plan, for example, includes 21,000 SERPs.

If you’re tracking 1,000 keywords hourly, you’ll run out of your allotted SERPs in less than a day.

So, obviously, if that is your situation, hourly rank tracking isn’t exactly what you want.

Or is it?

Nozzle allows you to [control your scheduling](https://help.nozzle.io/how-do-i-set-the-tracking-schedule?hsLang=en) so that you can set up your Keyword Set to track on a daily or weekly basis and then [set a specific time in which you can track your keywords hourly](https://help.nozzle.io/how-do-i-schedule-hourly-tracking-for-a-short-time?hsLang=en).

This will ensure that you stay within your allotted SERPs while still giving you a few more tracking options during important times.

### When is Hourly Tracking a Good Idea?

You may need hourly tracking if you need a lot of data during specific time periods or special events, such as:

- Black Friday
- Amazon Prime Day
- Seasonal spikes
- Product launches

You may also require hourly tracking if you are dealing with:

- Time-sensitive content
- Highly volatile keywords
- Differentiating between business hours and off-hours
- Core Google algorithm updates

Nozzle let’s you set up a schedule to begin tracking hourly on those specific dates so you can get extremely granular data on how you are performing every hour on the hour.
