Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 38 of the 39 other rank trackers we grade
Algoroo is a free website from the Australian agency DEJAN that tracks day-to-day turbulence in Google's search results. It watches the rankings of a fixed set of keywords and adds up their rises and falls into one daily score it calls roo, charted for google.com or google.com.au on desktop or mobile. Algorithm updates that Google discloses are marked on the chart.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Algoroo, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It doesn't track your own site or keywords at all.
- 1
Best for checking whether Google is shaking things up
Algoroo is a free web chart from the Australian agency DEJAN that scores how much Google's results move each day.

It is free
Algoroo has no paid plan at all. The volatility chart, the daily summary and the Google update notes are open to anyone at algoroo.com, with no account or sign-up.
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
Daily roo score
Each day's ranking movement across the watched keywords, up and down, is summed into one figure; a high roo means unusually volatile results.
- 5
Color-coded timeline
Ordinary days stay green, while days with unusual movement turn orange or red, so a likely algorithm change stands out on the chart.
- 6
Google update notes
When Google discloses an algorithm update, Algoroo adds it as an annotation on the matching day of the chart.
- 7
A 2.8 GPA, above 38 of 39
That is against the other rank trackers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

The report card
Best for checking whether Google is shaking things up
Algoroo is a free web chart from the Australian agency DEJAN that scores how much Google's results move each day. It doesn't track your own site or keywords at all. It covers only google.com and google.com.au, the keyword set behind the score isn't published, and its Weekly Winners and Losers lists were empty when read. Anyone wanting their own rankings needs a real rank tracker.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free, all of it. There's no paid tier and no account: the chart, the daily summary and the update notes are open to anyone, and the google.com desktop history goes back to 2017. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free outright, with nothing to sign up for. Open the page and the whole thing is there, for desktop and mobile results. |
| Features | D | One narrow job: a daily volatility score with color-coded spikes and Google's announced updates marked. It covers only google.com and google.com.au, and it never tracks your own site or keywords, which is what this category is for. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: open the site, pick google.com or google.com.au and desktop or mobile, and read the chart. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no app, no API and no integrations. It's a page you visit, and that's it. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Algoroo is for
- Fits if your rankings just dropped and you want to see whether all of Google moved that day
- Works for sites ranking in Australia, with google.com.au beside google.com
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want your own rankings tracked, as it doesn't do that at all
- Skip it if you need a market other than google.com or google.com.au
- Too light for real analysis, since the keyword set behind the score isn't published
- Watch out: the Weekly Winners and Losers sections have their data switched off and were empty when read
- Watch out: it's a web page only, with no app, API or integrations
Good to know
Good for
- Checking whether a sudden ranking drop lines up with wider Google turbulence
- Sites that rank in Australia, with a google.com.au view beside google.com
- A quick daily look at search volatility without signing up for anything
Worth knowing
- It measures movement across its own keyword set; it does not track your site's keywords or positions.
- Only google.com and google.com.au are covered, on desktop and mobile.
- The keyword set is not published; the site describes it only as thousands of carefully selected keywords.
- The page has Weekly Winners and Losers headings, but their data calls are switched off and both lists were empty when read.

Place it runs: Web
Free daily chart of how much Google's search results are moving. Here is what it does, as its own site describes it, and what it covers: research, rank tracking.
One narrow job: a daily volatility score with color-coded spikes and Google's announced updates marked.
- Daily roo score
- Each day's ranking movement across the watched keywords, up and down, is summed into one figure; a high roo means unusually volatile results.
- Color-coded timeline
- Ordinary days stay green, while days with unusual movement turn orange or red, so a likely algorithm change stands out on the chart.
- Google update notes
- When Google discloses an algorithm update, Algoroo adds it as an annotation on the matching day of the chart.
- Two markets, two devices
- Switch the chart between google.com and google.com.au, and between desktop and mobile results.
- Today's summary
- A short note compares today's score with yesterday's and counts the days since the last orange or red spike.
- History back to 2017
- The data behind the google.com desktop chart starts in July 2017, so a current spike can be set against earlier updates.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
Algoroo is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 38 of the 39 other rank trackers we grade.
What you could not
- A library of papers and sources to search.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
What this rests on. Algoroo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
