The SEO landscape is dynamic and full of surprises. You never know if the next algorithm update will push your website to the top of the SERP results or if you'll see a decrease in your SEO metrics. So, implementing an efficient SEO monitoring system is a must for those who want to stay in the lead.

Žydrūnas Tamašauskas, Head of Product Development at Oxylabs, knows precisely how critical SEO monitoring is for business growth. That's why, in the latest Scraping Experts video lesson, he discusses the topic of how to monitor SEO performance by building a custom and cost-effective system.
