<b>Does your rank tracker actually track mobile separately? I checked</b>
Quick verdict. Most tools claim 'mobile + desktop'. I tested whether they really pull two SERPs.

What I found on a real project:
➕ AccuRanker — genuinely separate mobile and desktop crawls, positions differed by 2-4 spots on commercial terms, as expected
➕ Semrush — separate device tracking, but counts as separate keyword slots against your limit (sneaky cost)
➖ Some cheaper tools 'estimate' mobile from a desktop crawl — I saw identical numbers for both, a tell they're faking it

Why it matters: if 70% of your traffic is mobile and your tool reports desktop rank, you're optimizing against the wrong SERP — features, local pack and ad load all shift on mobile.

Test it yourself: track one commercial keyword on both devices for a week. If the numbers never diverge, your tool isn't really checking mobile.

Pick this if mobile is your majority traffic — pay for true separate crawls. Skip tools that show identical device numbers; that's a red flag, not a feature.
