Keyword rank checker from a real search source

Where any site sits for its keywords in a real results page, by country. Free, no account.

What it shows

Where you sit, and who sits above you

A real results page

Each keyword is fetched from a real search results page for the country you pick, not from a cached index. Position is where your page appears, with the page named.

Who is above you

The sites ranking higher, which is two lists at once: the competitors you need to outrank and the roundups and guides that could list you.

Searches a month

The volume beside each keyword, so a position 4 for a keyword nobody types does not look like a win.

By country

Rankings differ by country. Pick the one your buyers are in; the product tracks several.

Which page ranks

The page that ranks is sometimes not the one you meant. The checker names it, so a guide ranking for a product keyword is visible.

Daily in the product

Rankings move. The agent checks the target keywords daily and reports the moves in the morning digest, not a number from last month.

How it works

Positions, in three bands

01

Top 10

On the first page. Moving from 7 to 3 is the work of better links and a tighter page, and it is where most of the clicks are.

02

11 to 100

Indexed and close. Usually a content gap or a links gap; the authority checker tells you which.

03

Not in 100

Either the page does not exist, or it is about something else. Write the page before you build links to it.

What reports miss

Why a position is not the story

The pages above you are prospects

A roundup ranking first for your keyword is not only a competitor; it is a page that lists vendors like you. The finder judges it.

Country changes everything

A position 3 in one country can be nowhere in another. Check where your buyers are.

Volume decides the value

Position 1 for a keyword with 30 searches is worth less than position 8 for one with 5,000. Both numbers sit side by side here.

Common findings

What a first check usually shows

A few on page one

The pages with the most links and the clearest titles. Push these from 7 to 3 first; it is the cheapest traffic.

Most in 11 to 40

Indexed, close, stuck. A links gap or a thin page. The authority checker says which.

The big keyword not ranking

A keyword with tens of thousands of searches and no page for it. Write the page, then build to it.

The wrong page ranking

A blog post ranking for a product keyword. Add the product page to the post and link it; or merge.

Different countries, different pictures

Page one in one country, nowhere in another. Pick the market and track it.

Roundups above you

A list ranking first for your keyword is a page that could list you. It goes to the finder.

Who it is for

Owners who do their own SEO

Local service businesses

Near-me keywords by city. Track the city your buyers are in.

Software and agencies

Category keywords and best-of roundups. The roundups above you are prospects.

Online shops

Product and category keywords with volume beside position, so the work goes where the clicks are.

What to do next

Three steps after the result

Pick five keywords

The ones with volume where you sit in 4 to 20. Those move with links.

Pitch the pages above you

The finder judges them and the agent drafts the ask.

Track daily in the product

Moves reported in the morning digest, so a drop is caught the day it happens.

The terms

Six words the result uses

Position

Where your page appears in the results for the keyword, counting organic results only, in the chosen country.

Search volume

Average monthly searches for the keyword in that country, from the keyword planner data the agent hunts with.

Ranking page

The page of yours that appears. Sometimes not the one you meant; the checker names it.

Above you

The sites in higher positions. Competitors to outrank, and roundups that could list you.

Country

Results differ by market. The checker uses a clean result for the country you pick, not your personalised view.

Daily tracking

In the product, each target keyword is checked every day and moves are reported in the morning digest.

Mistakes to avoid

Three ways to misread a position

Checking from your own browser

Your results are personalised by location and history. Use a clean check for the country.

Celebrating position one for nothing

A keyword with thirty searches a month brings thirty visits at most. Volume sits beside position for this reason.

Building links to a page that is not there

If a keyword has no page, write it first. Links to the home page for a product keyword do little.

A worked example

Twelve keywords, three positions that mattered

The check

A consultancy tracked twelve keywords in one country. Three ranked in the top ten, four between eleven and thirty, five not in the top hundred. The checker named the ranking page for each, which showed the first problem: two of the top-ten keywords were ranking with the home page, not the service page written for them.

The pages

For the five with no position, four had no page at all. The site had been expecting the home page to rank for everything. Four pages were written, one per keyword, each answering the search in the first paragraph. The two home-page rankings were moved to their service pages with internal links and a clearer title.

The links

The agent found roundups and guides above the site for the top-thirty keywords and asked for additions, from the owner's inbox, each approved first. Seven links earned in eight weeks, every one to the page that needed it rather than to the home page.

The result

At twelve weeks: eight of twelve keywords in the top ten, the two moved keywords up from positions nine and seven to three and two, and the new pages ranking between four and fourteen. The morning digest showed each move the day it happened, with the page, the position and the link that preceded it.

Reading the moves

What a position change usually means

Up three or more

Usually a link landed or a page was improved. The digest shows which, because the agent logs every link beside the date.

Down three or more

Often a competitor published something better, or a link was lost. Check the lost-links row in the backlink checker first.

Swapping pages

When a different page of yours starts ranking, two pages compete. Merge them or give each its own keyword.

Different by country

A keyword can be position three in one market and absent in another. The checker tracks each country you pick on its own.

In the product

What the paid agent adds to the free check

Daily positions

Every target keyword checked each morning in each country you track, with moves and their likely cause in the digest.

Pages you are missing

Keywords with no ranking page are listed with a brief for the page to write, in the order of search volume.

Links tied to moves

Every earned link is logged beside the date, so when a keyword moves the digest names the link that preceded it.
