A Google rank tracker watches where a domain sits in Google's organic results over time. The Google rank tracker API gives you that signal as raw data: request the Google SERP for a keyword in a target locale, read the position of your domain in the organic array, and store it. Repeat on a schedule and you have a Google rank tracker you fully control.

Searlo queries Google directly and returns exact positions with full organic context — titles, snippets, domains — for every result. Because it is priced per query at $0.30 per 1,000, tracking thousands of Google keywords daily stays inexpensive and predictable.

Build a Google rank tracker in three steps

First, request the Google SERP for your keyword with the country and language you care about. Second, find your domain in the organic results and record its position with a timestamp. Third, schedule the job — daily for most keywords, more often for priority terms.

Everything downstream — charts, alerts, client reports — runs on data you own, with no per-keyword ceiling.
