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.

Get started in one request

Fetch the Google SERP and read your domain's position. That is a Google rank check.

curl "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web?q=project%20management%20software&num=10" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web",
    params={"q": "project management software", "num": 10},
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
results = r.json()["organic"]
# position of your domain in the SERP
rank = next(
    (o["position"] for o in results
     if "yourdomain.com" in o["domain"]),
    None,
)
print("rank:", rank)
const res = await fetch(
  "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web?q=" +
    encodeURIComponent("project management software") + "&num=10",
  { headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } },
);
const { organic } = await res.json();
const rank = organic.find(o =>
  o.domain.includes("yourdomain.com"))?.position ?? null;
console.log("rank:", rank);
