A keyword ranking API answers a single question at scale: for this keyword, in this market, what position does this domain hold? Searlo returns the full ranked result set, so the answer is a lookup in the organic array — no scraping, no proxies, no headless browsers to maintain.

Feed it one keyword or a hundred thousand. Each lookup is one query at $0.30 per 1,000, so monitoring a large keyword set stays cheap and the cost scales linearly with volume rather than seats.

Features

  • Exact keyword positions

    Every organic result returns its position, so any domain's rank for a keyword is a direct read.

  • Per-market rankings

    Country and language parameters return keyword rankings as they appear in each locale.

  • Keyword + organic data

    See snippets and metadata for every result competing for the keyword alongside organic rank.

  • Bulk-friendly

    Run large keyword sets concurrently and pay only for the queries you make.
