The position, the ranking URL and who sits around you.
Use this keyword rank checker to see your Google position for any keyword, country and device.
Part of SEO automation
Give the keyword rank checker your keyword, domain and country.
Check rankingThe keyword rank checker opens SpringBrand with your request. Each check spends credits from your balance.
What the check returnsRuns in SpringBrandAfter you sign in or create an account, the agent runs a live Google search, looks for your domain in the results and returns the position, the ranking URL and the top results it saw.
START WITH A REQUEST
Each card is a real question people ask. Add your keyword and domain and the keyword rank checker opens it in SpringBrand.
Your position for the keyword in the location you name, down to the city where the data source supports it, with the ranking URL and the results around it.
Question How do I check where I rank for a keyword in one city or ZIP code, not just the whole country?
The position and ranking URL in a live search for that keyword, with the top results, so you can set it beside what you see by hand.
Question My rank tracker says a keyword dropped from position 1 to 30, but I still see it on page one when I search. What's going on?
Positions for the keywords you name, checked in one request, each with the URL that ranks.
Question Is $390 a year normal for a rank tracker, or is there a cheaper way to just check a few keywords?
WHAT TO KNOW
A keyword rank checker, a rank tracker database and Google Search Console answer three different questions, so the numbers rarely match.
01 / THREE SOURCES
A live check (what this page runs) asks Google once, for one location and device, and reports what came back at that moment. A keyword index such as DataForSEO's ranked-keywords data is collected on its own schedule. It is good for seeing every keyword a domain ranks for, but each position is as old as the last update.
Google Search Console reports an average position across every search where your page appeared, over days or weeks, for all locations and devices together. A live check is accurate for the search it ran: one keyword, location and device at one moment.
Live check: one search, one place, one moment
Keyword index: every keyword, as of the last update
Search Console: an average over days and locations
02 / SUDDEN DROPS
Since September 2026, SEO practitioners have also reported rank trackers returning results that do not match what they see by hand.
When a drop looks too sharp, check the same keyword in a second data source before you act on it. You can ask SpringBrand to run the same keyword through both Serper and DataForSEO in one request.

03 / LOCATION
Rankings shift between countries, cities and devices, especially for local searches. Name the country and device when you ask the keyword rank checker, and add a city when the data source supports city-level searches. If you need positions around several locations, ask for them in one request and compare them side by side.
Blue links are only part of the page now: track your AI visibility to see which keywords show an AI Overview that cites you.

04 / IN YOUR ASSISTANT
If you already work in an AI coding assistant, you do not need another dashboard. Connect SpringBrand over MCP and ask Claude Code, Codex or Cursor to run the keyword rank checker.
The same search tools run there and the credits come from the same balance.

On 2026-11-13 a live US Google check for "download linkedin images" returned 18 organic results and springbrand.ai was not among them, while DataForSEO's index (last updated September 2026) listed springbrand.ai at position 16 for the same keyword. Neither number is wrong: they were measured at different times, which is why the keyword rank checker names its data source.

Checked on
Since September 2026, SEO practitioners have reported rank trackers returning results that do not match what they see by hand. One wrote in r/TechSEO about sudden drops that a manual check did not confirm.
“For example, keywords that rank in position 1 suddenly drop to position 30, but when I manually check the actual SERPs, these drops simply aren't there.”

Search Console takes the topmost position of your site in each search where it appeared and averages it across all of those searches, over days and locations together. A keyword rank checker reports one search, in one place, at one moment.

Most keyword rank checkers give you a one-off snapshot and point you to a paid rank tracker for anything more. The table compares what each tool's own page says about no-cost checks, sign-in, locations, the results it shows and whether you can run it from an AI assistant or API. Where a page did not say, we wrote that instead of guessing.
