Google Rank Checker

Track where your pages rank for the keywords that matter.

A simple SEO rank tracker that exports to CSV so you can plot the trend yourself.

Feed Google Rank Checker a URL and a list of keywords. For each keyword, it tells you what position that URL is at on Google's results page — or that it isn't in the top 100. Run it weekly and you have a real, dated SEO progress chart.

What it does

The tool issues a Google search for each keyword you supply, parses the result list, and records the position (1–100) of your target URL. Output is written to a CSV file with a timestamp. Run weekly and you can graph keyword movement over time in Excel or any spreadsheet tool.

Why a desktop tool

  • SaaS rank-trackers cost $50–200 per month for hundreds of keywords
  • You own the historic data — it stays on your disk, not in someone else's database
  • No vendor lock-in — the CSV format is forever
  • Good enough for a personal site or a small portfolio of pages

Limitations to know

Google personalises results by location, language, and search history. The number you see may not exactly match what a logged-in user sees. The tool tries to neutralise this with a clean query, but treat the result as directional rather than absolute. For paid-grade precision, use Search Console.
