What gets in the way

The position you see for a keyword from your desk is your position, in your city, with your search history. A client in another country sees a different page. Local businesses feel this most, since the map results and the organic list both shift from one city to the next.

Search engines also limit how many automated queries they answer from one address. Rank tools reach that limit quickly, and a tool that returns partial results looks like a ranking drop that never happened.

Which line fits

Recommended

ISP proxies

ISP IPs let you choose country, region and city, and they are registered to consumer providers, so search pages tend to treat them like ordinary visitors. Because the IP stays the same for the term, yesterday’s ranking and today’s were checked from the same spot.

Also works

Datacenter proxies

Crawling your own site for broken links, redirect loops and missing tags does not need a consumer address. Datacenter IPs handle site audits and checks on your own pages for less, with the same location choice.

$1.90/IP
$0.89/IP from 500 IPs

Residential has no country selection, because the pool picks the exit IP. When a job depends on location, the ISP and datacenter lines let you choose country, region and city.

How to start

  1. Match IPs to the places you report on

    One IP per city or country you track keeps each report tied to a single location.

  2. Add the proxy to your rank tool

    Most SEO tools and scripts accept an HTTP proxy. Paste in the host, port, username and password from the service page in the dashboard.

  3. Keep the query rate low

    Spread keyword checks across the day. Fewer, steadier queries give cleaner results than one burst at midnight.

There is no shared gateway address to copy from this site. Each service shows its own host, port, username and password on its page in the dashboard.

Using it responsibly

Rank tracking and SEO tooling are on our acceptable-use list. Using the same IPs to post comments, submit forms or register accounts in bulk is spam, and spam is banned outright. Check the search engine’s own terms on automated queries before you scale up.

Questions

Can I track rankings for a specific city?

Yes, with ISP or datacenter IPs. Both let you choose country, region and city when you order. Residential cannot, because its pool picks the exit.

Which protocols do the IPs support?

ISP and datacenter IPs speak HTTP and HTTPS, and the dashboard switches each one to SOCKS5 where that proxy offers it, so most rank trackers and crawlers can use them without a plugin. Residential gateways answer HTTP and SOCKS5 on every port they publish.

How many keywords can one IP handle?

We do not publish a number, because it depends on the search engine and on how you pace queries. Start small, watch for captchas, and add IPs when you see them. Concurrency is not metered on our side.
