Proxies for SEO rank tracking

The same keyword ranks differently depending on where you search from. The ranking you see in the office is the result near your office. With ProxyWorld residential IPs, your rank tracker searches from the country and city you want.

Why rankings shift by location

Search engines change results based on the searcher's country, language and nearby businesses. For a local service keyword, ranking third in one city and sitting on page two in the next city is common.

Searching from a residential IP in that city is how you get what locals see. Judge local SEO results by that.

Setting up city tracking

Put the country and city together in the username. Write it like -cc-au-city-sydney or -cc-de-city-hamburg and the search runs from a residential IP in that area.

Make a list of keyword and city pairs in your tracking tool and assign one username to each pair. When you change areas later, you only edit the username.

Check frequency and GB use

Checking once a day is enough for most keywords. Rankings rarely move much within a few hours, and once a day also saves GB.

For the week after you move a site or open a new page, check the main keywords several times a day. On GB pricing, only the extra you used that week comes off.

Rotate the IP or hold it?

Rotate. A search ends in one request, so sending each from a new IP spreads the load naturally. Leave out -sid and the gateway changes the IP for you.

Hold it briefly only when you need to page through several result pages for one keyword. Set -ttl- to 3~5 minutes and the session ends around the time you finish that keyword.

Frequent questions

How many countries can I track?

Residential IPs are in 60 countries. In many of them you can pick the city as well.

Can I connect the rank tracker I use now?

Any program that supports HTTP or SOCKS5 proxies with username and password authentication works. The ports are 6100 for HTTP and 6200 for SOCKS5.

I get results from the wrong country.

Check that the country code after -cc- is two lowercase letters and spelled right. With a typo, you do not reach the country you wanted.

Can several client projects share the same GB?

Yes. Just give each project different username options. The GB come off one shared pool.
