Cheap SERP monitoring tool

jhjh Member

Does anyone know of a cheap SERP monitoring tool? I want to keep an eye on our ranking across about 150-200 keywords for one site, see ranking changes daily and see how backlinks change too. I want a very clear and fast interface and ideally an iOS app too.

Budget: $20/month absolute max, less is better

    In to see what others use.

    I use a few tools but they don't meet your requirements.

  • Check on whatsmyserp.com, they have a free slab and after certain limits you are charged.

    I use moz, but your budget is absolutely too low for those requirements... For keyword ranking only (no backlink info) you could try serpbook, they're quite nice.

    I've looked at the major players and they all charge more but I don't understand why they have to. It's not a difficult service to provide.

    It actually is... major players like ahrefs, moz, etc have their own crawlers much like google does, their own huge database of links/keywords/etc much like google does, all of which requires a lot of storage space/processing power/coding/etc... except, unlike google they don't make tons of money from ads, so those costs need to be passed down to their clients.

    Also, it's not as easy to automatically find keyword ranking either, because google doesn't provide an API for this anymore, and it's actually against their terms of service to automate such a thing on their platform.

    Hence the big prices requested by these companies for such services.

    How can you check Google rankings without getting them from Google?

    I emailed Positionly and after a bit of negotiation, I got exactly what I wanted but on a yearly payment term :)

    Interesting to know ;)

  • Saw you already found something, but we have stuff split between MSM & SERPWoo

  • GM2015GM2015 Member

    Try these:

    http://serposcope.serphacker.com/en/
    http://www.scrapebox.com/bhw
    http://www.scrapebox.com/ranktracker-plugin

    You might need proxies for scrapebox ranktracker, because google is quick to block ips they suspect of automated queries.

    Others worth mentioning are
    https://www.wincher.com/
    Proranktracker
    Serpfox
    Serpwoo
