SERP tracking
Proxies for SERP and rank tracking
Search results depend on where the query comes from. Run rank checks from a static IP in the market you track to read the local page, and push the long tail of keywords through rotating residential traffic.
Where it breaks
What goes wrong first
Search engines localise hard. The same keyword returns different pages, ads and map results depending on the country, and often the city, of whoever asked.
- Rankings that move between countries and between cities
- Challenges and interstitials once one address sends too many queries
- Keyword lists that grow faster than the IP budget
- Results you cannot reproduce because the origin changed underneath them
How the hive handles it
Built for serp tracking
Local by construction
ISP and datacenter IPs are ordered by country, region and city, so a city-level rank check leaves from that city when stock allows.
Know who else is on the IP
A dedicated IP is yours alone for the term. A shared one is split between up to 3 customers, and their query volume lands on the same address as yours. Both are on the order form, at the prices checkout charges.
Spread the long tail
Thousands of low-value keywords go through rotating residential traffic, which keeps query volume off any single address.
Every locale we sell
The allowed-use policy names rank tracking, SERP monitoring and keyword research outright, in any locale we sell. The country list on the locations page is the one the order form draws from.
What we would buy
The line to start on, and the one to fall back to
Prices come from the catalogue checkout reads. No geo surcharge and nothing added at the payment step.
First choice
from $1.50 / IP
ISP
Static residential IPs on named carriers. Buy one. Get it now.
A static IP on a consumer carrier, in the market you track, makes rank checks repeatable and keeps them on a household network.
- One unit at checkout
- $3.20 / IP
- Location at checkout
- By country, region, city and carrier
Fallback
from $1.75 / GB
Residential
Rotating residential IPs, priced per gigabyte, no expiry.
When the keyword list outgrows a handful of static IPs, rotating traffic carries the volume, at the cost of choosing the location.
- One unit at checkout
- $5.50 / GB
- Location at checkout
- Rotating, no location picker
A typical setup
From signup to steady state
Step 1
Group keywords by the country and city you report on
Step 2
Order an ISP IP for each location that matters, and route the rest through residential
Step 3
Pace queries per IP so no single address asks too often
Step 4
Save the results page with the rank, so a jump can be traced to a change on the page

Questions
SERP tracking, answered
Can I track rankings for one city?
Yes, on ISP and datacenter, which are ordered by country, region and city where stock is available. Residential cannot be pinned to a location.
Does your policy allow SERP scraping?
Yes. Rank tracking, SERP monitoring and keyword research are on the allowed list, in any locale we sell.
Shared or dedicated for rank tracking?
Dedicated, if the numbers matter to someone. A shared IP is split between up to 3 customers, so their queries count against the same address as yours.
How many keywords can one IP handle?
That depends on the engine and on your pacing, and we will not quote a figure we have not measured. Start slow per IP, watch for challenges, and add IPs before you add speed.
