# Keyword Rank Checker
Check where a site sits for a keyword from a chosen location, without search history shaping the answer.

- ✓ Set the location
- ✓ No personalisation
- ✓ Any keyword
- ✓ Free, no account

Searching for your own terms in your own browser is the least reliable check available. Your history, your account and your position all shape what comes back, and none of it applies to a new customer.

✓

## A clean reading
What somebody there would actually see.

✓

## Location controlled
Which decides most local results.

✓

## Comparable over time
Same term, same place, repeatedly.

## How It Works

1

### Enter the keyword and site
The terms that bring work, not the flattering ones.

2

### Set the location
Where your customers actually search.

3

### Check on a schedule
Not whenever you feel anxious about it.

## Which keywords to check
The ones that bring work. It is easy to end up tracking terms you rank well for, because the numbers are pleasant, while the terms customers actually type go unmeasured. The useful list is usually shorter and less flattering.

## Why positions vary across a town
Local results depend on where the searcher is. The same term from two ends of a town can return different businesses, and both readings are real. That is why a single point check is worth less than a picture of the area.

## How often to look
Monthly for most businesses. Checking daily produces anxiety and encourages reacting to movement that would have reverted on its own, which does more harm than leaving it alone.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Why is my position different from what I see?**
Your own results are personalised by history and location. A clean check removes both.

**Q: How often should I check?**
Monthly. Daily movement is ordinary and reacting to it causes problems.

**Q: What if I rank differently across town?**
That is expected in local search, and it is why one reading is not a picture.

**Q: Which keywords should I track?**
The ones that bring enquiries, even where the positions are less pleasant to look at.

## Check the terms that pay
It is easy to track the keywords you already rank for. The useful list is the one made of terms customers actually type.

## Keyword Rank Checker
Searching for your own terms in your own browser is the least reliable check available. Your history, your account and your position all shape what comes back, and none of that applies to a new customer.

A clean check from a set location gives you what somebody there would actually see. That is usually less flattering, and it is the number worth tracking.

## How to use it
- Enter the keyword and the site to check.
- Set the location to where your customers actually are.
- Read the surrounding results, not just your position.
- Recheck on a schedule rather than whenever you feel anxious.

## Why it matters
Rankings mean little as a single reading. Checked consistently from the same place over time they show direction, and direction is the only part you can act on.

## Questions people ask

### Why is my position different from what I see?
Your own results are personalised by history and location. A clean check removes both.

### How often should I check?
Monthly for most local businesses. Daily movement is normal and reacting to it causes more problems than it solves.

### What if I rank differently across town?
That is expected in local search. It is why a single point reading is worth less than a map.
