Proxies for SEO monitoring

Search results depend on the searcher's location. To see what a customer in another country or city sees, the query has to come from there.

What this is for

• Checking how pages rank for local queries in markets you do not sit in.
• Comparing results between countries or cities during a launch.
• Reviewing how local results and snippets look for your own brand.

How to set it up

Target the country in the proxy username with -country-DE. For city-level checks, add the state and city codes from the dashboard. Rotating IPs suit batches of independent queries. Use a sticky session only when you need several pages of results from one address.

Keep it reasonable

Query volume is what drives both traffic and trouble. Check what you need at the frequency you need, respect the terms of the services you query, and pace your requests. Our acceptable use policy forbids work that harms a target service.

Estimate the traffic

Result pages can be heavy once scripts and images are included. Fetching only the HTML cuts traffic substantially. The bandwidth calculator turns your query plan into GB, and pricing shows what that costs.
