Find out where a website ranks in Google for the keywords you care about. Check any domain live, on desktop or mobile, with your own DataForSEO key, or sign in with Search Console to see your own site's average position, clicks and ranking page for every keyword.
The live check is free on this page; DataForSEO bills each search to your own account.
A free rank checker can answer two different questions. Search Console tells you how your own site has ranked on average for real searches over a period, with the clicks that came from it. A live SERP check tells you where any site ranks right now for one search, from one location and device. Pick the tab that fits what you want to know.
Paste the keywords you want to look up and open them in GSC Wizard. You sign in with Google, give read-only access to Search Console and pick the property. Your dashboard then opens filtered to those keywords, with their average position, clicks, impressions, the trend over time and the pages that rank for them.
Free for the 7-day trial, no credit card needed. After the trial you need a paid plan, from €17 a month, because there is no free plan for the web app.

Example data for a made-up site, last 28 days against the 28 days before. In the report you can change the period, filter by country or device, and open any keyword to see its daily position.
Enter a domain and up to 20 keywords, then pick the device, country and language. Each keyword is checked against Google's live results through your own DataForSEO account, and the table fills in as the answers come back: the position in the top 100, the URL that ranks and the full top 10.
No DataForSEO key added yet, so the table shows example data. Add your own key to check live rankings.

Your DataForSEO login stays in this browser: saved for next time, or only for this tab if you choose. The checks go straight from your browser to api.dataforseo.com and never pass through GSC Wizard. Positions count the organic results DataForSEO returns for the country, language and device you picked, so they can differ from what you see in your own browser, which Google personalises.
Track every keyword your site ranks for, every day
GSC Wizard stores your Search Console data daily and keeps it past Google's 16 months, so every keyword has a position history you can chart, filter and export. Free for the 7-day trial, no credit card needed. After the trial you need a paid plan, from €17 a month, because there is no free plan for the web app.
Searching for your keyword in your own browser is the least reliable way, because Google personalises results by location, language, device and search history. Even a private window still uses your location. There are two better ways, and this page does both.
The live tab is a keyword position checker for any domain, yours or a competitor's. It asks Google for the first 100 organic results for each keyword and reports the highest position where the domain appears, the URL that ranks, and the full top 10 so you can see who you are up against.
It runs on your own DataForSEO account. DataForSEO is a paid data provider that sells Google results by the request, and it charges per SERP task: every keyword on every device you check is one task. Their pricing page has the current rate, and the live tab shows how many tasks a run will create before you start it. GSC Wizard adds nothing on top and never sees your login.
For your own site, Search Console is the better source for Google SEO rankings, because it reflects real searches instead of one simulated one. It covers every query that brought your site an impression, not only the keywords you thought to check, and it adds clicks, impressions and CTR, so you can tell a position 3 that brings traffic from a position 3 nobody searches for.
The catch is that position is an average. Google takes the topmost position your site held in each search where it appeared and averages it over the period, so a keyword can show 8.2 without ever having been 8th. Use it to follow the trend and compare pages, not to quote one exact position.
A keyword position checker answers "where do I rank right now?" once. A keyword rank tracker answers it every day and keeps the history, so you can see when a page started to slide and line that up with an update or a site change.
The live tab on this page is a checker: run it whenever you want a fresh snapshot, and download the CSV to keep a record. For a keyword rank tracker on your own site, the Search Console tab is the better fit, because the history is already there.
GSC Wizard works as an online keyword rank tracker without a keyword list to maintain. It pulls your Search Console data every day, keeps it after Google drops it at 16 months, and shows the position of every keyword over time, split by page, country and device. Because the data comes from Search Console, there is no per-keyword cost and no cap on how many keywords you follow.
It also flags the keywords that moved, the pages that lost rankings and the keywords sitting in positions 4 to 20 that are worth a push. Free for the 7-day trial, no credit card needed. After the trial you need a paid plan, from €17 a month, because there is no free plan for the web app.
The live tab checks up to 20 keywords per run, two at a time, so a run usually finishes within a minute or two and you stay in control of what it costs. Run it again for the next 20. Paste keywords one per line; duplicates are removed before anything is sent.
The Search Console tab has no such limit. The keywords you paste are handed to GSC Wizard (up to 2,000 characters fit in the link), and the report itself lists every keyword your site has impressions for, often thousands, with sorting, filters and CSV export.
Search Console only shows data for properties you have access to, so for a competitor or a prospect the live tab is the way to check keyword ranking for a website. Enter their domain, the keywords, and the country and language their customers search in. The expanded top 10 for each keyword shows which pages outrank them and what kind of result Google prefers for that search.
The page is free and needs no sign-up. The live check uses your own DataForSEO account, which charges per SERP task, so you pay DataForSEO directly for each keyword you check and nothing to GSC Wizard. The Search Console mode opens GSC Wizard, which is free for the 7-day trial with no credit card needed. After the trial you need a paid plan, from €17 a month, because there is no free plan for the web app.
Because they measure different things. Search Console averages the topmost position your site held in every search where it appeared over the period, across all locations, devices and personalised results. The live check is one search, from one country, language and device, at one moment. An average of 7.5 and a live position of 4 can both be correct.
Up to 20 keywords per live run, checked two at a time. Run it again for more. In the Search Console mode there is no keyword limit: the report lists every keyword your site gets impressions for.
Only in your own browser. You choose whether it is saved for next time or kept only for this tab, and you can remove it with one click. The rank checks go straight from your browser to api.dataforseo.com, so your login never passes through GSC Wizard.
Each keyword on each device is one DataForSEO SERP task, billed to your DataForSEO account at their current rate, which their pricing page lists. The live tab shows how many tasks a run will create before you start it. Checking 20 keywords on desktop is 20 tasks.
Yes, with the live tab. It works for any domain, because it reads Google's public results. The Search Console mode only works for sites you have access to in Search Console.
For your own site, yes: GSC Wizard stores your Search Console data daily, so every keyword has a position history without a keyword list to maintain. The live tab on this page is a one-off check; download the CSV after each run if you want to keep a record.
