Local SERP analysis
Ahrefs’ SERP Checker tool lets you see search results from any location, without using proxies and location-specific IP addresses.
Search results differ widely depending on the location you search from. Use our tool to pull and analyze SERPs from 243 countries.
Evaluate ranking difficulty
Ranking difficulty varies by country because it depends on the top-ranking pages of each local SERP.
Ahrefs' SERP Checker gives you an accurate ranking difficulty score and detailed SEO stats for the top 10 search results. This lets you see the whole picture and make informed decisions.
For every top-ranking page, we show you backlink metrics to help you gauge the competition and understand the ranking difficulty of a keyword:
- Domain Rating (DR) shows you how strong the backlink profile of a website is. The higher the DR, the more authoritative the link is.
- URL Rating (UR) shows you the backlink profile strength of a specific URL. This metric has the highest correlation with rankings.
- Backlinks count — shows you the number of inbound links pointing to a URL.
- Domains count is where you can see the number of unique referring domains that point to a URL.
Ahrefs boasts the largest backlink database in the industry. This, coupled with our proprietary processing powers, help ensure that our backlink stats and SEO metrics are accurate.
Analyze organic search traffic
Ahrefs' SERP Checker shows you how much organic search traffic the top results get from all the keywords they rank for.
Once you know which pages on the SERPs get the most traffic, you can analyze them in Site Explorer to replicate their success.
This traffic estimate data is exclusive to our SERP Checker. You won't find it in any similar tool.
SERP position history
Some SERPs are solid as a rock, so it's extremely hard to outrank the top results. But some are more dynamic, which means you have a chance to rank in the top (or even get #1).
SERP Checker includes "SERP position history", which lets you see historical rankings of the current top 5 pages. Based on their historical ranking patterns, you can guess whether the search engine is satisfied with the SERP and won't let anything new in, or if it'll be happy to promote other relevant pages to the top to see what happens.
Cross-integration with Ahrefs tools
To make your SERP analysis more immersive, we've integrated SERP Checker into several Ahrefs tools.
