How it works
The Organic Ranking Checker queries our Keywords Everywhere ranking index and returns every keyword we know your target ranks for in Google's organic results for the country you choose, along with the current position and the estimated monthly traffic each keyword sends to your page.
Single mode processes one domain or URL synchronously and returns up to your plan's per-target keyword cap. Bulk mode queues up to 10 targets and processes them asynchronously, so you can keep working while the job runs.
Auto-detection. If you leave the type set to Auto, anything starting with http:// or https:// is treated as a specific URL; everything else is treated as a domain. You can override from the dropdown.
Optional search-volume enrichment. The base ranking data (keyword + position + estimated traffic) is free. Search volume, CPC, competition, and 12-month trend per keyword come from a credit-charging upstream, so they're hidden by default behind a Get Search Volume Data overlay on the results table. Paid plans confirm via a modal that quotes the credit cost up front and pay only their own account credits; free and anonymous visitors are routed to an upgrade page.
Plan caps. Per-target depth is capped by your plan (currently 500 keywords per target on the Free plan). Daily quota of 50 keywords is shared with the Keyword Gap Analysis tool.
Known limitations.
- Index lag. Our index refreshes regularly but not in real time. Very fresh ranking changes or extremely long-tail keywords may not appear until the next refresh.
- Per-keyword one URL. When you check a domain, only one ranking URL is returned per keyword (the best-ranking page on that domain). If you want to see which specific URL ranks for which keyword, that's the URL column.
- Estimated traffic is modeled. Computed from search volume times an expected click-through rate per position. Not actual analytics data.
What the columns mean
- Keyword
- The exact search query for which your target ranks somewhere in Google's top organic results. Click the row to deep-link this keyword into another of our tools (Backlinks Checker, Website Traffic Checker, Top Pages Finder).
- Position
- Current rank in Google's organic results for the keyword, in the country you selected. 1-3 is the top of page 1; 4-10 is the rest of page 1; 11-20 is page 2. Positions past 30 are generally low-traffic.
- Traffic
- Estimated monthly organic visits Google sends to your page from this keyword. Computed as search volume multiplied by the expected click-through rate at the current position. This is a model, not measured analytics.
- Search Volume (enrichment only)
- The keyword's average monthly search count in the country you selected. Empty until you click Get Search Volume Data.
- CPC (enrichment only)
- Cost per click as paid by Google Ads advertisers, in your account's native currency. A signal of commercial intent: high-CPC keywords tend to convert.
- Competition (enrichment only)
- Google's 0-1 score for advertising competition on the keyword. Higher means more advertisers are bidding for the keyword. A useful proxy for commercial intent and ranking difficulty, though not a direct ranking-difficulty score.
- 12-Month Trend (enrichment only)
- Sparkline of monthly search volume over the past 12 months. Click for a larger interactive chart. Useful for spotting seasonal keywords or topics in decline.
- Domains/URLs (bulk mode only)
- Which of your submitted inputs the row came from. Useful when filtering or sorting across a large bulk submission.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check Google rankings for my domain or URL?
Enter your domain (e.g. example.com) or a specific URL (e.g. https://example.com/post) in the box above, pick a country, and click Find Keywords. We return every keyword we know that target ranks for in Google's organic results for that country, along with the current position and the estimated monthly traffic Google sends to that page for that keyword. Bulk mode lets you check up to 1000 targets in one submission.
What does "organic ranking" mean?
Organic rankings are the unpaid results in Google's search results. They appear below any ads and are ordered by Google's ranking algorithm based on relevance, authority, and quality signals. A keyword "ranks" for your URL when Google has chosen to place that URL somewhere in the organic listings for that keyword. Position 1 is the top organic result; positions 11-20 are the second page.
Why don't I see search volume and CPC on every row?
The base ranking data is free, but search volume, CPC, competition, and 12-month trend come from a credit-charging upstream that's priced per keyword. To avoid surprising users, we show those four columns as empty by default and let you opt in via the Get Search Volume Data button on the results table. Paid plans confirm via a modal that quotes the credit cost up front; free and anonymous visitors get an upgrade pitch.
How is the estimated traffic per keyword calculated?
It's the keyword's monthly search volume multiplied by an expected click-through rate (CTR) for the position your URL holds. CTR drops sharply as position increases: position 1 typically captures 25-35% of clicks, position 5 around 5%, anything past position 10 below 1%. The numbers in the Traffic column are best-effort modeled estimates, not actual analytics data.
How accurate are organic ranking checkers?
Every ranking checker (including ours) uses an index that was crawled at some point in the past, not a live Google query at the moment you click. Our index refreshes regularly, but very fresh ranking changes or extremely long-tail keywords may not appear until the next refresh. For a single-keyword live SERP fetch use our SERP Checker instead. Treat ranking-checker data as a strong sample, not a real-time mirror.
How do I find the keyword position of my page?
Enter the page URL (not the domain) in single mode, pick the country you care about, and submit. We return every keyword that page ranks for, sorted by position by default. Each row shows the keyword, the current position in Google's organic results, the URL on your site that ranks (only one will be returned per keyword), and the estimated monthly traffic. Click any column header to re-sort.
What's the difference between checking a domain and checking a URL?
Checking a domain (e.g. example.com) returns every ranking keyword across every page on that host. Checking a URL (e.g. https://example.com/blog/post) restricts results to that specific page. Domain mode is useful for an overall picture; URL mode is useful when you want to understand exactly which keywords are sending traffic to one particular piece of content (e.g. for content refreshes or internal linking).
Is it free? Do I need an account?
The tool is free, with no signup required, for the base ranking data. Free and anonymous visitors share a per-day daily budget of ranking keywords. Paid Keywords Everywhere plans get larger daily budgets, larger per-target depth caps (up to 10,000 keywords per target), and pay only their own account's credits for the optional search-volume enrichment. The base lookup itself is free at every tier.
