Your place in Google's results for a keyword decides how many people find you.

Enter the keyword you care about and the website to look for. The tool searches Google for that keyword, looks through the top 100 results for your site, and tells you its position, the page that ranks and the first results on the page.

The search is made from the United States, in English, and the position is the one Google showed at that moment. Results move through the day and differ between places, so compare checks made the same way. A check usually takes 5 to 20 seconds, and to keep the tool free for everyone, a check that someone ran in the last 12 hours is shown again.

If your site is not in the top 100, the tool says so and still shows who holds the first places. A free trial shows all ten results on page one, the other pages of your site that rank for the keyword, the special blocks such as featured snippets and People also ask, any of 29 countries and a city, and lists of keywords from a CSV upload.

A ranking is one view of your search presence, and traffic and news are two more.

To see how many visits a site gets from all its rankings together, use the free website traffic checker. To see whether interest in your keyword is rising or fading, use the free search trends checker.

A rank check returns these fields, and each one answers a different question.

This is an invented result for a made-up website, laid out the way a real one comes back. The position and the first results are free on this page, and a free trial opens the rest.

Read the position and the first results
