Different regions have different search results. For example, searchers in New York get different results for the keyword "plumber" than people in San Francisco.
The Ranking Monitor checks your rankings in 169 countries and languages. You can check your local rankings from all locations that are also supported by Google.
We're continually updating the locations that are supported. We added 2,249 new locations with the latest update.

Your local SEO rank tracking solution
Local rank tracking is is important if you have a brick and mortar business. Your website must be found for searches that are done by potential customers in the area where your business is located.
The Ranking Monitor in SEOprofiler enables you to track your rankings on city-level. You can specify the exact location from which your rankings should be checked (cities, zip codes, airports, etc.). If you do business in multiple locations, you can track all the locations in one campaign.
Local results tracking for businesses without websites
Google also shows businesses that do not have a website in the local results.
The Ranking Monitor monitor enables you to track the positions of these businesses in the search results, even if Google does not show a website address.
Just enter the business name and the Ranking Monitor will take care of it. It’s really easy.
