Google & Bing Rank Tracker — SERP Position Tracking

Track where your domains rank on Google and Bing for any keywords. Get the position, URL, and title for every match — with subdomain matching. Supports up to 100 results per keyword. One row per ranking, clean JSON out.

Why use this rank tracker

• Google + Bing. Track rankings on both search engines from one actor. Run "both" to compare.
• Subdomain matching. Track example.com and it matches shop.example.com, blog.example.com, and any subdomain automatically.
• Up to 100 positions. Scan deep into the SERP — not just the top 10.
• Full SERP export. Optionally push every organic result (not just matches) for full SERP analysis.
• Structured output. Clean flat rows — keyword, engine, position, domain, URL, title — ready for spreadsheets or databases.

Overview

This actor searches Google and/or Bing for your keywords, parses the organic results, and finds where your target domains rank. Each output row is a single ranking result: the keyword, the search engine, the position, the ranking domain/URL/title, and which target domain it matched.

---

Use cases

• SEO rank tracking — monitor where your site ranks for target keywords over time.
• Competitor analysis — track competitor domains alongside your own.
• SERP auditing — export full SERPs to see who ranks for any keyword.
• Multi-engine comparison — compare Google vs Bing rankings side by side.
• Local SEO — use the location param to track geo-targeted Google results.

How it works

1. You provide keywords and target domains.
2. The actor fetches the SERP for each keyword on each search engine.
3. It parses the organic results (position, title, URL, domain).
4. It matches each result against your target domains (with subdomain support).
5. Each match becomes one row in the dataset.

FAQ

Does Google work without residential proxies? Google may serve a JS challenge to datacenter IPs. Use Apify's residential proxy pool (the default) for reliable Google results. Bing works with datacenter IPs.

How does subdomain matching work? If you track example.com, the actor matches example.com, www.example.com, shop.example.com, blog.example.com, and any other subdomain. You don't need to list every subdomain.

Can I track competitors? Yes — pass multiple domains in targetDomains. Each result row shows which target domain it matched.

Can I export the full SERP? Yes — set onlyMatching: false to push every organic result, not just matches.

How many keywords can I track? As many as you need. The actor fetches one SERP per keyword per engine, with a polite delay between requests.
