Google Rank Checker

How To Use This Tool

Our free ranking checker tool can help you determine your website’s SEO ranking and find high-traffic keywords that will move you to the top of Google’s SERP results.

There are so many factors the Google algorithm considers when ranking your site. But, one thing we can guarantee is that incorporating high-traffic keywords on your pages will help move the needle.

All you have to do is enter a URL in the box above and hit “View Google Rankings.” You’ll get a comprehensive list of your keywords. Here is an example for “thehoth.com.”

This report will include hundreds of keywords. It’ll identify keyword ranking, search volume, how much traffic it’s driving to your page, and whether the keyword is trending up or down.

One of our favorite features is how you’ll be notified when a keyword’s ranking changes, whether it’s an increase or decrease from your last report. This is helpful for determining what keywords are working for your long-term strategy and others that may need to be replaced.

You can also export the full list as a CSV or PDF to save for later or drop into a report. Create a free HOTH account and your reports save automatically, so you can track how your keywords move over time.

We can also help you to add links to your site through HOTH Link Outreach. Backlinks from high-authority sites will boost your rankings. In fact, this is one of the best ways to rank higher. With this service, you get a white-label, in-content link through a guest blog published on another site. Our team of expert writers can produce the blog for you and The HOTH can get it published on a high-authority site.

Why keywords still matter

Google weighs a lot of signals when it ranks a page, but keywords are still one of the clearest. They tell search engines what your page is about, and they are how real people describe what they are looking for. If the terms your customers search for do not show up on your pages, you are much harder to find. This tool shows you which keywords you already rank for, so you know what is working and where your gaps are.

How accurate is our rank checker?

Your results come straight from live SEMrush ranking data, the same dataset a lot of professional SEOs rely on, so you are seeing real positions instead of rough estimates. Keep in mind that rankings move constantly and can vary by location and device, and that AI Overviews now sit above the classic results for plenty of queries. Re-run your check regularly and save your reports to a free HOTH account so you are watching the trend, not a single snapshot.

What to do after you check your rankings

Finding where you stand is step one. Here is how we turn that data into movement.

• Go after your page-two keywords first. They are your closest wins, so tighten the on-page SEO and content on those pages before anything else.
• Build authority with links. High-authority backlinks are still one of the biggest ranking levers we see. Our Link Outreach service earns you white-label, in-content links on real, high-authority sites.
• Fill your content gaps. Add the supporting pages and posts your competitors have that you do not, with HOTH Blogger and Web Copy.

It is all available individually inside your free HOTH account, so you order only what you need, when you need it.

Check the rest of your SEO while you are here

Rankings are one piece of the picture. Run your site through our Backlink Checker, size up your authority with the Domain Authority Checker, and compare your traffic against competitors with the Website Traffic Checker. They are all free in your HOTH account.
