That\u2019s why it\u2019s super important to learn how to check Google rankings and we\u2019ll guide you step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Google Ranking?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Google ranking is a complex system that determines in which order websites appear on search engine results page (SERP) for specific keywords.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In simple terms, it\u2019s about two key things: which pages are showing up and which keywords they\u2019re ranking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if someone searches for a keyword related to your business, your Google ranking defines whether your page appears on the first page\u2014or way down on page six where hardly anyone looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The higher your position, the more likely people will visit your website. However, there are certain Google ranking factors<\/a>, which affect your position on search results. Knowing them can help you better understand how to optimize your website for SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know what Google ranking is, it\u2019s time to learn how to check website ranking in Google using three tools we\u2019ve personally tested and recommend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Essential Tools to Check Google Rankings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are the top three tools we recommend using to monitor Google ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Search Console<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of our favorite tools for checking Google rankings is Google Search Console (GSC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this tool? It\u2019s free and easy to use. All you need is to sign in to your GSC account and click on \u201cSearch Results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Google<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here you can see your website\u2019s average position on search results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under \u201cQueries,\u201d you can see which queries, aka, keywords your domain has been ranking for in the past 3 months (you can change the date range), their clicks, impressions, and average position. These could be both the keywords you have targeted and those you haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Google<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, click on \u201cPages\u201d to see all the pages of your website that rank and appear on search results, their clicks, impressions, and most importantly, average position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Google<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By clicking on a particular page, you can see what queries it ranks for and their average position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Note: You can choose filters, such as \u201cDate range\u201d or \u201cSearch type\u201d to gather more information about your site pages that rank on Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahrefs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ahrefs is one of the best SEO tools<\/a> we recommend using to check your Google rankings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how it works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Step 1: Sign in to your Ahrefs account <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Enter your domain in \u201cSite Explorer\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Click on \u201cKeywords\u201d to learn how many and which keywords your domain is ranking for, as well as their position on search results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

Step 4: However, if you wonder what keywords a particular web page ranks for, enter the link to a specific page into \u201cSite Explorer\u201d and choose \u201cExact URL.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\""Exact<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, check all the keywords the page is ranking for and their position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ahrefs<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: If you want to check the top pages of your website and their position, click on \u201cTraffic\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ahrefs<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: Use the \u201cCompare\u201d filter to see how today compares to the previous day or custom date. It helps you understand a particular page\u2019s position and traffic changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ahrefs<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, next time you run a website audit<\/a>, make sure to take these simple yet important steps to take to understand how your rankings change over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: If you are not ready to invest in paid plans, you can also try Ahrefs SERP checker <\/a>tool, which is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ahrefs'<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All you need is to type your keyword and learn if your page is ranking for that keyword and what position it\u2019s in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The better you know your rankings, the more you can focus on what works and what needs to be improved. Understanding rankings can be easier if you use an SEO glossary to learn all the key terms and concepts of the ranking tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEMrush<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SEMrush is another great tool we advise you to use to track Google ranking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do so, follow these easy steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Step 1: Sign in to your SEMrush account<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Enter your domain into \u201cDomain overview\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Head to \u201cTop Organic Keywords\u201d to see which keywords your root domain or exact URL is ranking for and check their position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Click on \u201cPosition changes\u201d to see the keywords with improved or declined positions in a specific timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
