Google ranks differently by city, by device and by ISP. A rank tracker that does not target geography returns numbers no real user sees. Tier-1 residential proxies with city and ASN US targeting reproduce a specific metro's SERP — local-pack, knowledge panel, ads and organic — so rank tracking matches what searchers actually experience. Unlimited bandwidth keeps the bill flat on catalogue-scale keyword sweeps.
Google's anti-bot stack is the most sophisticated on the open web. Three patterns kill naive SERP scrapers within minutes.
Google flags known datacenter ASNs the moment a few automated queries arrive in sequence. Residential IPs from real consumer ISPs do not trip the same signal because the traffic pattern matches normal browser use.
"plumber near me" returns a different local-pack in Dallas vs Boston vs Phoenix. Without city-level targeting, an SEO tracker conflates rankings across geographies and produces numbers that do not match any single market.
Google's ads auction and SERP-feature display vary by ASN class. ASN-level routing on Platinum lets a tracker pin a session to a residential ISP and reproduce ad placements consistently.
A daily 100k-keyword sweep with full SERP payloads runs into hundreds of GBs a month. Unlimited residential bandwidth on Budget Unlimited caps the bill flat regardless of keyword volume.
Multi-page SERP capture breaks if the IP rotates between pages — Google reorders results. Sticky sessions up to 60 hours hold the same IP through a paginated keyword.
Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yandex (RU) and Baidu (CN) work through the same proxy URL. Yandex and Baidu in particular need country targeting to return their native SERP rather than a non-local degradation.
Default for accurate rank tracking and local-pack monitoring. Tier-1 ISP residential with city, state and ASN US targeting. The only plan that reproduces metro-specific SERPs reliably.
Default for catalogue-scale keyword sweeps. Unlimited bandwidth, port-based pricing, 70+ countries. Right fit when nightly 100k+ keyword sweeps would dominate per-GB pricing.
Higher-throughput unlimited pool for rank trackers and SEO platforms running 1 Gbps+ aggregate. US-region rotating routes.
For high-RPS search scrapers where unit cost matters more than residential fingerprint and the SERP source is less anti-bot-strict (Bing, DDG).
# Python — capture a city-targeted Google SERP via Platinum import httpx # cc-us-city-austin pins the session to a US/Austin-resident IP proxy = "http://YOUR_USER-cc-us-city-austin-session-kw_42:[email protected]:20228" with httpx.Client(proxy=proxy, timeout=30) as c: r = c.get( "https://www.google.com/search", params={"q": "plumber near me", "hl": "en", "num": "20"}, headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 ..."}, ) print(r.status_code, len(r.text)) # local-pack reflects Austin
Google detects and CAPTCHA-walls datacenter IPs almost instantly under automated load. Residential proxies look like normal Chrome traffic from a home connection — what Google's anti-bot pipeline lets through. Without residential rotation, a SERP scraper from a datacenter IP collapses within minutes.
Google ranks differently for users in different cities, on different devices and on different ISPs. An SEO tracker that ignores geography returns numbers no real user sees. City/ASN targeting reproduces the metro-specific SERP for accurate local-pack and rank monitoring.
At small volume, Platinum at $3/GB is the most cost-effective. At catalogue scale (100k+ keywords/day), Budget Unlimited from $51.99/mo on unlimited port-based pricing wins because the bill caps regardless of keyword volume.
Yes. The same proxy URL works against Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yandex and Baidu. Country targeting matters for Yandex (RU) and Baidu (CN) where SERPs differ sharply from a non-local IP. Mobile is the right pool for Baidu specifically.
Yes. Standard HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 with user:pass or IP-whitelist auth. Use with Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer, headless Chrome, googlesearch-python or any framework taking a proxy URL.
Platinum supports 10,000 concurrent connections at 100 req/s by default. With 90M+ IPs in rotation, each IP issues a small number of Google queries per hour — well within Google's tolerance threshold.
