SERP Checker Tool
What Is the SERP Checker Tool?
Semrush’s free SERP Checker Tool lets you analyze the Google search results for your target keyword in a particular location.
Your own search results can be misleading, because they’re personalized to you. Which means you’ll get a better idea of what your prospects see with the SERP Checker.
Discover which pages rank highest. And what SERP features (non-standard results) appear.
So you can evaluate ranking opportunities, learn what searchers want, and optimize your content more effectively.
