Where does my page actually rank?

Q: Where does my page actually rank?

the live page, not what the tool says about it use monid to pull the live google results for with litescrape, and give me the organic results with their urls. if you want what the ai overview cites, call the dedicated ai-overview endpoint as well: the search response carries the overview text and not one of its links the page: nine organic results, HubSpot first and Mailgun second the absence: neither the subject domain nor its competitor is anywhere in the top nine the overview has no links: the search response does carry an ai overview block, and on a second keyword it held text, snippets and highlights with zero urls in it; the citations come from a separate endpoint at the same price, which returned nine references ten is not on offer: asking for ten results returned eight, and asking for a hundred returned the same eight, so write the sentence around what is on the page rather than a count the comparison: the cheapest paid endpoint that answers this is $0.06 a result, 400x the price

>check the live google results for <keyword> with monid and tell me my domain's actual position, then compare it to the position my seo tool reports. read the positions off page one only: asking for the second page renumbers its rows from one, so a domain at 14 reports as 4

the snapshotthe paid keyword list puts the domain at position 1

the live pagethe same day, the results page puts it at position 2, behind another vendor

what it costthe check that caught it was a hundredth of a cent

it can be worse than a gapon a second domain the paid report said position 1 and the live page did not contain the domain anywhere in eighteen results; it was on the page, cited inside the ai overview rather than ranked

the paging traprequesting the second page returns positions numbered one to ten rather than eleven to twenty, so an agent that pages until it finds you will report a number that is ten too small

the lessona rank in a paid report is a claim about the past; run the query before you act on it

the readdifficulty 0 against a $7.00 click is the shape of a keyword worth writing for

related terms$0.198 for three, and two of them were noise at 1.9M a month

the gotchathe response says 700 for the CPC, which is cents, not dollars, and the unit appears nowhere in the endpoint's own schema

it is one provider's rulethis divide-by-a-hundred applies to this provider only; another in the same aisle returns decimal dollars as a string, and applying the same rule there under-reports by a hundred times

and it disagrees with itselfon a second keyword two of this provider's own endpoints returned a CPC of 1000 and 988 and a volume of 75,000 and 93,000, so quote the endpoint as well as the number

the shapebrand terms dominate the traffic, which the backlink count alone would hide

the trap is the defaultthe row limit defaults to a hundred, so one call with no limit set bills $7.20 at the measured $0.072 a row; the limit also caps at a hundred, so a thousand rows is ten calls and $72

and the date is requiredthis endpoint and the backlink one both list date as required with no default, which is why the sentences here pass today's; leave it out and the first paste errors

Which pages carry the site
