Should I choose proxies or VPN for SEO monitoring?
Unlike VPNs, proxies are built for SEO monitoring at scale. A VPN routes all your device traffic through a single IP address, and is designed for personal privacy – not data collection. Our proxies, on the other hand, rotate through 125M+ IPs, handle unlimited concurrent sessions, and offer precise location targeting, allowing you to monitor search results across multiple regions without CAPTCHAs or blocks.
What is SERP scraping?
SERP scraping is extracting data from search engine results pages. Data points include URLs, titles, meta descriptions, rankings, and other key SEO data. SERP scraping is how SEO teams automate rank tracking, spot keyword opportunities, and monitor search visibility without manually checking results across hundreds of queries.
Is SERP scraping legal?
Yes, it’s legal to scrape search engine result pages for public data, but only within the limits of the website’s terms of service. When in doubt, consult a legal expert before scraping data.
Why use a SERP monitoring solution?
A SERP monitoring solution helps you see what your customers see across different devices, locations, and search terms. With scalable monitoring, you can track keyword rankings accurately, analyze featured snippets and rich results, spot algorithm changes as they happen, and identify local SEO gaps. Scraping APIs and residential proxies make it easy to automate this process without getting blocked or throttled.
How to use proxies in SEO tools?
Check the proxy integration guide of your SEO tool for the specifics, but the general setup process involves:
Choosing the right proxy type. We recommend using residential proxies for the best geo-targeted SERP results, or datacenter proxies for high-speed keyword audits.
Enter your proxy credentials. Copy the endpoint URLs with username and password authentication from the dashboard into your SEO tool.
Test your SERP scraping request. Check if your proxy is working as intended under your custom configuration before deploying at full scale.
What's the difference between proxies and Web Scraping API for SERP monitoring?
Proxies handle the infrastructure – IP rotation, geo-targeting, and traffic routing – but you still need to write the scraping logic yourself. Web Scraping API is a complete solution: it uses proxies as the foundation but also manages them for you, bypasses CAPTCHAs, renders JavaScript, and outputs structured data.
Does location matter when targeting local SEO?
Absolutely. Search results change based on country, city, and even ZIP code. Monitoring from the wrong location gives you inaccurate data. Geo-targeted proxies solve that problem by letting you pull search results from the exact regions, showing you what local users actually see.
Can I target specific locations with SERP monitoring?
Yes, Decodo covers 195+ locations with targeting down to ZIP code level. Combine your solutions with our residential proxies or use our Web Scraping API to pull search results from a city or neighborhood to get precise, localized data for SEO monitoring, ad verification, or market analysis.
How to scrape Google search results?
The most efficient and user-friendly way of scraping Google is with Decodo's Web Scraping API. Here’s how:
Choose a pricing plan that fits your needs, or claim your 7-day free trial under Scraping APIs → Pricing.
If you chose a Core plan, under Web Core, set your scraping parameters from scratch and click Send request. If you went with an Advanced plan, you can select a ready-made Google template to save you time on setting up and sending your request.
With that, you’ve just sent a scraping request in just a few minutes.
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes, we offer a 3-day free trial with 100MB for residential proxies, or a 7-day free trial with 1,000 requests for our Web Scraping API. Simply sign up to get an account, pick the free trial option on the pricing page, and you’re ready to go.
