Cheap proxies for SEO and rank tracking
Search results depend on where the searcher is. Proxies let you see the page a visitor in another city or country sees, without travelling.
Worked budget: about 5 GB of result-page traffic in a month. On the cheap residential proxies line that comes to $23.00 at list price. This is an illustration from your own assumptions, not a measurement of any workload.
What SEO teams use proxies for
Local and national rank checks, verifying how your listings appear in other markets, auditing hreflang and geo-redirects, and spot-checking competitors’ localised pages.
Residential for results pages
Search engines are quick to challenge datacenter ranges, so results pages are where residential proxies earn their price. Rank trackers fetch a lot of small pages, so traffic adds up more slowly than people expect.
For auditing your own site or crawling pages that do not block hosting ranges, a datacenter line costs less.
Work out the budget first
A results page is a few hundred kilobytes with images blocked. Multiply keywords by locations by check frequency, then by the page size you measured. The estimator on this site turns gigabytes into a price.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a proxy for every location?
