How to Check Google Rankings in Another Country

By Keyword Position Checker. Updated October 26, 2026.

How do you check Google rankings in another country?

To check rankings in another country, request Google results for that country instead of searching from your own location. A rank checker with a country selector is simplest: enter the keyword and domain, pick the country, and read your position.

Option 1: a rank checker with a country setting

Open the free Keyword Position Checker, type your keyword and domain, choose one of 18 country markets and press Check rank. You get your position in the top 100, the page that ranks and the top 10 results for that country.

Results are not personalized, so they are closer to what a new visitor sees.

Option 2: Google Search Console

In the Performance report, add a Country filter. You will see average position, clicks and impressions for queries from that country. This only covers searches where you already appeared, and it averages over the date range. See Search Console vs a live check.

Option 3: manual checks

Manual checks with a changed Google region or a VPN work for a quick look at one keyword. Your browser, language settings and signed-in account still affect the results, so manual checks become unreliable and slow once you need several keywords or markets.

It is fine for one keyword, impractical for many.

Common mistakes

Four mistakes distort international rank checks. People check from home instead of the customer's country, ignore the search language, compare one country check with a worldwide Search Console average, and overlook local competitors that only appear in the target market.

• Checking only from where you live when customers are elsewhere.
• Forgetting language: an English page competes in English searches.
• Comparing a country check with a worldwide Search Console average.
• Ignoring local competitors who only appear in that market.
