SerpBear
Self-hosted Google rank tracker with keyword research, email alerts and a built-in API.
Track unlimited keywords and domains with alerts and Search Console data.
SerpBear tracks where your domains rank in Google and emails you when positions change. It suits site owners and small agencies who want unlimited keywords and will run a Docker container plus a scraping service.
What it is
It checks your keywords' positions by scraping Google through ScrapingAnt, ScrapingRobot, SearchApi, SerpApi, HasData or your own proxy IPs. It can also suggest keywords from your site content through a Google Ads test account.
Who it's for
It suits people comfortable with Docker who want rank history without a monthly SEO suite fee. It does not suit anyone who needs backlink data or site crawls, since the README lists neither.

Our honest verdict
What's great
- No keyword or domain cap, unlike per-plan tracked-keyword limits in hosted suites.
- Search Console integration shows actual visits and impressions beside positions.
- A built-in API lets you pull rankings into your own reports.
- Email alerts on daily, weekly or monthly schedules.
Where it falls short
- You must supply a paid scraper API or your own proxies to read Google results.
- You run and update the Docker container yourself.
- The README lists no backlink analysis or site audit.
