  • The culprit is your location. Does your domain name end with a TLD or ccTLD? A TLD is something like .COM, .NET, etc. A ccTLD is something like .CO.UK, .ORG.UA, .US, etc.

    If it ends with a TLD, search for your keyword with a US VPN and while logged out of your Google account. You should see your real positions as reflected in Webmaster Tools.

    If it ends with a ccTLD, search for your keyword with a VPN in the country associated with your domain's ccTLD. For example, if it is a .CO.UK domain, use a UK VPN.

    • This is not really true. Take US rankings, for example. Rankings for a specific keyword in Pennsylvania might be totally different for rankings for that exact same keyword for someone searching in Nevada. Even in smaller countries, there is variation in search results within the same country.

      Even on page one, for some keywords there are a lot of fluctuations in rankings throughout a day. What you see at 10:00 a.m. might be different than what you see at 3:00 p.m.

      On top of location, there is also personalized search, which you cannot replicate.

      For the most part, rankings really should just be looked as a general guide.
