SerpBear - Free self-hosted SERP Monitoring App

m4nu

This kind of service is generally quite expensive and anyone doing online marketing needs it. So I was quite happy to see someone made a self-hosted app, SerpBear, for it. Found out via Jeremy's Noted.lol newsletter.

Of course it's also available on PikaPods, if you still have some credits left from my free beta program. (Or use the free starting credit)

Hope this is useful to some LETers. Since this app is pretty new, they could also use testing, feedback and maintainers. Github here.

Will keep that in mind. Thanks for sharing!

I saw this the other day!
Looks very cool, any idea how if you can use a different (from the ones mentioned) proxy service or roll your own?

You can pass any (HTTP?) proxy details. I'm assuming this will scrape Google directly. Tried one, but didn't work for me. Maybe another proxy works. I imagine Google will block them if they see unusual traffic.

This looks very good, giving it a try at the moment and works really well with fly.io.

You'd realistically need a rotating mobile proxy.
