- It shows you where your content ranks compared to competitors
- It reveals search features you might be missing out on
- It analyzes page content to identify strengths and weaknesses
- It provides actionable recommendations to improve your rankings
- It gives you access to 100 results, not just the first page or two that you'd normally see

Content Analysis
The content analysis feature examines the top-ranking pages to identify patterns and success factors:

This analysis helps you understand what makes these pages successful so you can apply similar strategies to your own content.
Aggregate Analysis
The most powerful feature of SERPcheck is its ability to combine insights from multiple pages into a comprehensive analysis:
- After analyzing individual pages, SERPcheck automatically creates an "Aggregate Analysis"
- This analysis provides:
- Search intent and journey alignment across top pages
- Strengths comparison between competitors
- Content gap analysis
- Priority action plan
- Quick win checklist
- Content strategy recommendations
The aggregate analysis synthesizes all the individual page analyses into actionable insights, saving you hours of manual research and comparison.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Can I analyze more than 5 results at once?
Currently, SERPcheck limits content analysis to 5 non-excluded results to ensure thorough and timely processing. However, you can still view all 100 organic results in the results table.
The location I want isn't appearing in the dropdown. What should I do?
Type at least 3 characters of the location name in the search box. If it still doesn't appear, try searching for a nearby major city instead.
How often should I run SERPcheck for the same keyword?
For keywords that are important to your business, run SERPcheck monthly to track changes in rankings and content strategies. After making significant changes to your own content, wait 2-4 weeks before running SERPcheck again to allow search engines time to recrawl your page.
