Yes. Every tool listed on Rankests is free to use. There are no hidden charges for standard tool usage. We may introduce optional premium features in the future, but our core toolset will always remain free and accessible to everyone.

Rankests was built and is maintained by Kester Terna, a digital entrepreneur based in Abuja, Nigeria, with a focus on helping small business owners and website managers improve their SEO without needing to pay for expensive software.

Our tools pull data directly from live sources including search engines, DNS records, and website servers in real time. While no SEO tool can guarantee complete accuracy due to how search engines constantly update their algorithms, we strive to keep our data sources current and reliable.

You can check any publicly accessible website using our tools, including competitor websites. This is especially useful for our backlink checker, domain authority checker, and competitor analysis tools, which are designed for comparing your site against others in your niche.

Search rankings vary based on location, device, search history, and real-time algorithm updates. Our keyword position checker provides a general indication of rankings, while Google Search Console reflects your specific account's data. Both are useful but may show slightly different numbers.

We recommend running a full website audit at least once a month. Websites change constantly, with new content, plugin updates, and theme changes, and regular audits help you catch new issues before they affect your traffic or rankings.

Yes. We do not store the websites or keywords you check unless explicitly stated on a specific tool page. Our tools process your request and return results without retaining your personal browsing or search data. Read our full Privacy Policy for complete details.

This is usually caused by a temporary issue with the target website being slow to respond, or a high volume of requests on our end. Try again after a few minutes. If the issue persists on a specific tool, please contact us so we can investigate.
