Can I collect search results from a specific city?

Yes. ARC Basic, ARC Fast and ARC Ultra all take a _city- token alongside _country-, from a published list of metros in twelve countries. That puts the request on an exit in the metro, which is what local packs and map results respond to.

Which plan is right for rank tracking?

ARC Basic for most of it. Rank tracking is high-volume and low-weight, and the rotating ISP pool carries city targeting at our lowest price per GB. Keep ARC Fast for markets or result types where the ISP pool gives you failures you cannot explain.

Do you offer a SERP API that returns parsed results?

No. We sell the proxy bandwidth and the exit IPs; the fetching and parsing are yours. Our API covers the account — balance, usage, orders and generating endpoints — rather than scraping on your behalf. That is a deliberate split: you keep control of the parser, and you are not paying for someone else's.

How do I keep results unpersonalised?

Collect logged out, do not carry cookies between runs, and let the username rotate so each new connection can draw a different exit. The exit country and city then become the main variables, which is what makes two runs comparable.

Does a failed or blocked result page still cost me?

Only the bandwidth it used. Billing is per gigabyte of traffic rather than per request or per successful parse, so retries are a bandwidth line rather than a per-call fee.

Proxies for SEO and SERP monitoring

Search results are personalised and localised before anything else happens. Collect them from a residential or ISP address in the city you are reporting on, logged out, so the ranking you publish is the one a searcher there would see.

The problem

What goes wrong without the right IPs

Your office IP has a search history

Results are shaped by location and prior behaviour. A rank collected from the agency's own connection is a rank for the agency, not for the client's market.

City matters more than country

Local packs, map results and service-area listings differ between Munich and Hamburg, let alone between countries. Country-level collection misses the results the client actually competes in.

Rank tracking is daily and never stops

Thousands of keywords, every day, per market, per device. The cost per check is the whole business model, which is why the price per gigabyte decides what coverage you can sell.

A throttled run reports a phantom drop

When collection degrades, rankings appear to fall. You then spend a morning explaining a graph that describes your own pipeline rather than the client's visibility.

Language and region are separate variables

The interface language, the result language and the exit country are three different things. Getting one wrong produces a report that looks plausible and is not comparable to last week's.

Setup

Recommended setup

Rank tracking lives or dies on price per check, so start cheap and escalate only where a run actually fails.

Plan	Role	Session	Targeting	Price
ARC Basic Rotating ISP	Default for volume rank tracking City targeting at our lowest price per GB. A result page is small, and at daily cadence across thousands of keywords this is what makes the coverage affordable.	Rotating	Country + city	€0.75 / GB €0.59 at 1 TB (−21%)
ARC Fast Rotating residential	For rendered results and stubborn markets Real residential exits for results that need a consumer IP to render the way a searcher sees them, still with city-level targeting.	Rotating, sticky where a flow needs it	Country + city	€2.00 / GB €1.12 at 1 TB (−44%)
ARC Ultra Premium residential	For the client reports that carry the account Premium residential where a missed run is a client conversation. Route the keyword sets that matter most rather than the whole book.	Rotating	Country + city	€3.50 / GB €2.17 at 1 TB (−38%)

What 5,000 keywords, daily, in three markets costs

An illustration with round numbers — your pages, payloads and retry rate will differ. The arithmetic is the real price ladder.

Assumptions

Keywords: 5,000
Markets: 3 cities
Cadence: once a day
Result page weight: 250 KB, assets blocked
Bandwidth per month: ≈ 113 GB

On ARC Basic

€76.84per month, excl. VAT

113 GB bought in one purchase at €0.68 / GB (−9% volume rung, applied automatically).

The same 113 GB on ARC Fast: €153.68 at €1.36 / GB. Route only the jobs that need it through the pricier pool.

That is 450,000 result pages a month. Blocking images, fonts and analytics on the result page is the single biggest lever on this number — a rendered SERP with assets is several times the weight assumed here.

Bandwidth never expires, so a bigger single purchase is only ever cheaper per GB. See the ladder.
