Proxies got very expensive and most regular data center proxies get banned fast by Google.
What’s the cheapest solution to run GSA?
I just want to use them for scraping in gsa keyword research.
Or is a proxy with rotating ip after each request better this days,?

For GSA keyword research you don't need expensive residential — semi-dedicated datacenter proxies with a pool of 50+ rotate fast enough for Google. Webshare or Proxy-Cheap are solid at $3-5/mo, only step up to IPRoyal residential if Google keeps hammering your scrapes consistently. Rotating per-request only helps if your pool is actually large, otherwise you're just cycling through the same 10 burned IPs which changes nothing.
 
I will recommend mobile proxies as are high quality and you can rotate them to create more accounts..... i mean make sure the seller offer rotating proxy options
 
For GSA scraping you don’t really need expensive proxies. Datacenter is still the cheapest option, but yeah, they get blocked more often. Rotating residential can work better for scraping since IP changes reduce blocks, but it costs more. If you’re just doing keyword scraping, rotating proxies usually make more sense than static. Main thing is not pushing too many requests per IP. You can check Mango Proxy as one of the options, worth testing

mobile proxys wont be cheap. infact quite expensive for gsa .
 
if you're only doing keyword research in GSA you can skip proxies entirely and just plug in a scraping API like ScraperAPI or Scrapingbee, they handle the rotation and captchas for you. works out cheaper than buying a big proxy pool just to scrape google.
 
I am a big fan of GSA company as I call myself. I am a heavy user of GSA Search Engine Ranker. I own more than 10 GSA SER licenses and 8 out of 10 copies are being used. After I forgot to renew my other 2 servers, I still couldn't set up the other 2 anyway. I totally stopped using GSA Captcha Breaker and Keyword Researcher. GSA CB replaced with Xevil and keyword research replaced with Ahrefs free webmaster, and I'm no more concerned about specifically keyword tools after the AI era as we can automate the whole part. That being said, if you still want to use it, and for proxies, try out Rayobyte proxies. I don't use keyword research since I still scrape Google here and there. I use their proxies and it seems to work. Make sure to run one thread per proxy with decent HTML timeout.
 
i think private proxies work best for gsa, public ones get banned very fast and not stable, some ppl also use residential for scraping but for posting datacenter works fine, main thing is good rotation and clean ips otherwise success rate drops a lot
 
For GSA scraping only, rotating residential or mobile proxies usually last much longer now than cheap shared datacenter proxies.
 
reproxy 50 thread ipv4 = 8$

GSA can run 40 thread or 30 thread

i just test this over 24 hour, that's cool.
 
Depends on the volume you'll work with. If you're doing a lot of scraping, getting blocked is almost unavoidable regardless of proxy type (huge asterisks here but broad strokes since a lot of factors affect that, obviously some proxies will have an easier time compared to others when it comes to that.)
For keyword research specifically, rotating proxies are generally good vs trying to hammer requests through a small pool of static datacenter IPs.
Anyway, the cheapest is usually not the ideal solution if it means constantly running into blocks, captchas, etc. Food for though.
 
Please try mobile proxies and high-quality proxies never get for cheap
 
For GSA keyword research specifically (Google scraping, not posting) — rotating datacenter proxies are fine if you do them right: minimum 1000-IP pool, 1 request per IP per minute max, randomized User-Agent + Accept-Language per request. Storm Proxies and ProxyEmpire rotating pools at ~$50/mo handle this without bans. Per-request rotation is overkill for GSA's request rate and adds CAPTCHA churn — you want sticky-ish sessions of 5-10 requests per IP before rotation. For GSA SER posting you need a completely different tier (mobile or residential), but for scraping/keyword work, cheap rotating DC is still alive in 2026.
 
Based on my modest experience, rotating residential proxies are the best choice
 
answer depends on which engines u have enabled, ppl miss this.
article/wiki/social = private dc fine, buyproxies $2/proxy, 30-50 of them, threads per proxy = 3 NOT default 10. anything higher burns ips in hours.
blog comments/trackbacks = 60% behind cloudflare now, dc dead. residential rotating only, sticky session 5-10min not per-request (per-request breaks csrf mid-submit).
two settings that doubled my LPM: pause project after 50 unverified submits (default infinite = burns proxy bandwidth on dead targets), and run xevil local + capmonster fallback together not just one (single solver skips ~30% of solvable captchas).
also rotate the proxy list itself every 24-48hrs even with private ips. cloudflare fingerprints by connection volume per ip over time, not just ip identity. swap list = LPM jumps back. saw mine drop 60→15 over a week before figuring this out.

This thread is about GSA keyword research mate, not ranker. ppl (or bots) miss this
 
For keyword scraping I'd still stick with datacenter unless Google is giving you trouble every single time.
Rotating helps, but only if the pool is actually large enough. Cycling through the same handful of IPs usually doesn't change much
 
For keyword research and scraping, rotating residential or mobile proxies generally tend to be more reliable than static datacenter proxies, but they're usually more expensive.
