Best Software for checking Domain Keyword Rankings?

Hey guys!

Whats the best / most accurate software for checking your websites keyword rankings?

I've been using Ahrefs, but its so far off and some of the keywords it has me ranking for don't even show up on Google.

I just tried Moz yesterday and it seems to be a bit more accurate.

Can someone give me some more insight on this?

Google Search Console will always be the most accurate. if you're looking for something to track keywords at a glance, Serprobot is very good and reasonably priced.

Do you already know the keywords you want to check the rank for or do you want to find out the keywords your site is ranking for?
To track keywords (only a few cents per day) I often use rankinity.
To find out keywords the website is ranking for - ubersuggest and SEO SpyGlass Rank Tracker (both free) are alright.
Besides Google Search Console and the two (ahrefs and moz) you are testing yourself, the next big one would be SEMrush.

To track your keywords reliable you have to be aware which search engine and location you are using. Maybe the results ahrefs shows you are right, but because of your search history the algorithm shows you a different order.

My tip: never trust just one tool.

Semrush is good for keyword rankings, ahrefs is good for Link build

Yeah, I've been hearing similar responses.

GSC and Semrush would be good alternatives over Ahrefs and Moz. I would like to agree with one comment here to not trust on a single tool alone.

Semrush is ideal to track down kws for which particular site ranks for.

I got more keywords under semrush than ahref. Its my experience
