Cloaking check

Paste the address of a page that ranks for your brand. We open it as a regular visitor, as a visitor coming from Google, as a search engine crawler and from Google's own network — and tell you whether it shows the same thing to everyone.

Free. Up to three checks a day per visitor. A check takes about a minute.

What this check can and cannot see

Content served only to the real Googlebot's own IP addresses shows up indirectly, through Google's own snippet: a probability, not proof. Nobody can request a page from those addresses except Google itself.

For a disputed page we run a check by the real Googlebot on request. Write to us with the address.

Monitoring instead of a one-off check

Serpward watches Google results for your brand every day, records each page it finds, checks it for cloaking and files the takedown with the evidence attached.
