How I Automated Local SEO Checks Across Multiple Cities with a Simple API Call

Improved Body

I've been experimenting with geo-specific SEO analysis lately, and one of the biggest challenges has been getting accurate local search results without constantly switching VPNs or changing locations manually.

Recently, I started testing SERPSpur's Local Search Spoofing Tool, which lets you view search results by country, city, region, and language. It made it much easier to compare rankings across different locations and spot gaps in local SEO campaigns.

Here's a quick example:

curl "https://serpspur.com/tool/local-search-spoofing-tool/?keyword=hotel&country=FR&city=Paris&language=fr"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This returns search results as if the query was made from Paris, France. I've been using it to compare rankings across multiple European cities and identify where localized content needs improvement.

A few use cases where it's been helpful:

  • Local SEO audits
  • Multi-location rank tracking
  • International SEO testing
  • Competitor research by region

How are you handling location-based SERP testing? Are you using VPNs, proxies, or dedicated SEO tools?

Interesting approach — have you noticed any discrepancies between the spoofed results and what you'd see using a VPN or physically searching from Paris? I'm curious how accurate the geolocation simulation is for smaller cities or less common languages.
