Appearing in the Google Search results is very important these days but it is not that easy. The competition is very high and your pages need to rank with the right keywords.

Finding if you are ranking with the right keywords is very difficult. You need to take every keyword and test it against a search, then look for your site in the search results list. However, Google blocks scripts that scrape the search result pages.

Fortunately there is an official API from Google that lets you search for certain keywords and you can use it from PHP or any other language.

Read this article to learn how to use the Google Search API from PHP to automate searches and find your site in the results.
