Google results differ by country, city and even neighbourhood. Rank tracking from a single location produces numbers that do not match what your client sees, and repeated automated queries from one IP hit a CAPTCHA fast.
SERP pages are light, roughly 320 KB HTML-only, so rank tracking is one of the cheapest workloads to run at scale.
The three things that break Google jobs
CAPTCHA on repeat queries
Rotate per query and keep per-IP rates low.
Location-shaped results
City targeting for local pack and map results.
