Why Does LemRank Show Different Rankings Than Google?

Frequently asked questions
How do I check the "real" ranking myself?
Open an incognito window, sign out, and use a VPN matching the tracked country. Even then expect small differences due to real-time SERP flux.
Which is right — LemRank or what I see?
Neither is "wrong". LemRank is the neutral, comparable-over-time measurement. Your logged-in view is what you personally experience. Both are valid; they answer different questions.
Should I trust the LemRank number?
Yes for trend and comparison ("is this keyword climbing?", "how do I rank vs competitor X?"). Absolute snapshot ranking always has ±1-2 position noise on any tool.
