How to Number Google Results in FireFox and Google Chrome

How to Number Google Results in FireFox and Google Chrome

We scan through Google Results daily, sometimes even hourly. Having Google results numbered helps a lot in understanding where your (or your competitor’s) page scores.

With Google changing its SERPs so often, it is essential to be aware of several tools that would number Google SERPs for you.

Understanding the Limitations

When you number Google results, you should know what to expect and what not. All of the browser addons and extensions that number Google results have a few limitations in common:

  • They all number indented results incorrectly: showing it going next to the main listing (which is not always true);
  • They all number universal (blended) search results which interferes in the normal SERPs order.

And of course, when numbering results (to check your positions) be sure to take into account the fact that your results are personalized (be sure to disable personalization).

Number Google Results: FireFox

There are a number of alternative addons and Greasemonkey scripts allowing you to number Google search results. My most recent discovery (which I was pleased to have found) is this script called Tuned Google SERPs.

The script fine-tunes Google search results in a number of ways including:

  1. Adding numbers to SERPs;
  2. Displaying Google “Text-only” link to each listing;
  3. Marking websites which you had placed to “linksUnderTheSupervision” list.

Numbering works pretty well:

  • Does numbering work with Google Instant on? – No
  • Does numbering work for more than 10 results (when you default up to 100 results per page)? – Yes!
