Local Search Engines Package¶
The Local Search Engines Package is a downloadable SQL data file that extends SEO Panel’s built-in search engine list with over 100 country-specific local variants of Google, Yahoo and Bing. Once imported, all SEO Panel tools that use search engines — including the Rank Checker, Keyword Position Checker and Search Engine Saturation checker — can target any of the added local markets.
This package is ideal for businesses and agencies managing SEO for multiple countries or regions, allowing you to track keyword rankings on the exact local search engine your target audience uses.
What It Does¶
By default, SEO Panel ships with only three search engines: google.com, yahoo.com and www.bing.com. The Local Search Engines Package imports country-specific variants of these three engines into the searchengines table of your SEO Panel database, covering markets across Europe, Asia, Oceania, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa.
After importing, the new search engines appear in the Search Engine Manager and become selectable wherever search engines are used in the panel.
Covered Countries¶
The package adds local search engine entries for the following countries and regions:
Google (40+ variants)
Yahoo (30+ variants) — covers USA, UK, Germany, France, Japan, India, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and more.
Bing (30+ variants) — covers USA, UK, Germany, France, India, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Japan, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, South Africa, New Zealand, and more.
How to Import¶
The package is a single .sql file. Importing it into your SEO Panel database adds all local search engines in one step.
Step 1 — Download the package
Download the SQL file from the Local Search Engines Package page on seopanel.org.
Step 2 — Import the SQL file
Import the file into your SEO Panel database using one of the following methods:
Using phpMyAdmin:
- Open phpMyAdmin and select your SEO Panel database
- Click the Import tab
- Click Choose File and select the downloaded
.sqlfile - Click Go to run the import
Using the MySQL command line:
mysql -u your_db_user -p your_db_name < local_search_engines.sql
Replace your_db_user and your_db_name with your actual database credentials and name.
Step 3 — Verify in SEO Panel
After importing:
- Log in to SEO Panel
- Go to Admin Panel → Search Engine Manager
- The new local search engines will appear in the list with Active status
Using Local Search Engines¶
Once imported, the local search engines are available in all SEO Panel tools that support search engine selection.
Rank Checker
When adding or editing a keyword in the Rank Checker, select the target local search engine (e.g. google.co.uk for UK rankings) from the Search Engine dropdown.
Keyword Position Checker
Select any local search engine when setting up keyword position tracking to monitor rankings for that specific market.
Search Engine Saturation
Use local search engines to check how many of your pages are indexed in a specific country’s Google or Bing.
Search Engine Manager
Go to Admin Panel → Search Engine Manager to view, activate, inactivate or delete any of the imported search engines. You can also edit the Maximum Results setting for each engine individually.
Managing Search Engines¶
After importing, you can manage the local search engines from Admin Panel → Search Engine Manager.
Activating / Inactivating
Select one or more search engines using the checkboxes and use the Activate or Inactivate buttons at the bottom of the list to bulk-toggle their status. Only Active search engines appear in tool dropdowns.
Filtering the List
Use the Search Engine name filter and Status dropdown (Active / Inactive) to quickly find specific entries.
Editing Maximum Results
Click any search engine name to edit its Maximum Results setting — the maximum number of search result pages to crawl when checking rankings for that engine.
Note
The imported search engines use the same regex patterns as the base google.com, yahoo.com and bing.com engines but with country-specific URLs and language parameters. They do not require any additional configuration after import.
