How do you run ranks now for clients that aren't in your local area now that Google customizes search results based on location?

What tool/service have you found that gives accurate rank results?

To me it seems like there is no guaranteed global #1position any more, or is this the situation for only certain types of searches?

Likewise how can anyone tool give a global accurate rank score?

There are third party tools (such as https://www.whitespark.ca/local-rank-tracker). I have never used them--so don't know how accurate they are. You are right, there is no guarantee on first position ever.
