The problem
SERP data is the raw material of every rank tracker, SEO audit, and competitive report — and the hardest data on the web to collect yourself.
Captchas, blocks, layout experiments, endless proxy bills — a DIY Google scraper is a second full-time product that earns you nothing.
If your positions don’t match what the client sees in their city, on their phone, trust evaporates — along with the retainer.
AI Overviews, People Also Ask, videos, local packs — if your tracker only sees organic links, it’s reporting on half the page.
See it work
Post a keyword and get every element back with its position — organic results, AI Overview with citations, questions, videos.
