SEO & Competitive Research

Track rankings and spy on competitors without getting rate-limited

The problem

Google and other search engines are highly sensitive to automated queries — they recognize datacenter IPs, headless browsers, and repeated search patterns within seconds. Most SEO tools that scrape SERPs either use heavy proxy rotation with limited accuracy, or get blocked and return stale or incomplete data.

How it works

  1. 1

    Set up geo-specific profiles

    Create profiles with residential proxies and locales for each market you want to track. Rankings in New York look different from rankings in London — each profile gives you ground-truth local SERPs.

  2. 2

    Run search queries via agent

    Use a Playwright script or Claude agent to perform queries, scroll through results, and extract URLs, snippets, and AI Overview blocks. The browser looks like a real user session.

  3. 3

    Monitor competitor pages

    Crawl competitor landing pages, blog posts, and product pages on a schedule. Extract content structure, meta signals, internal linking, and schema markup.

  4. 4

    Track and alert on changes

    Diff ranking positions and page content over time. Get notified when you gain or lose positions, when competitors update copy, or when new SERP features appear.

Why it works well with Clawbrowser

Accurate local rankings

Residential proxies give you real search results from each target locale — not data center IPs that trigger Google's bot scoring.

AI Overview visibility

Capture full SERP pages including AI Overviews, People Also Ask, and Knowledge Panels that API-based tools miss entirely.

No rate limits or bans

Rotating fingerprints and session history keep queries looking organic. Run daily tracking across thousands of keywords without IP blocks.
