Proxy & Anti-blocking

This actor uses Apify Residential Proxies with country targeting to minimize blocking. Requests are automatically retried up to 5 times with different proxy sessions if Google returns a CAPTCHA or blocks the request.

Use Cases

• SEO Monitoring — track keyword rankings over time
• Competitor Analysis — see who ranks for your target keywords
• Market Research — discover content gaps and opportunities
• SERP Feature Tracking — monitor People Also Ask and related searches
• Lead Generation — find companies ranking for specific terms

Cost Estimation

Each Google search page uses 1 residential proxy request. A typical run with 10 queries × 1 page each ≈ 10 requests. Residential proxy cost is the primary factor.

Limitations

• Google may serve different layouts which can affect parsing accuracy
• Heavy usage may trigger CAPTCHAs despite residential proxies — use reasonable concurrency
• Ads and shopping results are not extracted (organic results only)
