Watch Demo Video at Youtube

Using this tool, you'll get relevant information regarding specific keyword searches and hints on what other top-ranking results did with their article/page.

Right now we're focusing on Google SERP only

The commercial version for this open-source tool would be something like Surfer SEO, Frase io, NeuronWriter, etc.. (of course, they offer more features than this).

• This is for personaluse. No authentication setup is needed in the app itself.
• Sign up to SerpApi to get FREE Serp search results credit.

Status

Under heavy development. Not for production.

Tech

Backend

backend-crt is a docker setup for:

• fastApi at src for main logic
• Golang at go-app dir for scraping helper // current free alt to prevent getting blocked
• Postgre as database

Frontend

frontend-crt is manual nextjs installation

Scrape API (SerpAPI)

Scraping Google search result on our own will require a lot of time to prevent us from getting blocked and getting the proper structure. That's why we're using simple solution from SerpApi.
