Google Search Scraper — SERP, Ads, PAA & AI Overview

Google Search Scraper — SERP Results, Ads, People Also Ask & AI Overview

Google Search Scraper extracts organic rankings, destination URLs, snippets, paid ads, People Also Ask questions, related queries, AI Overviews and knowledge panels from Google Search results pages for any keyword. Run one query or thousands, target any country, language, device or date range, and export clean JSON, CSV, Excel or XML. Fast and reliable, with billing only for results delivered.

What does Google Search Scraper do?

Google Search Scraper is a SERP scraper and a no-code alternative to a Google Search API. Give it keywords, advanced search operators or pasted Google Search URLs, and it crawls the results pages and returns structured data: one row per organic result, in rank order, plus an optional row per query with everything else Google shows on the SERP. Use it through the Console, the Apify API, a schedule or an integration.

What data can you scrape from Google Search?

Data	What you get
Organic results	Position, title, URL, domain, displayed URL, snippet, site name, publish date, highlighted keywords
Rich result data	Rating, review count and sitelinks when Google shows them
Paid results (ads)	Ad position, top or bottom block, title, advertiser URL, domain, ad copy
Product ads	Title, price, original price, merchant and domain
People Also Ask	The questions Google lists for the keyword
Related queries	"People also search for" keywords, with a search link for each
AI Overview	The answer text and its cited sources, when the page includes one
Knowledge panel	Title, subtitle, description, website and facts for companies, places and topics
Search context	Query, page, device, country, language, search URL and timestamp

What you get

Each organic result is one row, so the dataset opens directly as a rank-tracking table.

Use cases

• SEO rank tracking: record where your pages rank for each keyword, by country and device, on a schedule.
• Competitor monitoring: see who ranks and who buys ads on your most valuable keywords.
• AI Overview visibility: check which keywords trigger an AI Overview and which domains it cites.
• Content research: turn People Also Ask questions and related queries into content briefs and keyword lists.
• Lead and link prospecting: build lists of company websites that rank for a topic, a file type or a site filter.
• Index audits: run site: queries to see which pages of a domain Google shows.
• Market and news research: use date filters to collect what was published about a topic this week.
• AI agents and RAG pipelines: give an agent fresh Google results in structured JSON.

FAQ

How much does scraping Google Search cost? You pay per result delivered and per results page that produced results; see the Pricing tab for current prices. Failed or empty searches aren't billed for results or pages. If Google shows fewer than 10 organic results on a page, extra pages may be read to reach your count, and those extra pages aren't billed. With includeSerpFeatures, the features row counts as one result, and only when it has content.

Will I go over my budget? No. When your maximum cost per run is reached, the run stops cleanly and keeps only the results that were paid for.

How many results can I get per query? Up to 500, as far as Google paginates for that keyword. Google often ends well before that, and site: searches can end early. You get what Google returns, and you can pass many queries in one run.

Can I get ads and People Also Ask results? Yes. Turn on includeSerpFeatures. Google decides per search whether ads are shown, so the same keyword can show different ads between runs. People Also Ask returns the questions, without the expanded answers.

Does it capture the Google AI Overview? Yes, when the results page includes one. Google doesn't show an AI Overview for every keyword or every search. Answers from Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity or other AI search tools are not included.

Can I target a country, city or language? Yes. Use countryCode, languageCode, searchLanguage and googleDomain. locationUule adds a location hint, which Google applies loosely.

Can I use my existing Google Search URLs? Yes. Paste them into queries and their parameters are kept.

How fresh is the data? Every run reads live search results. Rankings vary between searches, as they do for any Google user.

Is it legal to scrape Google Search? The Actor returns publicly visible search results and doesn't return panels about individual people. You're responsible for complying with Google's terms and the laws that apply to your use. Results can contain personal data if a page Google ranks does, so consult your lawyer if that applies to you.

Can Google Search Scraper connect to my other tools? The Google Search Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.
