Need Better Google Ad Search

Feature requests

Was excited when we found the SERP Google Ad Search API endpoint. However, it appears that Google will give different search results to people logged into their own Google accounts than to those who are not. So, the D4SEO scrapers may not see the same results a user sees in their own browser.

If we use these results and show zero results when searching for ads by a particular advertiser, but a user performs the same search and does find results because they’re signed in, they will not care, nor understand, this discrepancy. It will instill doubt in our app and we’ll field many complaints.

Here’s hoping you can find a resolution to this issue!

    Hello! Legally, only publicly accessible internet data - meaning data that isn’t restricted by a login - can be collected. That’s why reputable data providers follow best practices by gathering information without creating accounts on search engines. This ensures compliance while still delivering valuable data.

    Please send us a few examples where you notice the differences. We’ll carefully review them and determine if any optimizations can be made. Thank you! 🙏🏻
