Search
Real Google results for your brand: who shows up, in what order, on the page a customer actually sees.
Check 02 of 14.
What happens
Real Google result pages for your terms, plus a check of which industry directories list your competitors and whether they list you. THE BOUNDARY WITH seo (2026-08-21): on an all-rest/hosted pull, this leg's own query is a live check of what a Google search for the brand's own name/domain shows RIGHT NOW — the brand's own pages plus every third party already answering for that name — not a keyword-rank tracker and not a survey of the wider market the brand sells into. That is seo's job: a generated universe of brand, product and industry keywords, tracked with volume/difficulty/rank/competitors over time. See src/collectors/all-rest-orchestrator.mjs's SEARCH_LANE_BOUNDARY/SEO_LANE_BOUNDARY constants, which both legs' own result objects now carry verbatim.

The facts a reader needs
| Language model | None. |
| Cost | $0.002 per query, capped at 10 queries per pull (4 in the default plan) plus at most one extra probe-retry call per provider rung — DataForSEO-billed calls never exceed 11, so up to $0.022 for the search itself · up to $0.018 for the directory check |
| Depends on | None — this leg runs independently of the site capture. |
| When it is absent | A directory that returns no result is reported as not listing you, which is the answer. |
Who supplies it
- DataForSEO — Search, SEO, reviews and backlinks. DataForSEO supplies the search data for paid reports and the beta weekly search check; its AI lanes stay parked, and the free read never calls it.
