How FAII SERP Intelligence Works

Advanced Web Scraping Architecture

FAII uses sophisticated browser automation to collect authentic search data: Browser Automation:
  • Puppeteer 24 with stealth plugins for undetectable operation
  • OctoBrowser and AdsPower integration for authentic browser profiles
  • Residential proxy network for geographic accuracy
  • Human-like behavior simulation (random delays, mouse movements)
Data Collection Process:
  1. Campaign Creation - Define keywords, locations, and competitors
  2. Browser Session Launch - Real browser profile via OctoBrowser/AdsPower API
  3. Geographic Routing - Residential proxy for location authenticity
  4. Search Execution - Human-like search behavior and navigation
  5. Complete SERP Capture - HTML snapshot + screenshot preservation
  6. AI Overview Detection - Full text extraction of AI-generated content
  7. Data Analysis - Ranking calculation, competitor detection, feature identification
  8. Storage - Supabase PostgreSQL with time-series data

What Makes FAII Different

Complete AI Overview Capture: Unlike competitors who only detect AI Overview presence, FAII captures the complete text content, preserving every mention and recommendation exactly as Google shows it. Undetectable Operation:
  • Real browser sessions that Google cannot distinguish from human users
  • Residential proxies for authentic geographic representation
  • Human-like behavior patterns that avoid detection algorithms

Keyword Selection Strategy

  • Commercial Intent Keywords - Terms customers use when ready to buy
  • Brand Protection Terms - Your company and product names
  • Competitor Brand Terms - Track competitor brand mentions
  • Long-tail Variations - Specific, detailed search queries
