From one instruction to a useful result
Three competitors × two patterns, plus up to four own-brand checks
- Step 1$0.00
Define the target
Your agent, 0 calls
Take three competitors, own brand/domain, market and two explicit patterns such as “best [category]” and “[category] directory”.
- Step 2$0.0009
Find candidate pages
GET /api/google/search, 6 calls
Run each competitor-pattern pair with fast_mode=true. Require snippet evidence of inclusion, exclude supplied rival/own hosts, and prioritize independent directories and editorial pages over vendor self-roundups.
- Step 3$0.0006
Check own-brand mentions
GET /api/google/search, 4 calls
For up to four shortlisted hosts, use as_sitesearch with own-brand terms and validate returned hosts. Distinguish an own directory listing, the exact roundup article, and unrelated host-only evidence.
- Step 4$0.00
Prioritize verification
Your agent, 0 calls
Use verify or discard until exact-page inclusion and editorial eligibility are checked. Existing own listings are accuracy-review opportunities, not missing-placement pitches. Claiming also requires ownership authority.

A search snippet is not a backlink audit, editorial acceptance, or proof that your brand is absent from a site.
