Hey, when you check manually, google remembers a lot of information about you. So it returns slightly different results for you than it does for other people, and bots for that matter. You can try it in the incognito window on your computer. Searching for the same keyword returns different results, and sometimes the paid are there and sometimes there are not. And if you do it on your computer google still has some info, like location, even when you are in the incognito window, but with the scraper, you do not share this information at all. See in my screenshots that are taken a minute apart that it shows different paid results (and different amount of them).

I understand. Then, any chance to keep a session/save searches and have google show ads? I need to track if competitors buys my brand or certain keywords

To follow up on this – what are the browser parameters that are being set in the request? FWIW, the searches I'm manually making in incognito do not return any search results, so I'm interested in seeing how I can manually emulate Apify's configuration in my manual testing.

Hello,

Thanks for the question. There isn't a way to reproduce the search results exactly because the system needs to rotate both IP addresses and fingerprints, otherwise would get rate-limited/banned. The only thing that is guaranteed is the country of origin. This means multiple searches can have slight differences between them.

The team currently doesn't plan to support more fixed sessions but it is something that might be re-explored in the future.
