⚙️ Sample inputs

This is the Store example input — the same input Apify's automated check runs — so it is proven to return rows on the current build. Paste it into the input form, or send it through the API, CLI or a schedule:

{
  "keywords": [
    "best crm software 2026",
    "ai writing tools"
  ],
  "domain": "salesforce.com",
  "searchEngine": "bing",
  "country": "us",
  "language": "en",
  "device": "desktop",
  "includeCompetitors": true,
  "detectAIOverview": true,
  "maxKeywords": 100
}

🔧 Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
keywords (required)	array	["best crm software 2026", "ai writing tools"]	Keywords to track (max 100 per run). Each keyword consumes one billable event.
domain (required)	string	"salesforce.com"	Domain to look up in the SERP (without protocol, e.g. 'thenextgennexus.com'). Returns rank position if found in top 100 results.
searchEngine	string (google, bing, duckduckgo)	"google"	Which engine to query. Google is read directly by this actor through Apify's Google SERP proxy — nothing extra to run or pay. A keyword the engine does not answer is pushed with an error field and billed: false, and is not charged. Bing & DuckDuckGo are fetched directly too.
country	string	"us"	Two-letter ISO country code for localized results (e.g. 'us', 'gb', 'de', 'ca').
language	string	"en"	Two-letter language code (e.g. 'en', 'fr', 'de', 'es').
device	string (desktop, mobile)	"desktop"	Device profile to emulate. Mobile SERPs differ significantly from desktop, including AIO trigger rates.
includeCompetitors	boolean	true	Emit the top-10 organic results per keyword for competitive analysis.
detectAIOverview	boolean	true	Record whether Google shows an AI Overview for the keyword (yes/no). The overview's text and sources are not captured. Google only.
maxKeywords	integer	100	Hard cap on number of keywords processed in this run. Useful for cost control when feeding large lists from another actor.

🧾 JSON sample record

One real record from run WKpf0WxIHN682WgmB (emails/phones masked, long text shortened):

{
  "keyword": "best crm software 2026",
  "searchEngine": "bing",
  "country": "us",
  "language": "en",
  "device": "desktop",
  "searchedAt": "2026-09-25T03:21:18Z",
  "domainRank": null,
  "domainUrl": null,
  "domainSnippet": null,
  "topCompetitors": [],
  "peopleAlsoAsk": [],
  "relatedSearches": [],
  "featuredSnippet": {
    "present": false,
    "url": null,
    "text": null
  },
  "hasAIOverview": null,
  "billed": true
}

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.02	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Keyword rank checked (keyword-tracked)	$0.012	Charged for each keyword tracked, including SERP fetch, rank lookup, competitor extraction, and AI Overview detection
AI Overview detected (ai-overview-detected)	$0.005	Charged additionally when an AI Overview is present on the SERP and parsed with sources

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.012 = $1.20 plus the start fee.

📊 What you get

One row per keyword (15 fields):

• keyword, searchEngine, country, language, device, searchedAt — what was searched, where and when
• domainRank, domainUrl, domainSnippet — your domain's position, URL and snippet (empty when it is not in the results read)
• topCompetitors — the other domains ranking above and around you
• featuredSnippet — whether a featured snippet shows, with its URL and text
• peopleAlsoAsk, relatedSearches, hasAIOverview — filled on Google searches only (hasAIOverview says whether Google showed an AI Overview; its text is not captured); Bing pages don't carry them, so on Bing they stay empty
• billed — whether this keyword was charged

Pricing: $0.012 per keyword (Pay-Per-Event) — about 83 keywords per $1.
