Benefits and opportunities of Serpstat SERP Crawling
What is the difference between crawling paid and organic search results from Rank Tracking tool?
Speed. SERP Crawling is quick — you'll have a report with positions of 100.000 keywords in 60 minutes.
Frequency. The crawling schedule depends only on the customer's wishes — reports can be received at least every hour. This is especially important for the analysis of contextual advertising: keyword search volume checker results change very quickly and tracking once a day is often not enough for the complete analysis.
Accuracy. When ordering a service, you can select many parameters — search engine, language, region and city, time and scanning frequency, which allows you to customize crawling to the needs of your business and analyze the search results (organic/paid, desktop/mobile) that your potential customers see.
Flexibility. Crawling report data is provided in a raw format; you choose a convenient one for visualizing and presenting data, whether it is an integration with a BI system or providing a report in popular CSV or XLS formats.
Automation of data collection greatly simplifies the processes, and the API for SERP Crawling is simple and convenient to use.
Price. This feature is available regardless of the pricing plan, in addition, the number of requests per day, month, etc. is not limited. One request costs from $0.001 to $0.0013 (depending on the number of purchased limits), which is more profitable compared to the cost of Rank Tracking limits.
PPC Crawling: Cases
Let's look at some interesting examples of using SERP Crawling to analyze paid results.
1
Choosing a promotion strategy
What queries should you concentrate on when setting up ads? The simultaneous crawling of organic and paid search results finds keywords for which it is inappropriate to advertise since the site already occupies the top positions in these organic queries. This will avoid competition with your own site. At the same time, you will find context-sensitive queries with high competition in the organic search.

Of course, the list of practical applications is far from complete and you can combine and use crawling data to solve your business problems.
