Comparisons need the same fields across every row — that's what structured extraction buys you. Thirdwatch's Google Trends Real turns Google Trends Real into structured SEO data — the fields you need, ready to export.

Skip the setup: Run this as a ready-to-go task on Apify — pre-loaded with the configuration from this guide.

Why compare SEO data

'Which is better/cheaper/higher-rated' is a table question. Manual browsing gives anecdotes; a structured pull gives you the sortable, filterable census.

Run the Actor over your full target list and the comparison is a group-by away.

The scraper handles the extraction details so a short input list in means usable SEO data out.

How does this compare to the alternatives?

Why this Actor

  • Purpose-built for this source — geoLocations in, structured rows out.
  • Pay per result — no subscriptions, free tier to test.
  • Dataset output exports as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via API.
  • Schedulable — save the task and run it daily or weekly.
  • Part of the Thirdwatch portfolio — 140+ public Actors maintained as a fleet.

How to do it in 3 steps

Step 1: Configure the input

Set the inputs as shown below — geoLocations takes the targets, the optional fields bound run size — start small and scale.

Step 2: Run the Actor

Run it from the console, the API, or the linked saved task. One dataset row is written per row.

Step 3: Use the output

Each row carries the fields this source exposes (title, url, description).

{
  "geoLocations": [
    "US"
  ]
}

Each dataset row looks like:

{
  "title": "\u2026",
  "url": "\u2026",
  "description": "\u2026"
}

What to watch for

Results reflect what's publicly visible at run time. Very large pulls take proportionally longer; bound them with the max/limit fields. For search visibility and audits, scheduled small runs beat occasional giant ones.

Frequently asked questions

What does Google Trends Real return?

One dataset row per SEO data — with the fields shown in the sample output. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

How do I control run size?

`geoLocations` selects the targets and the max/limit fields bound how many rows come back. Start small, then scale.

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes — save it as a task and attach a schedule in Apify Console for daily/weekly pulls.

Is this data public?

The Actor collects publicly visible data only — the same information a logged-out visitor sees.

What formats can I export?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or direct API access to the dataset — plus webhooks and integrations.

What if a run returns fewer rows than expected?

The source limits some results; retry once, and widen the query or filters if the target surface is genuinely thin.
