FAQ

How the monitoring works

  • 01

    Can the AI change my Google rankings?

    No. The AI only reads and analyzes existing search results. It cannot interact with Google to change your position.

  • 02

    Does the AI perform the actual web scraping?

    Yes. The AI uses the tools provided by the Crawlbase MCP to fetch the data for you.

  • 03

    Can the AI buy ads or manage my Google Ads account?

    No. This connector is strictly for reading search engine results pages.

  • 04

    Will the AI save these results to a database for me?

    The AI can process the data and present it to you, but it does not automatically manage an external database unless you provide a tool for that.

  • 05

    Can I see what the search page looks like?

    Yes, the agent can provide a link to a screenshot of the search results page.
