FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my actual search engine rankings?

    No. The AI only reads the search results. It cannot modify your website or influence how search engines index your content.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically update a spreadsheet for me?

    No. The AI provides the data and analysis in your chat interface. You must manually copy that data into a spreadsheet if you want a permanent log.

  • 03

    Which search engines can it access?

    It can access Google, Bing, and Yandex.

  • 04

    Can the AI perform a search without me asking?

    No. The AI only triggers a search when you give it a specific command or instruction to do so.

  • 05

    Will the AI tell me why my ranking dropped?

    The AI can identify that a drop happened by comparing new data to previous results, but it cannot know the technical reason for the drop unless you provide that context.
