FAQ

FAQ

Common questions about using the AI agent in practice.

The agent uses live SERP data from SerpAPI for the target region, paired with AI analysis from GPT-4o. Results are normalized into a structured dataset and enriched with related searches and intent signals. It does not rely on static, outdated datasets and updates with each keyword request. All data is stored in Google Sheets for auditability and traceability.

The current flow is designed around a single keyword request per run to ensure accuracy and actionable insights. It can be configured for batch processing, but batching increases runtime and may require scheduling. For best results, process keywords sequentially or via a controlled batch cadence. Each result set logs separately for clear auditing.

If SERP fetch fails, the AI agent triggers an automatic Slack alert with the node name, error message, and timestamp. It will not proceed to AI analysis or reporting until the data issue is resolved. A retry policy can be configured, and failures are documented in Google Sheets for investigation. Human notification is optional but recommended for critical campaigns.

Yes. The email reports are generated with client-ready HTML and can be branded with logos, color schemes, and notes. The underlying data schema is adaptable, allowing custom fields for different clients. You can adjust formats to emphasize specific KPIs, topics, or content formats. Any customization can be versioned and audited.

The current model focuses on on-demand keyword analysis via a webhook, but scheduling can be added to run periodic analyses. Automated Slack alerts monitor errors, and results are logged for audits. For teams needing continuous intelligence, a scheduled cadence can be implemented with defined trigger rules. Security and access controls apply to all automated runs.

Data is stored in Google Sheets for auditing and history tracking, with references to the original keyword and analysis results. Access is controlled via OAuth credentials and the organization’s IAM policies. SerpAPI, Gmail, and Slack integrations use scoped API keys with restricted permissions. All data is handled in accordance with standard security practices and reduced data exposure where possible.

Yes. The region parameter can be adjusted to target different markets, and the SERP provider’s regional endpoints can be configured accordingly. Results will reflect regional search behavior and local competition signals. You may need to update country-specific intents and related searches. This extension enables multi-market SEO intelligence with consistent workflows.
