Automatically collect and compare how Google displays your headlines versus your actual page titles to build comprehensive reports for stakeholders.

Workflow Steps

1

Screaming Frog

Crawl website and extract all page titles

Use Screaming Frog SEO Spider to crawl your website and export a complete list of all page titles, URLs, and meta descriptions. Filter to focus on your most important content pages.

2

SERPApi

Fetch Google search results for target pages

Use SERPApi to programmatically search Google for your target pages using relevant keywords. Extract the actual headlines as they appear in search results, not just the page titles.

3

Google Sheets

Create comparison analysis with formulas

Import both datasets into Google Sheets. Use formulas to compare original titles with displayed headlines, flag discrepancies, and calculate percentage of pages affected by AI rewrites.

4

Google Apps Script

Automate weekly reporting and alerts

Set up a Google Apps Script to run this comparison weekly, automatically updating the spreadsheet and sending email alerts when new discrepancies are detected or when the percentage of rewritten headlines changes significantly.
