How does this automation work?
Automating data collection from Google searches is a strategic way to gather insights for market research, SEO analysis, or competitive intelligence. Bardeen's playbook leverages the power of automation to scrape search results for specific keywords and save them directly to a Coda table, eliminating the tedium of manual data entry and allowing for quick analysis and organization.
Here's how this workflow simplifies data sourcing from Google Search to Coda:
- Step 1: Merge Keywords - The workflow begins by creating a Google search URL using the keywords provided by you. This step sets the foundation for the data scraping process.
- Step 2: Scrape Google Search Results - The Scraper tool then operates in the background to extract the search results based on the prepared URL. It uses a custom scraper template specifically designed to capture Google search results.
- Step 3: Save to Coda Table - The extracted search results are then saved to a specified Coda document and table. Coda acts as a versatile canvas where you can organize and manipulate your data with ease.

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Coda that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!
Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Coda and the maximum number of results you want to get. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
