Frequently Asked Questions

What SERP features can I extract?

AlterLab renders full search result pages and can extract organic listings, featured snippets, knowledge panels, People Also Ask boxes, image carousels, video results, local pack entries, shopping ads, and top-story modules — any element visible on the rendered page.

Can I get location-specific SERP results?

Yes. Pass a geo-targeted search URL (using gl and hl parameters) to retrieve results as they appear in a specific country or region. This is useful for local SEO analysis and international market research.
