How to Extract Google Search Results Directly to CSV with ScrapingDog’s Add-on

Data extraction from search engines has never been easier thanks to ScrapingDog’s Google Sheets add-on. This powerful tool allows users to extract Google search results directly into spreadsheets without any technical knowledge.

The recently released add-on for Google Sheets can be downloaded from the Google Workspace Marketplace and installed with just a few clicks. Once installed, the add-on appears in the right-hand panel of your Google Sheet interface.

Getting Started with the Google Serp API

To use the ScrapingDog Google Serp API, users need to follow these simple steps:

  1. Sign up for an account at ScrapingDog.com
  2. Access the dashboard to copy your API key
  3. Open Google Sheets and launch the ScrapingDog add-on
  4. Paste your API key in the designated field
  5. Select the Google search scraper option

Extracting Search Results

The process of extracting data is straightforward:

  1. Enter your search query (for example, “tiger”)
  2. Select your preferred country code (such as “US”)
  3. Click on “Start Scraping”

The sheet will immediately populate with organic search results, displaying the title, URL, and description for each entry.

Advanced Features

The add-on offers flexibility beyond basic searches. Users can extract results from multiple pages in a single operation:

  • Select the number of pages you wish to scrape from the dropdown menu
  • The add-on will automatically extract all results (10 per page)
  • Results are neatly organized in your spreadsheet

For example, selecting 5 pages will extract approximately 50 results from Google, all formatted clearly in your Google Sheet.

Benefits of the Add-on

The key advantages of this tool include:

  • No technical knowledge required
  • Direct extraction to spreadsheets
  • Customizable search parameters
  • Multi-page extraction capability
  • Clean, organized data format

This solution streamlines the process of gathering search data for market research, competitor analysis, or content planning.
