Ricardo is one of the founders and engineers behind its SERP and AI-search scraping infrastructure. Before cloro he scaled a financial comparison site to $7M ARR and ran the full-country operations of a unicorn to $65M ARR, then went back to building. He writes about search engine scraping, generative-engine optimization, and turning live search and AI-answer data into something teams can act on.
We ran the exact-phrase pipeline on 18 of cloro's own articles: 27.8% had a detected non-cloro copy, a copy outranked the original 22.2% of the time, and 39 distinct republisher domains showed up. Here's the build recipe — plus how to get copies taken down.
The cloro OpenClaw plugin adds seven AI search monitoring tools to your agent — check how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini answer any prompt. Also connects over MCP.
SERP API reliability at 10k+ daily requests — uptime SLAs, latency under load, and concurrency across cloro, SerpAPI, DataForSEO, and Bright Data.
Most typosquat coverage stops at registration counts. In cloro's July 2026 study of 400 dnstwist-style permutations across 15 brands, 66% resolved to a live site — and of the resolving squats we checked, 53% were already Google-indexed. Registration isn't reach. Indexing is.
The definitive reference for Google News RSS feeds: search and topic URL anatomy, geo/language params, the documented limits, and measured reliability data.
There is no official Google News API — Google retired it in 2011 and never replaced it. This guide maps what you can actually pull in 2026 (RSS, unofficial libraries, Custom Search, a scraping API), with an original freshness study and a Python tutorial.
In an own-scope study of cloro.dev, Certificate Transparency surfaced 15 hostnames but only 3 were search-indexed — while a defensive site: sweep found ~20 exposed URL paths host enumeration never sees. The two layers are complementary, not redundant.
Google's 'verifying your request' page comes back as HTTP 200 with no search results, so scrapers log it as a success. What sets it off and how to get through it.
Competitor SEO tracking is share-of-voice measurement for classic Google search: which domains own the top 10 across your keyword set, computed from scraped SERPs. Here's how to build it, a 30-day war in one niche, and how to alert on entries and exits.
