A practical Hermes-style workflow for recording Google result pages

This is a workflow for watching and structuring Google SERP snapshots for a small set of keywords. The goal is not full SEO analysis. The agent only records what is visible on the search results page.

It checks whether ads appear, which advertiser domains and ad titles are visible, the top organic result titles and snippets, the visible URL paths, and whether a target domain appears in organic results. It also checks for image blocks, product or shopping blocks, People Also Ask questions, related searches, local packs or business panels, and . Anything uncertain or cut off on screen is marked for manual review.

The agent must not click ads, click search results, fill forms, log in, or make SEO conclusions. In a Windows test with a Hermes-style , the workflow could create structured CSV output when the search results page was accessible. When Google showed a CAPTCHA or sorry page, the run was handled as blocked.
