Google CTR Click-through Automation

A Google CTR Click-through automation is used to automate clicks on search results to simulate user engagement.

Parameters

• keyword - the search term entered into the Google search bar to initiate the automated search;
• targetUrl - the specific URL that the automation searches for within the Google search results;
• timeout - the duration in seconds that the automation waits after the last step before closing the browser;
• pagescount - the maximum number of pages in the Google search results that the automation will search through to find the targetUrl.

Steps

The automation functions as follows:

1. Navigates to Google and enters the keyword in the search bar.
2. Clicks on the search button.
3. Searches for the targetURL specified and opens it.
   • If targetURL is not found on the first Google results page, automation continues searching through up to pagescount pages.
4. Locates another internal link (from the same domain) on the page and clicks it.
5. Waits for timeout seconds.
6. Closes the browser.

Exceptions

• If targetURL is not found within the pagescount Google results pages, an error message appears in a browser, which remains open.
