Keyword saturation across 456+ high-authority site search boxes. Injects brand name into search queries so Google crawlers index those search result pages, strengthening entity and topical authority signals.

How it works

flowchart TD
  K[Brand keyword: Journey Junk Removal Dallas] --> M{Mode}
  M -- URL --> U[HTTP request to /search?q=...]
  M -- Browser --> B[Launch persona browser, type into search]
  U --> R[High-authority site search result page]
  B --> R
  R --> G[Google crawler eventually indexes the page]
  G --> S[Brand keyword now appears on 456+ HA sites]

Two modes

Mode	Speed	Cost	Trace
url	Fast	$0	No browsing history
browser	Slow	Browser time	Leaves history traces

Theory

Google crawlers index search result pages on high-authority sites. If the same brand keyword appears on 456 different sites' search result pages, Google sees a topical signal: "this brand is mentioned everywhere."

It does NOT create real backlinks. The benefit is keyword entity association.

Routes
