Outcomes
- completed: counted against the quota.
- not_found: the URL wasn't in the results searched. Free.
- blocked_by_target: the search engine showed a challenge and the run stopped. Free.
- timeout or provider_error: retried up to twice, then free.
The run timeline
Open a run to see each step: queued, searching, found at position and page, clicked, dwelled (seconds and pages visited) and completed or failed with a reason. Keyword positions store the best position observed each day.
What we never do
Runs don't solve challenges, spoof browser fingerprints or rotate network addresses to get around checks. If a run is challenged, it ends and is logged.
Check your understanding
A term shows many not_found outcomes. What should you check before anything else?
