Materials to reproduce findings in our story, "Google’s Top Search Result? Surprise! It’s Google"
This project provides the tools and data to audit Google search results, revealing how much screen space Google dedicates to its own products versus competitors. It takes raw HTML search result pages as input and outputs analyzed data and visualizations that show the proportional allocation of screen real estate. This is useful for researchers, journalists, and anyone interested in understanding potential biases in Google's search algorithms.
No commits in the last 6 months.
Use this if you want to independently verify or reproduce the findings of an audit into Google search result biases, or conduct your own similar analysis on search result page layouts.
Not ideal if you're looking for a simple, out-of-the-box tool for general SEO analysis or competitive intelligence that doesn't require deep dives into data processing.
