## ⚠️ Important Notes
### Rate Limiting
- Default delay: 5 seconds between requests
- Recommended: 10-15 seconds for production
- Google may still show CAPTCHAs with heavy usage
### Legal & Ethical Use
- Always respect robots.txt
- Follow website Terms of Service
- Use reasonable rate limits
- Don't overload servers
### Best Practices
1. Start with `--headless false` to see behavior
2. Increase delays between requests
3. Test queries in small batches first
4. Monitor for CAPTCHAs or rate limiting
5. Use different IP addresses for high volume
## 🎓 Learning Resources
1. **Start Here**: `docs/QUICKSTART_PLAYWRIGHT.md`
2. **Full API**: `docs/PLAYWRIGHT_SCRAPING.md`
3. **Examples**: `scripts/example-usage.js`
4. **Tests**: `tests/human-behavior.test.js`
5. **Config**: `scripts/scraper-config.js`
## 🔜 Next Steps
1. ✅ Install dependencies: `npm install`
2. ✅ Install browser: `npx playwright install chromium`
3. 🎯 Try example: `node scripts/example-usage.js 1`
4. 🧪 Run tests: `npm run test:headed`
5. ✅ Validate alerts: `node scripts/validate-scraping.js docs/google-alerts-broad.md`
6. 🚀 Start scraping with confidence!
## 💡 Tips
- **Headed mode** (visible browser) is great for development
- **Headless mode** is faster for production
- Use `--max 3` when testing to limit requests
- Increase `--delay` if you encounter rate limiting
- Check console output for detailed behavior logs
## 🎉 You're Ready!
Your Playwright setup is complete with state-of-the-art bot detection avoidance. All the tools, examples, and documentation you need are in place.
Happy scraping! 🚀

# Google Alert Strategy for Repair Leads
## The Problem
Canadian regional subreddits have **very low posting volume** for repair-related topics. Alerts with narrow site filters like `site:reddit.com/r/kitchener` + specific repair keywords return **zero results** because:
1. Small subreddits (r/kitchener, r/waterloo) have <10 repair posts per month
2. Google Alerts only fires on **newly indexed content**
3. Over-specific queries (23 site filters + 40 keywords) get truncated by Google
## Recommended Approach
### Option 1: Location-Based (Broader Coverage) ⭐ RECOMMENDED
Use **city names as keywords** instead of site: filters. This catches repair requests across ALL platforms (Reddit, Facebook, Kijiji, forums, classifieds).
**Example:**
```
("macbook repair" OR "macbook won't turn on" OR "logic board repair")
("Toronto" OR "Mississauga" OR "Kitchener" OR "Waterloo")
-job -jobs -hiring
```
**Pros:**
- Catches repair requests on ANY website (not just Reddit)
- Much higher chance of results
- Simpler queries = more reliable alerts
**Cons:**
- May include irrelevant mentions of city names
- Requires more filtering
**File:** `docs/google-alerts-broad.md`
---
### Option 2: Intent-Based (High Quality)
Focus on **explicit repair requests** using intent keywords like "repair shop recommendation", "where to repair", "anyone repair".
**Example:**
```
("repair shop recommendation" OR "where to repair" OR "anyone repair")
("macbook" OR "iphone" OR "console")
site:reddit.com
```
**Pros:**
- High-quality leads (people actively seeking repair services)
- Works across all subreddits
- Clear buying intent
**Cons:**
- Lower volume (people don't always use these exact phrases)
- Misses passive mentions ("my macbook died")
**File:** `docs/google-alerts-broad.md` (bottom half)
---
### Option 3: Regional Reddit (Original Approach)
Split Canadian subreddits into 5 regions with specific repair keywords.
**Example:**
```
(site:reddit.com/r/ontario OR site:reddit.com/r/toronto OR site:reddit.com/r/mississauga)
("macbook repair" OR "macbook won't turn on" OR "logic board repair")
-entertainment -movie -music
```
**Pros:**
- Very targeted to specific subreddits
- Clean results (only Reddit posts)
- No city name false positives
**Cons:**
- **Very low volume** on small subreddits
- May go weeks without a match
- Only catches Reddit (misses Kijiji, Facebook, etc.)
**File:** `docs/google-alerts.md`
---
## Testing Your Alerts
Before creating an alert, **test it in Google Search first:**
1. Copy the query from the code block
2. Paste into [google.com](https://google.com) (NOT Google Alerts)
3. Check the results:
- **10+ recent results** = Alert will work well ✅
- **1-5 results** = Alert might work, but low volume ⚠️
- **0 results** = Alert will never fire ❌
### Example Test Queries
Test these in Google Search right now:
**Broad (should return 100+ results):**
```
"macbook repair" ("Toronto" OR "Mississauga")
```
**Regional Reddit (may return 0-5 results):**
```
site:reddit.com/r/kitchener "macbook repair"
```
**Intent-based (should return 20+ results):**
```
site:reddit.com "where to repair" ("macbook" OR "iphone")
```
---
## Recommendation
**Start with Option 1 (Location-Based)** from `google-alerts-broad.md`:
1. Set up the 4 core services (Data Recovery, MacBook, Console, iPhone)
2. Monitor for 1 week
3. If too much noise, switch to Option 2 (Intent-Based)
4. Only use Option 3 (Regional Reddit) if you specifically want Reddit-only leads
The broad queries will get you actual results. The regional Reddit ones are technically correct but may never fire due to low post volume.
---
## Why the Original Queries Didn't Work
The validation report identified these issues:
1. **Too many site filters** (23 vs limit of ~8-12)
2. **Too many OR terms** (40+ vs limit of ~28-32)
3. **Too long** (1,100+ chars vs limit of ~512)
4. **`ALERT_NAME:` marker** was being searched as literal text
5. **Over-specific keywords** + **low-volume subreddits** = zero matches
Even after fixing the technical limits, the fundamental issue remains: **small Canadian subreddits don't have enough repair posts to trigger daily alerts**.

### Key Findings
- Every Reddit-focused alert chains 23 subreddit filters plus 3045 exact phrases, which Google truncates, leading to zero incremental hits.
- Queries above ~600 characters or with more than ~32 OR tokens are silently shortened by Google Alerts; most of the Reddit bundles fall into this category.
- Non-Reddit alerts mostly pass site/length checks but lean heavily on quoted phrases, which prevents near-match language from surfacing.
- Two alerts (`Repair Communities - Discord CA`, `Gov/Corporate Auctions - Electronics CA`) cleared every check, so they can stay untouched.
### Recommended Replacement Queries
The following drop-in queries stay within Googles limits (≤8 site filters, ≤20 OR clauses, ≤12 quoted phrases) and can replace the existing alerts immediately. Duplicate them per region/device category as needed.
