Ecom Site Analysis v2 

This bot requires three third-party applications to run; ApyHub (which you can sign up for here => CLICK HERE and it is free [free tier]), Google Programmable Search (instructions on how to set that up below), and Jotform (also free) for form input that triggers the flow. 

For the Google Programmable Search engine… 

Simply follow the instructions given here: 

CLICK HERE

Only the step for creating the search engine. 

Create an account in Control Panel. 

Click to create a search engine. 

Set it to search the entire web. 

Name it and set the language. 

That’s it.

When you’ve created your search engine go to your Control Panel: 

CLICK HERE

Click on your search engine. 

On this page you’ll see your Search Engine ID (you need that). 

Scroll to the bottom and click on Programmatic Access (limit 10k per day - Get started):

Here click to Get a Key 

This will generate an API key for you (you’ll need that too). 

These numbers go into the URL in the first HTTP Module:

All details about this API can be found here: 

CLICK HERE

For Jotform sign up for a free account here - CLICK HERE

Then create a form with a simple short text input 

When you go to the Publish tab, you can get the URL to visit the form and fill it out. Once you have the form, then you need to connect it to your scenario. 

You do this by clicking Add, and then Make will create a webhook. Simply name your webhook and then tell it which form you want it connected to and that’s it.

*PROTIP, you need to run the Jotform module first before any output can be used as a variable in other modules. So, disconnect Jotform from all other modules and then click run. Then fill out your form (go to the Publish page and just open it in a new window) and click Submit. This will trigger the module. Then when you reconnect it, you’ll see your answers as variables. 

After you have a Jotform connected and your Custom Search engine searching, you’ll need to input your API credentials in the ApyHub HTTP modules. 

After that, everything else is already in place. 

The last module inputs the A.I. output of your competitor analysis and customer avatar to a Google Doc. Be sure to connect your Google account and indicate the proper folder for output.

Maps Site Analysis v2 

For this scenario, you’ll need an Outscraper account (CLICK HERE). Instead of using a custom search engine, it uses a service that scrapes Maps results for websites. 

In order to generate an API key you will either need to provide billing information or pre-load a minimum of $10 into your account (but you get plenty of free scrapes). 

Once you’ve done that and have an API key, click on Integrations and the link below Make.com

Then click install 

The Make.com module will not pull any data if you do not do this step first. 

Other than this, the scenario is mostly IDENTICAL in every way to the ecom site analysis bot scenario. 

So you’d set up the rest of the flow the same way. 

The reason for two versions, one pulls Google results based on query parameters that look specifically for ecom websites. The other pulls geo-local business results which are most often brick-and-mortar businesses (rather than ecom). 

I hope this is insanely useful to your business.
