Troubleshooting Claygent: Stop Unwanted Google Searches and Focus on LinkedIn Ads Library Searches

Avatar of Robin S.Robin S.

I have a Claygent going rogue. I have hundreds of URLs for different LinkedIn Ads Library searches. I built a Claygent, that runs on 3.5 that I ONLY want to visit the site and check if there is the company (whose company name i give as an input) running ads / appears in the search results. if yes, return yes. if no, return no. even mention that it should only visit the mentioned URL. but always, if it doens’t find anything on it, it starts to google in the next step. what i forbid to do. but it still does it.

    Could you maybe help me fix this. because this would make the results much better.

    I also tried to include “return “no”, if you can see “no results found” on the site.”

    but there are still a couple of false positives, where it always did go to google as the second step.

    Will take a look and see if we can modify something to prevent that overall.

    That would be dope! You’re welcome to run some trials with my api key setup, as the cost per request is 0,002€ 😄

    No worries, I can also try with Clay credits and refund them :), then you can change back to your API

    Okay, we're getting closer. I see fewer and fewer edge cases.

    Seems like it's doing a much better job now. Maybe ~97%ish of the cases it's following it accordingly. Also, some of the ones that have 2 steps taken it's no longer a Google Search but it tries to search in LinkedIn again, the same original URL.

    Also, a quick reminder that I changed Claygent to use Clay credits. You can change back to your API whenever
