Yes! You can use ScrapeMagic to extract data from a website's HTML. [1]
To check for links or keywords like "Google":
1.
Use ScrapeMagic's "Parse Data from URL" action
2.
Enter the target URL (e.g., ABC-example.com)
3.
Define fields to extract—describe what you're looking for (e.g., "links to google.com" or "mentions of Google") [2]
Alternatively, use "Find Keywords in Website with Google" to search for specific keywords across a domain. [3] You can input the website and comma-separated keywords to check if they appear. [4]

This is correct? I ran it, but it errored out. I try to see the websites contain the following keywords.

Your setup looks correct for checking keyword mentions. For the "Fields to Extract" section, try these clearer descriptions: [1]
Key 1: Boulevard_mention → Check if the page mentions "Boulevard" anywhere
Key 2: Zenoti_mention → Check if the page mentions "Zenoti" anywhere
To troubleshoot the error, click into the specific cell where you're seeing the error to expose more details about what went wrong. This will help identify if it's a formatting issue, missing data, or another problem with the enrichment.

The "Required auth account is missing" warning means you need to connect your ScrapeMagic account to Clay first. [1]
To fix this:
1.
Go to Settings > Connections [2]
2.
Click + Add connection
3.
Search for ScrapeMagic and add your API key
Once connected, your ScrapeMagic integration will work properly for parsing website data. [3]

You don't need ScrapeMagic! Clay has built-in alternatives for finding keywords on websites:
Option 1: Use "Find Keywords with Clay" - Input your target keywords and website text to search for mentions. [1]
Option 2: Use our Google search template - This finds web pages mentioning specific keywords across domains. [2]
Option 3: Use Clay Chrome Extension - Scrape website data directly without external accounts. [3]
All these work with Clay credits - no external accounts needed. [4]
