The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on competitor events, industry conferences, or local happenings means checking Google over and over and copying details into a spreadsheet by hand. It's tedious enough that most people just stop doing it.

Who it fits

Event organizers, marketing teams, and researchers tracking events in their industry or area.

How it works

  1. You start the search with your event query and search terms
  2. The system fetches matching events from Google, page by page
  3. It pulls out the event name, date, location, and other details
  4. Every event is added as a new row in a spreadsheet
What you get

Events tracked in one list instead of scattered searches

You get a spreadsheet with every matching event's name, date, and location, pulled straight from Google search results for your terms.

What you get

A spreadsheet list of matching events with dates, locations, and details, ready to review.

What you need

A SerpApi account and a Google account for Sheets.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
