Run the Scan

Start the Google SERP Scan using the scan action provided on the page.

Review the Results

After the scan completes, review the returned results and their classifications.

Pay particular attention to:

• URL
• Google title/result
• Matched detection rules
• Risk score
• Risk classification

Results may be classified as:

Clean → Suspicious → Spam → Critical

Investigate Suspicious Results

A Suspicious label should be treated as a signal to review the result rather than automatic proof that the URL is malicious.

Check whether:

• The URL belongs to the website.
• The title matches legitimate content.
• The detected language is expected.
• A keyword match is legitimate.
• The URL pattern is expected.
• The indexed content belongs on the site.
