Google’s search results are difficult to copy or export. The listings redirect through Google.com, requiring a click on each one to reach the destination. Moreover, search result pages now contain sections beyond traditional listings that prevent copying, such as “People also ask,” videos, and images.
Yet exporting ranking URLs is important for analyzing backlink data, titles, on-page optimization, and more.
The following three tools can export organic search results for any query.
Semrush
