- Make recurring public-source research more consistent.
- Reduce repetitive page-by-page browsing.

- 3Use one plain-language instruction to describe the site scope and the findings relevant to your content planning.

- 5Test with one appropriate seed URL and confirm the crawl is within your Diffbot plan.
