What it does

This workflow polls Brave Search on a tight schedule for your priority keywords and watches for the moment a featured snippet flips to a competitor. The instant a loss is detected, it sends a formatted Slack message to your SEO channel showing the keyword, the URL you lost, the new snippet owner, and the snippet text that now ranks.

When to use it

Use it for a small set of high-value head terms where losing the snippet costs real revenue and you want a human to investigate within hours, not days. Pairs well with an editorial team that lives in Slack.

How it works

  1. 1A frequent schedule triggers the poll.
  2. 2The workflow queries Brave Search for each priority keyword and extracts the current featured-snippet owner.
  3. 3It compares the owner against the last-known owner stored in BigQuery.
  4. 4A branch checks whether your domain held the snippet and a competitor now holds it.
  5. 5On a confirmed loss, a Slack alert is posted with the keyword, lost URL, and competitor detail.
  6. 6The new snippet owner is saved to BigQuery so the next poll only alerts on fresh changes.
