CTRBoss, Programmatic CTR Optimisation & Local SEO GeoGrid Rank Tracking SaaS

Built an enterprise-grade CTR optimisation and local SEO rank tracking platform for digital marketing agencies combining stealth browser automation, geo-targeted proxy routing, smart traffic scheduling, and geographic GeoGrid rank visualisation into a single fully automated system.

Running CTR campaigns at scale is one of the most technically demanding challenges in SEO. Every bot session has to appear indistinguishable from a real human user across browser fingerprint, user agent, proxy IP, search behaviour, and on-site activity. Off-the-shelf automation tools get detected and blocked immediately. Agencies needed a platform that could run hundreds of realistic sessions per day across multiple client campaigns, target specific geographies, and visualise local SEO performance all without manual intervention.

CTRBoss is built on Django, Flask microservices, React, Next.js, and PostgreSQL. The core bot engine runs Undetected ChromeDriver with selenium-stealth, removes webdriver flags via Chrome DevTools Protocol, sets device-specific user agents, and routes every session through geo-targeted residential proxies from Geonode and Proxy Empire with country, state, and city-level granularity. For organic search campaigns, the bot types the keyword into Google, locates the client's website across organic results, Knowledge Panel, and paginated SERPs, clicks through, and spends session time on-site with multi-page browsing and gradual scrolling to mimic real human behaviour. Google Maps campaigns use a three-tier detection system covering the Knowledge Panel, the local 3-pack, and full Maps results with pagination.

The Django smart scheduler runs every minute implementing time-of-day traffic ramping so sessions are light overnight and peak during business hours, enforcing per-keyword interval rules and daily search limits, pre-verifying proxies before each run, and auto-restarting the Flask bot server on consecutive errors. Up to 12 parallel keyword campaigns run simultaneously across multiple clients. The GeoGrid rank tracker queries DataForSEO's Google Maps SERP API across a coordinate grid producing a visual map showing exactly where a Google Business Profile ranks across its target area and where competitors dominate. Three payment gateways Stripe, PayPal, and Braintree with a credit-based billing system made the platform commercially ready at launch.
