About this lesson

Missing photos or other details in your map research? CrawlRover Coverage shows what each business listing has on each map and where the gaps are.

Open a saved collection from Tasks, switch to All organizations (DB), and choose Coverage. Learn how to read fresh data, fields that have yet to be requested, and checked-empty responses. Then use the collection selector to scope your batch and pick Photo Albums in Fill gaps.

Watch a real batch complete: 10 Yandex listings filled with 200 photos. The batch limit controls how many organizations to check. The photo cap controls how many images to collect per organization.

Use the English website link in the CrawlRover channel profile to see supported data types and plans. Recorded in the full website edition with an active subscription. Features and limits depend on the plan.

Missing details in your map research? Use Coverage to see where the gaps are. First, this table shows the results of the selected collection.

All organizations, DB, opens the current organizations in your database. Use this view to work across saved collections. The Coverage variant shows which data has been collected.

Each coverage row represents a business on a particular map. The columns show data types, such as the card, menu and photos. A check mark shows fresh data.

A dot means it has not been requested. An empty circle marks a checked-empty response. The gap column helps you see which cards still have work to do.

I’ll narrow Coverage to a saved collection for this batch. Switch back to Coverage for this collection. Open Fill gaps to choose the data type.

This example selects only Photo Albums. This example uses a batch limit of ten for the selected data type. This action leaves fresh data and recently checked empty responses alone.

Start the bounded batch. Keep its progress and notifications visible at the top. Review the actual outcome: filled fields, empty responses and any reported errors.

Check the gaps in your own list and work through a bounded batch at a time.
