Scrapbook

Save URLs and notes from anywhere on the web—competitor pages, forum threads, blog posts—for your AEO and discovery workflow.

Overview

Scrapbook (/scrapbook) is your research inbox inside Obsurfable. Save URLs and short notes from LinkedIn posts, competitor pages, blog articles, or any source you find useful for AEO and GEO strategy. Add notes on entries to capture observations, ideas, or action items.

Use Scrapbook for anything you discover manually while browsing — competitor citations, forum threads, or inspiration for content.

Who it's for

  • Any Obsurfable user (available on Free and Pro) building a personal or team research library
  • Content strategists collecting inspiration, competitor examples, and citation sources
  • Teams running the Discover workflow who need one place for findings that do not fit a prompt run

Prerequisites

  1. A signed-in Obsurfable account with a completed company profile.
  2. No plan upgrade required—Scrapbook is available on Free and Pro.

Step-by-step

Add a scrapbook entry

  1. Go to Scrapbook in the sidebar or navigate to /scrapbook.
  2. Click Add entry.
  3. Enter a URL (optional), a short note about why it matters (optional)—at least one is required.
  4. Save the entry. It appears at the top of your active list, sorted by most recently updated.

Add a note on an entry

  1. On any scrapbook card, click Annotate (or edit an existing note).
  2. Write your observation, idea, or follow-up action.
  3. Save—the note appears on the entry.

Organize with archive

  1. Archive entries you no longer need in the active list—click Archive on the entry card.
  2. Toggle Show archived to view or restore archived entries.
  3. Restoring moves an entry back to your active scrapbook.

Use scrapbook in your workflow

  1. When Insights surface external citation gaps, save competitor or third-party URLs you want to study.
  2. Reference scrapbook notes when drafting Content or planning outreach.
  3. Save sources cited in prompt runs for long-term tracking.

Tips

  • Add a one-line note when saving a URL—future you will not remember why you bookmarked it.
  • Use entry notes for deeper analysis (positioning angles, quote ideas, outreach drafts)—keep the entry note short and the annotation detailed.
  • Archive instead of deleting—restoring is easy if a source becomes relevant again.
  • Save competitor comparison pages and FAQ URLs when Monitor shows them cited in AI answers.
