Research in the information society is one of the important tasks. The process of researching various matters daily, summarizing search results, and storing them in a database is a common task, isn't it?
In this context, we focus on collecting corporate information and integrated Notion with Google Search to automate searching and summarizing!
First, let's introduce the specific benefits of integrating these tools.

Benefits of Using Notion and Google Search Together

1. Increased Efficiency

With this integration, Google Search is automatically performed based on keywords added to Notion, and the content can be automatically summarized. Furthermore, the summarized search results are added to Notion, automating the research workflow.
Searches are completed quickly, and a significant increase in efficiency can be expected.

2. Reduced Workload

This integration eliminates the need to manually search and summarize, reducing the workload.
If research is automated, resources can be allocated to other tasks. This can lead to more free time and ultimately improve the working environment.

a.ohta
After working as a general store manager, I started working from home as an SEO writer. Later, an outsourcing agreement was signed with a marketing startup for about 5 years. Surrounded by students at the University of Tokyo, I held a computer and spent my days studying various business terms and how to use SaaS tools. When I was a general store manager, time was taken over and over again by office work such as sales and inventory management, human resource management, and ordering, etc., and I was unable to serve customers and often missed sales times. Even when outsourcing, there are many detailed tasks such as input, etc., and “can't such monotonous tasks be automated?” I thought so, and I really sympathize with Yoom's vision!
