Exactly how you would do this will depend on your coding environment. Specifically, what language are you coding this project in? Before you get to that, though, you need to know that the Web Search (AJAX) API's estimatedResultCount and the Custom Search API's (CSAPI) totalResults will NOT be identical to the result tallies displayed in a google.com search. In fact, I would not rely on them at all for something truly mission critical, as it would be in the case of SEO. Speaking of SEO, you should also note that the TOS for the AJAX API prohibits the use of robots, crawlers, and other applications which would utilize automated results, and there are automated throttling mechanisms in place to enforce that term. And the CSAPI has a limit of 100 complimentary requests per day, expandable to 10,000 requests per day if you enable billing and pay USD5 per 1000 requests (for a total of up to USD50 per day). In other words, neither API will be great if you're using this for SEO purposes.
