Keyword Research
Turns a seed topic into a ranked content plan with real Google volume, CPC, intent and keyword clusters.

What it does
- Expands your seed: pulls up to ~200 keyword ideas from Google Ads based on a seed term and/or your URL.
- Adds real metrics: monthly volume, competition, CPC range and 12-month trend — with a hard rule against inventing numbers.
- Optional enrichment: if DataForSEO tools are available, adds search intent, keyword difficulty and SERP features for the top ~50 keywords; otherwise skips silently.
- Checks existing rankings: uses Search Console query data to flag keywords you already rank for (optimize, don't create).
- Clusters and prioritizes: pillar + supporting page groups, ranked by volume × winnability (striking-distance positions first).
Who it's for
- Content marketers and in-house SEOs building a keyword plan
- Founders mapping keywords for a brand-new site
- Paid search managers who also want CPC and negative-keyword input
Examples
- "Do keyword research for 'standing desk'" → idea list → volume/CPC table → 3-4 intent clusters with an attack order.
- "What should example.com rank for?" → URL-seeded ideas cross-checked against current Search Console positions.
- "Build a keyword plan for B2B onboarding software" → informational vs commercial split, one pillar page plus supporting articles.
