Questions & answers

What is an AI keyword research tool and how does this one work? #

Paste a seed topic — what your site, product, or service is about — pick a style (content / commercial / local / informational / mixed), pick a market (US / UK / global-EN / anywhere), and you get back 20-40 keyword ideas grouped into 3-6 topic clusters. Every keyword is tagged with search intent, a volume tier, a difficulty tier, and a recommended content type. On top of the main list you get quick wins (your first 30-day targets), pillar-page recommendations, content-gap opportunities, and implementation strategy notes. The whole thing runs on an SEO-tuned LLM — no signup needed for the first few runs.

Are the search volume numbers real, or are they guesses? #

They are honest tier estimates, not real numbers — and we are explicit about this. Instead of fake precision like "49,300 searches / month" (which competitors often invent), we use a 4-tier scale: low (<500/mo), medium (500-5k), high (5k-50k), very-high (50k+). These are based on LLM training data through 2025, so they are directionally useful for planning but NOT suitable for committing a $10k pillar-content budget. Every run reminds you to verify tier=high and tier=very-high keywords in Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, or SEMrush before building heavy content around them. Tools that invent specific volume numbers are lying to you.

What do the difficulty tiers mean? #

Four tiers reflecting SERP competition, not volume. Easy: few authoritative sites ranking, long-tail question-format, fresh topic — a new site can compete in 2-3 months. Medium: some competition but clear room for a well-executed page in 4-6 months. Hard: incumbents have multi-year ranking pages with strong backlinks — you need real differentiation. Very-hard: dominated by brands (Amazon, Wikipedia, Healthline, Nike) — nearly un-rankable for a new site. Difficulty does NOT always correlate with volume. Low-volume questions can be hard if SERPs are dominated by Reddit threads with great user signals, and high-volume commercial terms can be medium if the incumbents have thin, outdated content.

Why cluster the keywords instead of just giving me a list? #

Google rewards topical authority — sites that cover a topic comprehensively rank better than sites that target isolated keywords. Clusters group 4-8 related keywords that should live together on one page, in a pillar + supporting-posts structure, or in a category-subcategory hierarchy. Flat lists of 30 random keywords lead to 30 disconnected pages that compete with each other (keyword cannibalization) and never build authority. Clusters make the site architecture obvious: one pillar per cluster, 3-6 supporting pages per pillar, internal links flowing from supporters up to the pillar.

What are quick wins for? #

Quick wins are the 2-5 keywords you should attack FIRST — your first 30-day SEO budget. We select them using four criteria: (a) volume tier medium or higher (worth the effort), (b) difficulty tier easy or medium (realistically winnable), (c) clear intent (you know what page type to build), (d) the content type is achievable in one well-structured page. Attacking quick wins first builds early momentum and internal linking equity that helps your harder pillar pages rank faster later. New sites that spend their first 3 months chasing very-hard pillar terms almost always stall out; quick-win-first strategies ship results.

How is this different from SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Keyword Planner? #

Totally different tool category. Those are data tools — they give you real search volumes, real backlink counts, real SERP rankings, real CPCs, scraped from actual search engines. They cost $100-400/month and are essential for serious SEO work. This tool is an idea generator — it uses LLM training to brainstorm 20-40 keyword ideas you might not have thought of, cluster them, and recommend a content strategy. Use them together: this tool for ideation and clustering, a data tool for validation before you commit budget. They are complements, not substitutes.

What does the style setting do? #

Style shapes the keyword mix. Content: blog / editorial keywords, long-tail emphasis, content-cluster architecture, minimal product keywords. Commercial: product / category / "best X" / "X vs Y" / review / pricing keywords, with ~25% informational top-of-funnel support. Local: geo-modified service keywords ("[service] [city]", "near me", "cost in [city]") for local businesses targeting the local pack and Google Business Profile. Informational: how-to / explainer / People-Also-Ask-style almost entirely, for building topical authority and earning PAA boxes. Mixed: balanced full-funnel set, ~40% informational / 25% commercial / 20% transactional / 15% navigational — the safe default.

What are compliance flags? #

Warnings for when your brief hints at a high-stakes category. YMYL (your-money-your-life: health, finance, legal): Google demands author credentials, original research, medical review where relevant — tough for new sites. Regulated categories (supplements, CBD, cannabis, crypto, gambling): Google Ads / Facebook Ads / affiliate programs have platform-specific restrictions, and disclaimers are often required. Named competitor brands with trademark: avoid direct "your brand vs {theirs}" page titles that can trigger takedown requests — use "vs alternatives" framing instead. Age-restricted or protected-category targeting: legal and ad-platform restrictions vary by country. If any of these apply to your topic, we flag them clearly so you can plan around the compliance cost.

Does it support non-US markets and non-English keywords? #

Yes. Pick "UK" for British spelling and UK-specific terminology (UK volumes are typically ~15% of US volumes for commercial topics, closer to parity for local services). Pick "global-EN" for aggregate English-speaking markets (US, UK, Canada, Australia, India — use US spelling as the neutral default). Pick "anywhere" and describe your market in the notes field to get keywords in another language — Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and more — with native terminology and market-scaled tier estimates. The output tags (intent, volume tier, etc.) stay in English for consistency; the keywords themselves match your target market language.

How many free runs do I get? #

First 3 runs per day are free without signup. Free accounts get 30 credits/month; each keyword research run costs 2 credits. Pro accounts get 1,500 credits/month — enough to plan content for dozens of sites or product lines per month.
