The problem it solves

Manual keyword research means jumping between tools, copying numbers by hand, and losing track of what you already checked. You need fresh data on demand without opening a dozen browser tabs.

Who it fits

SEO agencies, marketers, or content creators who need quick keyword data for planning.

How it works

  1. You submit a keyword and target country through a simple form
  2. The automation queries the Semrush keyword research API for that keyword and country
  3. It pulls back search volume, competition, and related keyword suggestions
  4. The results are appended as a new row in your Google Sheet
What you get

Keyword search volume ready for planning

You get search volume, competition, and related keyword suggestions for any keyword and country, saved directly to a spreadsheet.

What you get

An updated Google Sheet row with search volume, competition, and related keyword data for each keyword you research.

What you need

A Semrush subscription (via RapidAPI) and a Google account with Sheets access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
