The problem it solves

Keyword research means bouncing between tools to find related terms, suggestions, and search behavior for every topic you want to target. Doing this by hand for every new keyword eats up hours you don't have.

Who it fits

Bloggers, SEO professionals, and content teams planning new content or campaigns.

How it works

  1. You mark a keyword as ready in your Google Sheet and run the automation
  2. It queries the DataForSEO API for related keywords, suggestions, and autocomplete terms
  3. It splits the results into individual keyword records
  4. It appends each result to its own tab and a combined results tab in your sheet
What you get

Related keywords surfaced for content planning

You get related keywords, suggestions, and autocomplete terms for any topic, organized directly into your spreadsheet.

What you get

Organized Google Sheet tabs full of related keywords, suggestions, and autocomplete terms for each keyword you research.

What you need

A DataForSEO API account 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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
