Before you start

What can I do with TheKeyword?

Research relevant keywords, compare the evidence and build a content plan for your website or client. Projects keep your business context together; plans save your priorities, reasons, progress and published URLs. Export a handoff or generate contextual content briefs on Pro and above.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. Free includes 3 research credits per month and one saved list. You can analyze topics, save a manual shortlist and export your plan without a credit card. The sample plan shows the full workflow. Discovery and generated content briefs require Pro or above.

How do research credits work?

A keyword analysis, discovery request or content brief uses one research credit when available on your plan. Batch analysis uses a credit per keyword. Free includes 3 credits per month, Starter 200 for $19 per month, Pro 1,000 for $49 per month and Ultra 5,000 for $149 per month. Creating projects, organizing plans and reading saved work use no research credits. Costs are shown before paid actions.

Will you publish content or change my website?

No. You decide what to pursue and publish. Website and page URLs provide planning context; creating a project does not crawl or change your site. Briefs are drafts to review, and internal link suggestions use the page references you supply.

How should I interpret the research data?

Coverage varies by keyword, market and provider. Data details show available sources and dates. Difficulty is a heuristic based on advertiser competition and search volume, not a guarantee of organic ranking ability. Demand forecasts do not predict visits to your website. Saved analysis findings are not continuous trend alerts.

Can my team use the API or AI agents?

Yes. TheKeyword supports the web app, REST API, MCP server and agent skills. Existing research and list workflows remain available through the API. Use your own authenticated account; project records are private to their owner. Plan limits apply to each interface. Shared team workspaces are not included.
