Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about TheKeyword.
TheKeyword is a keyword intelligence platform for SEO teams and AI agents. Keyword analysis brings together search volume, CPC, advertiser competition, difficulty and opportunity heuristics, SERP results, related keywords, available monthly history, and intent classification. Coverage and the number of related keywords vary by keyword and provider. Results are available via web dashboard, REST API, MCP server, or agent skills.
TheKeyword provides a REST API and MCP server built for autonomous AI agent workflows. Agents can retrieve keyword metrics, available related keywords, SERP data, and intent classification as typed JSON. Batch limits depend on the plan. Ultra and Enterprise include webhooks for supported events; signals are computed during keyword analysis, with no recurring monitoring.
TheKeyword checks for seven rule-based signals during analysis: breakout, volume surge, volume decline, seasonal peak, seasonal trough, competition gap, and new SERP feature. A competition gap means advertiser competition fell while demand rose. Signals depend on available history and prior snapshots; saved keywords are not continuously monitored.
TheKeyword offers 5 plans: Free ($0, 3 lookups/month), Starter ($19/month, 200 lookups with signal detection), Pro ($49/month, 1,000 lookups with demand forecasting, discovery, and clustering), Ultra ($149/month, 5,000 lookups with webhooks), and Enterprise (custom pricing with 50,000 lookups/month and SLAs). Basic analysis includes available SERP data, related keywords, and metrics. Coverage varies; advanced features follow the plan limits.
TheKeyword is built for both humans and machines. Use the same research data through the dashboard, REST API, or native MCP server, then organize keywords into lists and create contextual content briefs on Pro and above. Trend signals start on Starter; demand forecasts and discovery start on Pro.
Difficulty is a 0–100 heuristic combining advertiser competition and search volume. Use it to compare research candidates, then review the results and your site's strengths. Forecasts project keyword search demand, not visits to your site. The confidence field reflects history length and volatility; it is not a measured probability of forecast accuracy.
