Google Keyword Expander

Starting from a single list of seed words, it pulls Google autocomplete + Keyword Planner data and returns the related keyword universe for each seed, row by row. Each row includes search volume, CPC in USD, competition score, SEO and paid difficulty, search intent (transactional / commercial / informational / navigational), and the trend series for the last 6 months.

When to use it?

• When you want to extract the keyword universe before starting a new SEO or Google Ads campaign.
• When you need to gather long-tail and intent-based variations from a seed word.
• To see which queries are high-volume but low-difficulty (quick-win) when planning a content calendar.
• To feed the first layer of pipelines such as keyword-traffic-decoder (then forwarded to the SERP fetcher).

Output

A JSON array with consistent keys (each row = one keyword): keyword, country, language, search_volume, cpc_usd, competition, seo_difficulty, paid_difficulty, intent, monthly_trend, seed_origin. Results are sorted descending by search volume, and duplicates across seeds are deduped.

Notes

It supports multiple countries and languages (lowercase ISO codes). It is a FREE tier wrapper for the Apify s-r/google-keywords actor; credentials are taken from the APIFY_API_TOKEN in ~/.claude/.env. Because each seed consumes a separate Apify run, it makes quota-friendly sequential calls.
