Keyword discovery

The right keywords are the ones you can actually win

Cadence scans your site and niche, pulls measured search volume, difficulty and CPC from a live data provider, and scores every keyword against what your site can realistically rank for.

How it works

  1. 1

    Scan

    We read your site, your niche and your competitors to build a seed list of topics worth owning.

  2. 2

    Measure

    Each keyword gets volume, difficulty and CPC measured by DataForSEO, cached for 30 days so you never pay twice for the same number.

  3. 3

    Score

    Opportunity blends demand against difficulty, so cheap wins rise to the top of the list.

What you get with keyword research

Measured, never faked

Every metric carries its source. Provider data is labelled measured; AI approximations are labelled estimated. You always know which number you're betting on.

Loud failures

If a provider hits its quota or errors, a banner names the provider and the reason. We never quietly swap in invented numbers.

Clusters, not keywords

Variations group under a primary keyword so one article covers the whole cluster instead of competing with itself.

Search Console feedback

Queries you already rank for get de-prioritised, and striking-distance queries at positions 5–20 get promoted.

Pluggable providers

DataForSEO is the primary source. The provider layer is pluggable, so adding or switching a source is a settings change, not a rebuild.

Intent tagging

Informational, commercial, transactional or navigational — so the content plan mixes traffic and revenue.

A calendar that follows your strategy, not ours

Your keyword pool becomes a scheduled plan. Generate a steady drip, batch a launch week, or keep a month quiet — the calendar takes the shape you give it.

Researched first, written second

Every article starts from the keyword's intent and the pages already ranking for it, then gets written in your brand voice with structure, metadata, schema and internal links in place.

New articles grow traffic. Old pages are where you lose it.

Site Coverage crawls the pages you already have, compares them against your real Search Console data, and ranks every finding by the clicks you'd gain from fixing it.
