SEO and content planning

- Related keywords to expand clusters.
- SERP lookups to see who ranks in the top 100 and why the page likely wins.
PPC intelligence
- Paid keyword portfolios for competitor domains.
- Who bids on a given keyword.
- Batch analysis for up to 100 keywords at once.
Market sizing and geo
- Traffic estimation and multi-country databases to choose markets.
Example prompts
- “Show me the keyword gap vs nike.com for running shoes in the UK. Prioritize high intent and realistic difficulty.”
- “List 30 related keywords around ‘carbon plate trainers’. Group by theme and mark likely search intent.”
- “Who is bidding on ‘trail running shoes’ and what other paid terms do they protect?”
- “Which referring domains link to my top competitors but not to us?”
Using a Google Sheet as source of truth
If you want the agent to use external or offline data:
- Paste the Sheet link in chat with open sharing.
- Specify the timeframe and the tab to use.
- Ask questions about that data, or ask the agent to blend in with Google Ads or SEMrush insights.
Tip: Keep column names clean and consistent. The fewer ambiguities, the faster the agent answers. You can follow this template (opens in a new tab) for reference.
Guardrails and tips
- Warm up the agent with account context first. It answers faster and more precisely.
- Be explicit about time ranges and currency.
- When you paste a GSheet, always name the tab to avoid confusion.
- Prefer concrete asks: “Flag terms over ₹X spend and ROAS under Y in the last Z days” beats “I need CPC data for the account.”
