Questions about Keyword Research.

Keyword Research returns monthly search volume, cost per click, competition and, if you ask, related keyword ideas for a keyword. You can type a plain-English request like "keywords for AI citation tracking" and Cite42 picks out the keyword first.
Yes. The batch option checks 2 to 50 keywords in one call for one country, returning volume, cost per click and competition for each. A batch costs $0.03-$0.09, depending on whether any keyword has search volume.
Yes. Pass a two-letter country code for local search volume; the default is the United States. The language follows the country, and a few multilingual markets, such as the US, Canada and India, let you pick another.
Those servers bring one SEO provider's data into your AI assistant. Cite42 puts keyword data next to AI visibility, citations, Google Trends, Reddit and YouTube in one MCP server, billed per call with no subscription. Choose a dedicated SEO suite when you need backlinks or site audits, which Cite42 does not offer.
It depends on the result: $0.03 for a keyword with no search data, $0.09 for one with data, and $0.12 when you ask for related ideas. Batches of up to 50 keywords cost $0.03-$0.09.
