How it works
- Enter a seed keyword or paste a list of terms (for example
crm software). - The tool analyzes commercial signals and competition cues in each phrase.
- It scores value and difficulty, then clusters related terms into ad-group sets.
- You get a grouped, scored list ready to shape a paid campaign structure.
What it shows
- Commercial value score — how strongly a term signals buying intent.
- Competition estimate — relative difficulty of bidding on the keyword.
- Intent signals — words like buy, price, software and quote that lift value.
- Ad-group clusters — related keywords grouped for tight campaign structure.
- High-value terms — the phrases most worth prioritizing for paid traffic.
- Low-value filters — informational terms better suited to organic content.
Common use cases
- Planning ad groups — start a campaign from clustered, scored terms.
- Prioritizing budget — focus spend on high commercial-value keywords.
- Filtering keyword lists — strip out research terms unlikely to convert.
- Comparing opportunities — weigh value against competition before bidding.
Example
Enter project management tool and the tool might score buy project management software as high value and group it with project management tool pricing into one ad group, while flagging what is project management as low value for paid traffic.
