Keyword SEO Agent: A New Paradigm for Revenue-Oriented Keyword Research

Keyword SEO Agent is the first keyword research tool that uses Estimated Monthly Revenue (EMR) instead of search volume as its core scoring criterion. It integrates AI visibility scoring and hyper-local long-tail keyword generation functions, providing intelligent keyword analysis capabilities for Claude Code and OpenClaw. It aims to address the pain point of traditional tools' over-reliance on search volume and achieve a shift from traffic-centric thinking to revenue-centric thinking.

Traditional keyword tools over-rely on search volume as the core metric, but high search volume does not equal high value—for example, a keyword with 10,000 monthly searches but low conversion rate and fierce competition may have far lower commercial value than a long-tail keyword with 500 monthly searches but a 5% conversion rate. Keyword SEO Agent was created to address this pain point, with its core innovation being the replacement of search volume with EMR as the scoring criterion.

Core Philosophy: From Traffic to Revenue

The tool's scoring system is built around commercial returns, with the core being the EMR calculation model: EMR = Search Volume × 30% Organic CTR × CPC × Competition Coefficient × Annual Trend Factor Comprehensive score formula: Comprehensive Score = EMR (log-normalized) ×45% + Ease ×35% + Trend ×20%

Key Features

1. Intent-Driven Conversion Rate Model: Assign different conversion rates based on search intent (navigational, transactional, etc.) to improve evaluation accuracy;
2. AI Visibility Scoring: Classify keywords into high/medium/low visibility categories to adapt to the needs of the AI answer engine era;
3. Hyper-Local Long-Tail Keyword Generation: Generate hyper-local conversational queries (marked as AI~) that traditional tools fail to capture, covering hidden demands.

Output Example Interpretation

Take "hvac repair austin tx" as an example:

• "emergency hvac repair austin" has low search volume (390) but high CPC and low competition, with an EMR of $1927.98 and a comprehensive score of 88.43;
• Informational queries like "how much does hvac repair cost austin" have high AI visibility and strategic exposure value;
• Hyper-local extended keywords (e.g., "emergency hvac repair in cedar park") have low competition and are a blue ocean for local SEO.

Usage Methods

• Claude Code Skill: After installation, call it using the /keyword-agent command;
• Command Line: Run python3 scripts/keyword-agent.py;
• Web Interface: Start the local server and access http://localhost:8765;
• Google Keyword Planner Integration: Drag and drop CSV files to apply the EMR model.
