what does "site-seeded" mean for keyword research
Site-seeded means the tool starts from your live pages and site structure as the seed corpus. Recommendations are tied to existing URLs, so gaps point to specific pages to update or expand.

what it does
site-seeded keyword research, explained
Start with your own site to find what is missing and what to expand. The workflow uses pages you already publish as the seed for discovering topic gaps and new content angles.
Keyword Research is in development. The feature will not display live volume, difficulty, intent, clustering, or DataForSEO data until the grounding corpus verifies those signals. Expect a focus on site coverage, page-level gaps, and actionable tasks rather than provisional metrics.
- benefit: see gaps tied to real pages so recommendations map to existing site structure
- benefit: prioritize updates and new pages based on coverage rather than raw search volume
- benefit: convert findings directly into briefs and draft content that fits approval workflows
process
how site-seeded research works in practice
Connect the site and let the crawler build a seed corpus from your live pages, headings, and metadata. The tool matches your pages to topic areas and highlights where coverage is absent or thin.
After review, convert selected opportunities into content tasks or draft outlines that move into your editorial queue. Because the starting point is your site, each recommendation links back to a page or URL for targeted action.
- step 1. connect the site or upload a sitemap
- step 2. review detected seed topics and mapped pages
- step 3. flag gaps and mark priorities
- step 4. export or convert items into briefs and drafts
site-seeded vs manual research
compare site-seeded discovery with traditional keyword research
Site-seeded research ties recommendations to your content and structure, so suggested topics map directly to pages to update or replace. It reduces the friction of turning findings into editorial tasks.
Manual research tools excel at deep volume and difficulty analysis and independent keyword discovery. Those tools remain useful for market-level context. The site-seeded approach complements manual tools by focusing on coverage gaps and content actionability tied to your site.
- site-seeded benefit. direct mapping from recommendations to existing pages
- manual research strength. detailed external metrics and broad keyword lists
- combined approach. use site-seeded insights to prioritize, then validate with external tools when needed
when to use it
practical uses for a website keyword research tool
Audit content to find missing coverage before an overhaul. The site-seeded view spots thin topic areas and sections that need more depth or consolidation.
Plan pillar pages and internal linking by grouping related gaps around core pages. Use prioritized tasks generated from the tool to assign writing work and schedule publishing.
- audit site coverage and reduce page overlap
- discover topics to expand pillar pages and clusters
- turn opportunities into briefs that flow into the approval queue
- feed drafts into the AutoSEO blog engine and social draft workflows
get started
prepare your site for a connected keyword review
Collect a sitemap or a list of canonical URLs to speed the initial crawl. Identify high-priority sections you want evaluated first, such as product pages or blog categories.
Sign up to request early access or to be notified when the site-seeded keyword research feature moves out of development. Meanwhile, you can use existing Get Found tools and content workflows to address known gaps manually.
- prepare a sitemap or URL list before you connect
- mark high-value pages to prioritize the first pass
- request early access to follow the feature rollout
- use current content and posting workflows to act on immediate opportunities
Questions for this workflow
Frequently asked questions
is keyword volume or difficulty included
Keyword Research is in development. It will not provide live volume, difficulty, intent, clustering, or DataForSEO data until the grounding corpus verifies those signals. Early results focus on coverage and page-level gaps.
how does this integrate with content workflows
Prioritized opportunities can be converted into content briefs, editorial tasks, or draft outlines. Drafts enter a single approval queue and publish at best times for connected accounts once approved.
how do you handle data privacy for my site crawl
Crawls use the connection you authorize and process data to produce recommendations. Standard access controls apply and you may remove or revoke access at any time. We do not publish your private crawl data.
