## Quick stats

Four cards summarize the keyword landscape:

* **Similar Keywords** — count of closely related keywords
* **Related Keywords** — count of semantically related keywords
* **Question Keywords** — count of question-format variations
* **Total Keywords** — combined total found

## Keyword tabs

### Similar Keywords

Keywords closely matching your search term — variations, long-tail versions, and synonyms.

### Related Keywords

Semantically related keywords that share topical relevance but may use different phrasing.

### Question Keywords

Question-format keywords (how, what, why, where, when, which) — these are especially valuable for AI search because they mirror how users query AI models.

<Tip>
  Question keywords are particularly valuable for AI visibility. AI models are designed to answer questions, so tracking and creating content for question-format prompts often yields the best results.
</Tip>

Each keyword tab shows a table with:

| Column            | Description                             |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Keyword**       | The keyword text                        |
| **Search Volume** | Monthly search volume                   |
| **CPC**           | Cost per click                          |
| **Trend**         | Sparkline showing 12-month search trend |
| **Intent**        | Search intent classification            |

## Advanced filters

* **Search Volume Range** — slider to set minimum and maximum volume
* **CPC Range** — slider to set CPC bounds
* **Search Intent** — checkboxes for informational, commercial, navigational, transactional
* **Trend Direction** — filter by keywords trending up, down, or stable
