# Researching keywords, SEO and visibility

Availability: Planned API.
Last reviewed: 2026-08-28.

Research how a business, its pages and its offers appear in search. The planned output is dated keyword, SEO and visibility evidence plus bounded recommendations.

## Define the search context

Provide the domain or business, approved page scope, seed terms, language/locale and device/location context where required. A keyword seed is an input—not an observed search position.

Separate [keyword research](/docs/guides/seo-visibility/keywords), [SEO research](/docs/guides/seo-visibility/seo) and [visibility research](/docs/guides/seo-visibility/visibility). Each needs its own evidence and metric definition.

## Read a durable result

Retain capture time, source, query parameters, inspected pages, observations and missing-result reasons. A backlink finding, technical page issue and local grid position are different measurements.

For example, a report can identify a missing title on an inspected product page while leaving uninspected pages unknown. It must not convert an unsupported location or provider failure into a zero ranking.

## Separate recommendations from changes

Suggested page or content improvements do not authorize website edits, Store publication or a new scan. Refreshing results is explicit work; retrieving a saved report should not start paid acquisition.

## Availability

Business APIs are planned. No ranking guarantee, complete search coverage or raw provider access is promised. General business rank within a territory has its own [measurement contract](/docs/guides/territory-rank), separate from keyword position.
