KeyScout: Keyword Planner & AI Prompt Research by Vryse

Keyword Planner volumes and CPC, AI-picked target keywords for any page, and AI prompt research. In your browser sidebar.

KeyScout is a keyword research tool and AI prompt research assistant that lives in your Chrome sidebar. Get search volume, CPC bid ranges, competition and 12-month trends for any keyword, see which keywords the page you're on should target, and find the prompts people ask ChatGPT and other AI assistants about your market, without leaving the tab you're working in. Built by Vryse, a GEO and AI visibility agency, KeyScout brings classic SEO keyword research and AI search visibility work into one free extension. Use it without an account, or sign in with a one-time email code for higher daily limits. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH KEYSCOUT ✅ Research keywords with real search volume, CPC bid ranges, competition and monthly trends ✅ Find the target keywords for any web page in one click, ranked by revenue potential ✅ Turn keyword data into AI prompts worth tracking for AI visibility and GEO ✅ Shortlist keywords and prompts, group them into projects and clusters, and export CSV ✅ Research any of 35 countries and 21 languages, with bids shown in local currency ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔍 1. KEYWORD RESEARCH WITH SEARCH VOLUME, CPC AND TRENDS Type a seed keyword, choose a country and language, and press Enter. KeyScout returns hundreds of related keyword ideas, each with: • Average monthly search volume • A 12-month trend line, so you can spot seasonal keywords and rising topics at a glance • Competition level (Low, Medium, High) for paid search • Top-of-page bid range (low to high CPC), converted into the currency of the country you're researching Add up to 10 seed keywords at once, separated by commas, to explore a whole topic in one search. Sort by volume, competition or bid, filter the list by any word, and tick the keywords you want to keep. Your shortlist stays highlighted as you scroll, so it's easy to build a focused list of long-tail keywords for a blog post, a landing page or a product category. KeyScout is useful for SEO keyword research and for PPC keyword research alike. SEO teams use the volume and trend data to choose content topics and prioritise pages; paid search teams use the CPC ranges and competition to estimate costs and find cheaper long-tail opportunities. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 2. AUTO DETECT: THE KEYWORDS THIS PAGE SHOULD TARGET Open any website, open the KeyScout sidebar and click Analyse. In a few seconds KeyScout works out: • What the business sells, by reading the page's menu, product names, headings, description and content • Which country its customers are in, from prices, currency, shipping details, phone numbers, addresses and language, rather than from the domain name alone • Which keywords the page should target, and which it already uses in its title, H1, headings and body Most keyword tools rank ideas by search volume. KeyScout ranks them by revenue potential: how well the page matches the search, how likely the searcher is to become a paying customer, and how valuable the keyword is in the market (search volume plus what advertisers pay for it). Each page gets a primary target keyword and a set of secondary keywords to work into the copy. KeyScout also filters out the noise that confuses other on-page SEO tools: 🚫 Shop interface text such as "add to cart", "quick view" or "regular price" 🚫 The business's own brand name, which it usually ranks for already 🚫 Related topics it doesn't actually sell, such as competitor products it doesn't stock 🚫 Unrelated searches that only share a word with the page Every keyword is tagged Buyer, Mixed, Research, Stocked brand, Related or Brand, so you can see at a glance which searches bring customers and which only bring visitors. It works on e-commerce stores, service businesses, SaaS sites and local businesses, which makes it a fast way to audit a client's site, check a competitor's landing page or plan keywords for a page before you write it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤖 3. PROMPT RESEARCH FOR AI VISIBILITY (GEO AND AEO) More people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and other AI assistants for recommendations instead of searching. If your brand isn't mentioned in those answers, you're invisible to those buyers. Generative engine optimisation (GEO), also called answer engine optimisation (AEO) or AI search optimisation, starts with knowing which prompts matter. Enter a theme, for example "running shoes" or "online therapy", and KeyScout: • Pulls related keyword data for your chosen country and language • Groups 2 to 3 closely related keywords that express the same need • Turns each group into a natural prompt a real person might ask an AI assistant, such as "What are the best trail running shoes for beginners?" • Adds up the search volume and trend of the keywords behind each prompt, so you can see which prompts carry the most demand • Labels each prompt by intent: commercial, informational, transactional, local or comparison Edit any prompt before you save it, pick the ones worth tracking, and save them to a project. Use the list to monitor your brand's AI visibility, brief content that AI assistants will cite, and report AI search opportunities to clients. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📁 4. PROJECTS, CLUSTERS AND CSV EXPORT Keep your research organised as you go: • Save shortlisted keywords and prompts to projects, one per client, website or campaign • Group keywords into clusters inside each project, for keyword clustering by topic, page or intent • Move keywords between clusters, rename clusters and remove keywords you no longer need • See the total search volume of each cluster • Export keywords or prompts to CSV, with search volume, competition, bids and month-by-month data, ready for Google Sheets or Excel Projects are saved to your account, so your keyword lists are there whenever you open the sidebar. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 5. 35 COUNTRIES, 21 LANGUAGES, LOCAL CURRENCIES KeyScout supports keyword research for 35 countries, including India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Turkey, plus worldwide research.

Yes. You can use it without an account, and signing in with your email is free and raises your daily limits. 👉 Where does the keyword data come from? Search volume, competition and bid ranges come from the Google Ads API, the same source advertisers use to plan campaigns. Volumes are monthly averages, and the trend shows the last 12 months. 👉 Do I need a Google Ads account? No. KeyScout fetches the data for you; you don't need an ad account, a billing setup or a running campaign. 👉 How is KeyScout different from other keyword research tools? Most keyword tools stop at search volume. KeyScout also tells you which keywords a specific page should target, ranks them by how likely the searcher is to buy, filters out brand and interface noise, and turns keyword data into AI prompts for GEO and AI visibility work, all from the sidebar. 👉 What is GEO or AI visibility? Generative engine optimisation (GEO) is the work of getting your brand mentioned and recommended in answers from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. Prompt research tells you which questions to track and optimise for. 👉 Does KeyScout track my rankings in ChatGPT? KeyScout finds and organises the prompts worth tracking, with the demand behind each one. It doesn't run the prompts in AI assistants for you. For hands-on help with AI visibility, use the Book a call link in the sidebar. 👉 Which keyword does Auto detect pick as the primary target? The keyword with the best combination of page match, buyer intent and market value, among keywords for things the business actually sells. You'll also see where it already appears on the page. 👉 Why does Auto detect use a different country from the one I selected? It looks at who the website sells to, for example prices in Australian dollars or an Australian phone number, and researches that market. The country dropdown switches to show it, and one click takes you back to your own country. 👉 Can I export my keywords? Yes. Export any search results, page analysis or project to CSV with search volume, competition, bids and monthly data. 👉 Does it work in languages other than English? Yes. Choose from 21 languages, or type your keyword in another script and KeyScout switches automatically. 👉 What happens to my data if I uninstall? Uninstalling stops all data collection. To delete your account and saved projects, email support@vryse.co. 👉 Something isn't working. Who do I contact? Email support@vryse.co and we'll help. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💜 ABOUT VRYSE KeyScout is made by Vryse (vryse.co), a GEO and AI visibility agency that helps brands get found and recommended in AI search and traditional search.
