No-API-key SEO tools: keyword clustering, search intent, cannibalization, meta checks, briefs.
5 no-API-key SEO tools that work on your data: paste keywords, a Google Search Console export or your titles, and get clusters, intent, cannibalization fixes, CTR checks and content briefs. Everything is deterministic and runs locally. No accounts, no tracking, and no made-up search volumes.
Built by Cygnix Labs.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
cluster_keywords | Groups a keyword list into topical clusters and picks a pillar keyword per cluster (one cluster ≈ one page) |
classify_search_intent | Labels keywords informational / commercial / transactional / navigational, with the matching signal |
find_keyword_cannibalization | Reads GSC CSV (Query + Page) and flags queries where your own pages compete, ranked HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW, with a fix |
check_title_meta | Scores title tags and meta descriptions (0–100): char + pixel truncation, keyword placement, CTR hooks |
content_brief_outline | Builds a brief from your keyword: intent, title options, meta draft, slug, H2 outline, questions to answer, on-page checklist |
Requires Node.js 18+.
