What it does
Keyword Chef discovers and filters keyword ideas, supports wildcard searches and highlights selected result types in SERP previews. Reports are saved for later review and can be shared with a writer or team.
Keyword Chef lets you preview returned keywords before spending credits on the rows you want. Each purchased row includes its search-volume information and associated result analysis. Reports are saved automatically under My Reports and remain available after cancelling a subscription.
There are two credit types. Pay-as-you-go credits never expire, while monthly credits expire at the end of the billing period without rolling over. When both are available, monthly credits are used first. Subscriptions also include features such as domain-age data, Niche Insights and priority bulk SERP analysis.
For occasional article planning, non-expiring credits avoid a monthly deadline. A publisher doing regular research may prefer the subscription extras. Registration asks for a name, email, website and password; saved reports then provide a place to return to the selected keywords.
