chocholous doesaiknow SEO suite
A family of native-data, pay-per-event Apify Actors for SEO and AI-search work. Pick the right Actor for the user's goal, run it, and return the dataset. All run under limited permissions and bill only on success.
Prerequisites
- Apify account (sign up)
- Authentication via one of:
apify login(OAuth, if using the Apify CLI)APIFY_TOKENenvironment variable- Token from Apify Console → Settings → Integrations
Workflow
- Understand the user's goal and pick the Actor(s) from the routing table below.
- Fetch the Actor's input schema (via MCP or its Store page) and build a valid input.
- Run the Actor; if a scan is large/paid, confirm the estimated cost with the user first.
- Deliver results — count, a short summary of the key fields, and the dataset/console link.

Calling Actors — choose your interface
Cross-tool compatibility is your responsibility. Use whichever fits your runtime.
Option A: Apify CLI (recommended for portability)
Three flags on every call:
apify actors call "doesaiknow/doesaiknow-keyword-metrics-apify" \
-i '{"keywords":["keyword research","seo tools"],"country":"us","language":"en"}' \
--json \
--user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-doesaiknow-seo-suite \
2>/dev/null
| Flag | Why |
|---|---|
--json |
Stable machine-readable output |
--user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-doesaiknow-seo-suite |
Apify telemetry attribution |
2>/dev/null |
Suppress progress messages that break JSON |
Option B: Apify MCP server
The Actors are exposed as tools via the Apify MCP server; call by Actor ID with a JSON input. The MCP server also exposes each Actor's input schema — read it to discover every option.
Actor inputs & examples
Confirm the full input via each Actor's input schema; the load-bearing fields are below.
Keyword Metrics Pro — Google + Bing volume, CPC, competition, 12-month trend.
{"keywords":["best crm","crm software"],"country":"us","language":"en"}
AI Keyword Clustering Tool — clusters + topical map (businessContext required).
{"keywords":["best crm","crm for startups"],"businessContext":"CRM software for SMBs","country":"us"}
Competitor Keyword Research — mode:"ranked" for their keywords; "gap" + compareToDomain for the gap.
{"target":"competitor.com","mode":"ranked","maxKeywords":250}
Backlink Checker API — mode: summary | referring_domains | competitor_gap. Prefer referring domains over raw backlink counts.
{"domain":"example.com","mode":"summary"}
AI Brand Visibility Tracker — share of voice vs competitors across AI engines.
{"brand":"HubSpot","category":"CRM software","competitors":["Salesforce","Zoho"],"queries":["best CRM 2026","HubSpot alternatives"],"platforms":["chatgpt","perplexity","gemini"],"language":"us","tier":"pro_auditor"}
tier:"demo"is free but only serves pre-seeded showcase brands (HubSpot, Salesforce, Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz). For any other brand usetier:"pro_auditor"(billed per query) with ≥3 queries.
Amazon Keyword Research Tool — mode: search_volume | related_keywords | reverse_asin.
{"mode":"search_volume","keywords":["wireless earbuds","yoga mat"],"country":"us"}
{"mode":"reverse_asin","asin":"B0BDHWDR12","country":"us","maxKeywords":100}
reverse_asin returns every keyword an ASIN ranks for + position (the Helium 10 "Cerebro" use case). Amazon
volume is estimated; reverse-ASIN positions are factual.
Chained workflows
- Content/SEO plan: Keyword Metrics Pro (volume/CPC) → AI Keyword Clustering (topical map) → one page per cluster.
- Competitor teardown: Competitor Keyword Research (ranked + gap) → Backlink Checker (referring domains) → Keyword Metrics Pro on the gap keywords.
- AEO / AI-search audit: AI Brand Visibility Tracker on buyer-intent queries → see which competitors AIs cite → act on the cited sources.
- Amazon listing: Amazon
search_volumeon seed terms +reverse_asinon top competitor ASINs → build the listing keywords.
Cost & safety
- Every Actor is pay-per-event — billed only on a successful run, never on failed/empty runs. Warn the user before a large/paid scan.
- Cap inputs (
maxKeywords, keyword-list size) to keep cost predictable; free Apify plans are limited per run. - Actors run under limited permissions — they only call their data API and write your dataset; they never touch the rest of the Apify account.
