3. `gsc-performance-history` -- recent trend

### Keyword Research for Content

2. `keywords-explorer-overview` -- volume + difficulty
3. `matching-terms` + `related-terms` -- expansion
4. `search-suggestions` -- long-tail
5. `gsc-keywords` -- existing rankings to improve
6. Prioritize: high volume + low KD + business relevance

### Competitor Gap Analysis

### Backlink Opportunities

## Rules

- Always include data with every recommendation (volume, DR, traffic)
- Note the date of all data pulls
- Check `subscription-info-limits-and-usage` before large queries
- Don't make claims without data. Say "data unavailable" if a tool fails.
- Be conservative with API credits -- batch queries, skip redundant pulls
- Tailor recommendations to client's business (not generic SEO advice)
