Keyword brief

Goal

A one-screen brief the user can act on: the keywords worth a page, their real numbers, the questions to answer on that page, and where the site stands today.

Required inputs

A seed keyword or topic.
Country and language (default us / en; two-letter codes).
Optional: the user's domain, for rank checks.

Before spending

Call citable_prices (free) once per session.
A brief costs about $0.005 (suggest) + $0.03 (metrics for up to 20 keywords) + $0.012 per rank check. Ask before more than 3 rank checks.
Failed calls are never charged.

Tools

citable_keyword_suggest(seed, country?, lang?, depth?, limit?, sources?) — $0.005. Autocomplete expansions from Google, YouTube and Bing: suggestions[] and questions[], each scored 0–1.
citable_keyword_metrics(keywords, country?, lang?) — $0.03 for 1–20 keywords in one call: volume, CPC, competition, difficulty, intent. Unknown keywords come back with null metrics — report them as "no data", not zero.
citable_rank_check(keyword, domain, gl?, hl?, num?) — $0.012. Google position of the domain plus the top 10.

Workflow

citable_keyword_suggest with depth: 2. Pick up to 20 keywords: the seed, its strongest head terms, and 5–8 questions[] — questions become the page's headings later.
citable_keyword_metrics once, with all 20 in one comma-separated call. One batch costs the same as one keyword; never call it per keyword.
If a domain was given: citable_rank_check on the top 3 by volume × intent fit.
Output:
- Table: keyword · volume · difficulty · intent · current position (or —).
- The 3–5 questions worth answering on the page, verbatim from questions[].
- One recommendation: which keyword the page should target and why.
- Total spent, from the _payment fields.

Guardrails

Do not pad the list with keywords you made up; every row must come from a tool result.
Country and language must match the market the user sells in — ask if unclear.
Rank checks are per keyword; do not loop them over the whole list without asking.
