Why Pylon keyword research

A list you can actually win from.

Most keyword tools give you volume + difficulty. Pylon adds AI-answer overlap, intent classification and an opportunity score that accounts for your domain strength.

Opportunity score, not raw difficulty

Volume × intent × your domain strength × AI-answer risk in one 0–100 score — not a global coefficient that ignores your site.

AI-answer overlap flagged upfront

When an AI Overview is already answering a query inline, the click pool shrinks. Pylon flags it before you brief — not after you ship.

Intent classified per idea

Every keyword idea is classified as informational, commercial or transactional so you brief the right content type the first time.

300 ideas per seed, instant

Expand any seed keyword into 300+ clustered ideas with volume, difficulty and intent in one deterministic view — no API key needed.

Demand ground truth

A list full of numbers is not a list you can win.

Raw volume dumps give every planner the same list. Pylon verifies demand per market, scores difficulty against your domain, and flags AI-answer overlap before you invest — so your brief targets what's actually winnable.

The old way

Global difficulty nobody can win, unverified volume, same list as every competitor.

The Pylon way

Opportunity scored per your domain, AI-overlap priced in, intent classified — before you brief.

AI-answer overlap

Brief for clicks, not just rankings.

40%+ of Google queries now show an AI Overview. A keyword with 10K searches and an AI panel answering it completely may deliver fewer clicks than one with 1K searches and no AI competition. Pylon flags both scenarios before you write a word.

FAQ

Keyword research questions, answered

How difficulty is scored, what AI overlap does, and how to export your list.

Pylon anchors difficulty to the domains and backlink profiles that actually rank for a query, plus your own domain strength — not a global coefficient. High difficulty for an authority site is not the same difficulty as for your niche blog.

When AI Overviews answer a query inline, the click pool shrinks even from a top-three ranking. The overlap flag prices that correctly before you invest in content and routes the query to the AI-visibility module where it belongs.

The engine expands the seed using topic templates (questions, comparisons, modifiers, local variants) and scores each idea deterministically against the same volume and difficulty model — so results are reproducible and instant with no API cost.

Yes — on Growth and above you can enable AI trending ideas alongside the estimated set. AI-sourced keywords are labeled with source="ai" and their demand metrics are estimated, never fabricated.

Yes — clusters export as CSV with intent, opportunity score and suggested title structure. The Growth plan adds REST API access so briefs flow straight into your CMS or content pipeline.
