A desktop app for Windows and Mac

Keyword research shouldn't be a subscription.

Type one seed keyword. KeywordOrbit pulls the long-tail searches Google Autocomplete suggests for it, up to 50,000 or more from a broad seed, then adds search volume, CPC and trend, and sorts them into topics. You pay once and keep it.

Where the keywords come from

Every result is something a real person typed into Google.

KeywordOrbit doesn't guess from a database. It asks Google Autocomplete, the way you would by typing, for your seed followed by every letter and digit, then every pair, then every three. Prefix mode does the same in front of your seed.

Google lookups per mode, per seed. Each returns up to 10 suggestions Google shows real people.

What you do with them

From a raw list to a plan, in the same window.

Numbers on every row, groups you can write pages for, and filters that cut tens of thousands of keywords down to the ones worth your time.

Search volume

Real Google numbers on every row.

Click Get Search Volume and each keyword fills in with monthly searches, CPC range and competition. Planner mode reads Google Keyword Planner through your own Google Ads account at no cost. API mode uses credits and returns exact monthly numbers for any list.

  • API mode: exact volumes and monthly trends, no Google account needed
  • Search volume for 218 countries

Clustering

Your list, sorted into pages worth writing.

One click groups the keywords by Topic, by Questions or by Intent. Each group shows how many keywords it holds, their combined monthly searches and CPC, so you can see which themes deserve a page first.

  • Combined volume per group
  • Ready for content plans, silos and ad groups
Cluster by Topic
Filters

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Where do the keywords come from?

Live from Google Autocomplete: the searches Google suggests to real people as they type. KeywordOrbit types your seed with every letter and digit after it (suffix) or before it (prefix), up to three characters deep. Search volume and CPC come from Google Keyword Planner through your own Google Ads account, or from KeywordOrbit's API credits.

How does the free trial work?

Download the app and start the trial inside it with just an email. You get 7 days of everything: every depth, Planner-mode volume, clustering, filters and export. API credits aren't part of the trial. After 7 days the app stays free with limits (1 seed keyword, depth 1). Nothing is ever charged, because there's no card on file.

What happens when the trial ends?

The app switches to the free version: 1 seed keyword per run, depth 1, Planner-mode volume still included. Your projects and settings stay as they are. One $97 payment unlocks everything again, for good.

Do I need a Google Ads account?

No. Autocomplete works without any Google account, and API credits give you search volume without one too. A free Google Ads account (you don't have to run ads) unlocks Planner mode at no cost. On accounts without ad spend, Google shows volume as ranges like 1K–10K; exact numbers and monthly trends need an account with spend, or API credits.

Is it safe to connect my Google Ads account?

You sign in on Google's own sign-in page, inside the app. Your password goes only to Google, never to KeywordOrbit. The app keeps the session on your computer to read Keyword Planner, and Disconnect signs it out.

What are credits for?

Credits pay for search volume through KeywordOrbit's API, for when you don't want to use a Google Ads account. 1 credit = 1 keyword, with a minimum of 1,000 credits per lookup. They're sold as one-time packs and never expire. Planner mode never uses credits.

Does it work on Windows and Mac?

Yes. Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit), and macOS 12 or later on Apple silicon and Intel. The Windows app is signed and the Mac app is notarized by Apple, so you won't see security warnings, and updates install themselves.

Where is my data kept?

On your computer. Your keyword lists, results and projects are saved locally, with no cloud account and no sync. Autocomplete and Keyword Planner requests go straight from your computer to Google. The app checks your license with KeywordOrbit's server, and API-mode lookups pass through it to the data provider without being stored.

What does the full version cost?

$149, one time. The first 200 customers pay the $97 launch price. That covers every feature, unlimited Planner-mode volume, 25,000 API credits and free updates, on 2 computers. There's no subscription and nothing to cancel.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. The full version has a 14-day money-back guarantee: email us within 14 days of buying and you get a full refund, no questions asked. Details are in the refund policy. With a 7-day free trial and a free version, you can check everything works for you before you pay anything.
