Keys go under Settings, they're sealed when stored and never shown again (only the last four characters), and each one is checked with the provider as you save it.
Search data
Under Settings → Search data:
Provider | What it unlocks |
|---|---|
DataForSEO | Search results, keywords, backlinks, local packs and reviews. Required for almost everything. |
SerpApi | An optional second search provider. With it, an outage on the first degrades to a slower, dearer lookup rather than to no data. |
Google Ads | Keyword volume, competition and bid ranges from Google directly, at no cost per lookup. An account with no active ad spend gets figures rounded to bands. |
Your own proxies | Search results fetched through your own addresses instead of a vendor's, at no cost per lookup. Tried before any paid provider; if the pool is blocked, the run falls back to one. One address per line. |
Bing Webmaster Tools | Bing's own clicks, impressions and position for your clients' sites. |
Seolyticize also uses free sources by itself — Google autocomplete and Trends, its own crawler and the Common Crawl link graph — and tries those before anything paid.
Site performance
Under Settings → Site performance, both free with a Google API key:
Chrome UX Report — Core Web Vitals as Chrome measured them on real visits: LCP, INP and CLS over the trailing 28 days.
PageSpeed Insights — one synthetic Lighthouse run per page: performance, SEO, accessibility and best practices. Usually the same key as the Chrome UX Report.
AI assistants
Under Settings → AI assistants, one key per assistant that AI visibility should ask: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Perplexity, xAI (Grok), Meta AI and DeepSeek. Each is a separate account with its own bill.
Spend and budgets
Every paid lookup is charged to a client and counted against that client's Monthly data budget, if it has one. People who can see costs find the totals on the Spend page, and the agency's limits under Settings → Plan.
