SEO research for small businesses

Real SEO data for the AI assistant you already use.

Research keywords, compare competitors, and plan your next page in ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex—with sourced results and costs shown before you run.

Your AI assistant is paid separately.

Illustrative BrandVane workflow: a plumbing business asks how to attract local customers, compares three search topics and their intent, then asks its assistant to outline a water heater repair cost guide. Example topics are illustrative; paid research requires approval.
