This is amazing – it is more useful than most of the paid SEO tools we use. Thank you so much
This is an awesome tool. Is there any limit to how many searches we can do? I need to search for 500 terms a day for 7 days.
Sky is the limit
Hi, this is a super awesome tool! I’m not a developer, but I like to understand what is running behind the browser. In your article you mentioned Python.
May I ask which languages are used to create a tool like this? How many coding hours to get these results?
As I said, I’m not an expert, just curious and fascinated by those who can code!
Hello Samuel. I stumbled on your site by pure luck while looking for ways to scrape with Google Sheets. Very happy to have found your page. I would like to second what UC is asking. This is a bit of a personal goal, but the tool you made is similar to a project that I’ve been wanting to duct-tape together as a way to learn to code. I know you can’t give up the recipe to your secret sauce, but any additional insights would be great. Keep up the great work on thruuu and the insightful blog posts.
