All four use your project’s location and language. Change the project locale to research a different market.
Research — bulk metrics
Paste keywords into the box, separated by commas or line breaks. Duplicates are removed automatically, so pasting overlapping lists is safe. The cap is 700 keywords per request. Over that, you’ll get “Maximum 700 keywords per request” and nothing is submitted — split the list. Use this when you already have candidates — from a client brief, a competitor’s site, a brainstorm — and need volume and difficulty attached to them.Suggestions — expand from seeds
Enter up to 100 seed keywords, comma or newline separated. Surnex returns up to 50 related keywords with full metrics. Over the cap you’ll see “Maximum 100 seed keywords per request”. Use this when you’re starting from a topic rather than a list. A handful of good seeds usually beats a hundred vague ones — the suggestions are only as focused as what you seed them with.Domain Keywords — mine a site
Enter a single domain and Surnex returns up to 50 keywords that domain ranks for, with metrics. This works on any domain, not just yours. Pointing it at a competitor is the fastest way to find keywords you’ve never considered — the same lookup that powers Suggest Keywords during project creation.SERP — live results
Enter a query and Surnex fetches the top 20 results live from the search engine.SERP is the one tab that isn’t stored. Results come back fresh on every search, and re-running the same query later can return something different. The other three tabs save their results as jobs you can return to.
Results
Summary cards
Research and Suggestions show four cards above the table:
Averages describe the whole result set. A set with a handful of high-volume head terms and a long tail of near-zero keywords has an average volume that describes neither.
The table
25 rows per page, with a Filter keywords box that narrows the set as you type and a result count on the right.
KD and Comp. are colour-coded on the same scale: green is easy or low, amber is moderate, red is hard or high. KD turns amber at 40 and red at 70.
Click the chevron on any row to expand it. The detail panel adds the underlying data — competition index, high and low bid, backlink and referring-domain averages for the ranking pages, main and foreign intent, detected language, and when the metrics were last updated.
Saving keywords
Click the bookmark icon on a row to save that keyword to the project. Saved keywords collect on the Saved keywords page, which acts as your shortlist. Saving is per keyword — there’s no select-all. For a large set, filter first to narrow the table, then save what’s left.Saving is not tracking. A saved keyword is a bookmark with its metrics attached; nothing is checked daily until you add it on the Tracking page, and there’s no one-click promotion between the two.
Research history
Research, Suggestions, and Domain Keywords each run as a job and store their results. Past runs appear as pills above the form, labelled with what you searched — the first three keywords for Research and Suggestions, the domain for Domain Keywords. Click a pill to load that run’s results without re-running it. When you open the page, the most recent completed run for each tab loads automatically, so you pick up where you left off. Delete a run from its pill to clear it from the history.Loading a saved run doesn’t refresh it. Metrics are from when the job ran — re-submit the same keywords for current figures. That also means re-running costs quota; browsing history doesn’t.
