❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a Related Keywords Finder Actor?

An SEO Keyword Scraper Actor is an automated tool hosted on Apify that extracts related keywords, search volumes, and user search queries based on a single seed term and returns related search suggestions—typically via Google Autocomplete—so you can expand SEO and AEO keyword lists without manual typing.

How does alphabet expansion work?

A single autocomplete call often returns only ~8–12 ideas. With alphabet expansion, the Actor also queries seed a, seed b, … seed z (and optionally 0–9), then merges and deduplicates all suggestions for much larger lists.

How does this support Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

The Actor extracts long-tail, question-based search queries (e.g., "how to choose keywords for seo"). Targeting these natural language questions helps optimize content for AI search engines, voice assistants, and Google Featured Snippets.

Does this return search volume, CPC, or keyword difficulty?

No. This Actor focuses on related keyword discovery and expansion from Google Autocomplete. Volume, CPC, and difficulty require separate SEO data providers.

Can I run multiple seeds at once?

Yes. Pass an array in keywords. Seeds can run concurrently (controlled by MAX_THREADS).

Can I integrate this into an automated pipeline?

Yes. You can trigger this Actor programmatically using the Apify API, Python SDK, Node.js SDK, or webhooks.

Will results change by country or language?

Yes. Set country (gl) and language (hl) to bias suggestions (e.g. in + en for India-focused English queries).

⚡ Performance Notes

Mode	Approx. requests per seed
No expansion	~1
Alphabet a–z	~27
Alphabet + digits 0–9	~37

Throughput depends on proxy limits and Google response times. Retries apply on transient failures; HTTP 404 on a query is skipped cleanly.
