Google Autocomplete Buyer-Intent Keywords

Turn one topic into live Google search phrases that reveal comparison, price, review, problem, fit, and purchase intent—without a Google API key.

Instead of exporting a noisy autocomplete list, this Actor labels every phrase with a deterministic intent, score, matched signals, and a buyerIntent flag. Use the ready-made filter to keep only commercially useful suggestions.

Try it in under a minute

The default run is deliberately small: up to 100 buyer-intent results, about $0.05 at the Free-tier result rate.

{
  "queries": ["electric car charger"],
  "language": "en",
  "country": "us",
  "expandAlphabet": true,
  "includeQuestions": true,
  "buyerIntentOnly": true,
  "maxResults": 100
}

Run the Actor, then export the result as JSON, CSV, or Excel—or connect it to an API, schedule, webhook, Make, n8n, or Zapier workflow.

Use it directly from an AI agent with MCP

Apify's hosted MCP server can expose this Actor as a tool to MCP-compatible AI clients without putting an Apify API token in the client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signal-lab-keywords": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=signal_lab/google-autocomplete-keywords"
    }
  }
}

After Apify's OAuth flow, ask the agent something like: “Find buyer-intent Google autocomplete keywords for electric car charger in the US, keep commercial phrases only, and group them by intent.”

See the official Apify MCP guide for supported clients and authentication options.

Example result

{
  "query": "electric car charger",
  "seed": "electric car charger",
  "suggestion": "electric car charger cost",
  "rank": 6,
  "intent": "budget",
  "intentScore": 80,
  "intentSignals": ["cost"],
  "buyerIntent": true,
  "language": "en",
  "country": "us",
  "source": "Google Autocomplete",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-28T06:44:43.000Z"
}

Pricing and limitations

Launch pricing is $0.50 per 1,000 keyword results on the Free plan, with lower result rates on paid Apify plans. Check the Pricing tab for the exact estimate.

Autocomplete shows how people phrase searches. It does not include CPC, competition, monthly search volume, or guaranteed conversions. Pair it with a search-volume provider when you need those metrics.
