Grow your keyword list for both Google and YouTube and keep all results in a clean NocoDB database. It is built for SEO and content teams that want steady ideas backed by search volume, CPC, and competition data.

Runs on a schedule every four hours or by manual test. Time stamps for yesterday and today are generated to tag results. Base keywords are pulled from NocoDB. For each seed, the flow calls an internal API to get second order autocomplete ideas for Google and YouTube. It then sends those ideas to DataForSEO to fetch search volume, CPC, and competition. Results are split into single rows, filtered by your thresholds, and checked in NocoDB. If a keyword is new it is added. If it exists it is updated. Monthly search volume records are formatted and bulk written into related tables.

You will need NocoDB, a DataForSEO account, and a deployed internal API as described. Expect a big cut in manual research time and a growing keyword library you can trust. This fits SEO agencies, in house teams, and creators who plan content for both search and video. Adjust country and language codes and your filters to match your market.
