FAQ

How much does Google Autocomplete Keyword Expander cost?

$0.001 per keyword suggestion on the Apify Free plan ($1 per 1,000), billed per result by Apify with no subscription. Plus $0.005 per keyword metrics. Plus $0.025 per metrics batch. Higher Apify plans get the discounted tiers shown in the pricing table. You can cap any run with a maximum cost.

Are these real searches?

Yes. Autocomplete suggestions come from what people search for on Google or YouTube. They're a great signal of real demand, but they don't include volumes unless you turn on the metrics add-on.

Why do I get fewer keywords than "Max keywords"?

Some seeds simply have fewer distinct suggestions. Add more expansions or turn on Deep expand.

Does it need proxies?

No setup needed. If Google rate-limits a run, the Actor slows down and retries automatically.
