How to Install Keywords Everywhere#
For Chrome Users#
Head to the official Keywords Everywhere website and click the "Install for Chrome" button. That takes you to the Chrome Web Store where you can add the extension. Follow the on-screen instructions and you're done.
For Firefox Users#
Same process, different browser. Visit the Keywords Everywhere website and click "Install for Firefox." You'll land on the Firefox add-ons page where you can install it. Look for the extension icon in the top right corner of your browser to confirm it worked.
How to Get Your API Key#
The next step is getting your API key. This is your access pass to all the keyword data features.
Getting the Key#
You have two options:
- Go directly through the Keywords Everywhere website and navigate to the API key sign-up page
- Click the Keywords Everywhere extension icon in your browser and select "sign up for a new API key"
Either way, you'll enter your email address and agree to the Terms of Service. Hit "Email me the API key" and wait. It usually takes about 10 minutes. Check your spam folder if you don't see it.
Adding the Key to the Extension#
When the email arrives, click the link to see your API key. Copy it, then go to the Keywords Everywhere extension settings. Under API settings, paste your key and validate it. That's it.
Understanding Credits and Plans#
Each credit gives you keyword data for one search term, covering volume, CPC, competition score, and a 12-month trend.
Subscription Plans#
Click "purchase a subscription" in the extension to see your options. Plans range from Bronze ($21/year) with one user seat to Platinum with up to 100 user seats. Whether you're solo or running a team, there's something that fits.
How Credits Work#
Once you purchase a plan, your credits are good for a full year. Take a look at the FAQ section on the Keywords Everywhere site for details on expiration and user seat specifics.
