Most SEO software blurs the line between live data and AI guesswork. We don't. Every tool in SEO Fragments wears a label so you know exactly what you're looking at — and we will never present AI reasoning as if it were a real measurement.
Real-time data fetched from external APIs every time you run the tool. Numbers are real measurements.
Examples: Keyword Research (DataForSEO), Speed Optimize (Google PageSpeed Insights), Site Audit (live crawler), YouTube Comments (YouTube Data API).
Real API data combined with AI reasoning. The numbers are measured; the strategic recommendations on top are AI.
Examples: Keyword Clustering, PAA Harvester, Competitor Spy, EEAT Audit.
AI writes original content for you. The output IS the product. Like working with a skilled copywriter — review, edit, fact-check, publish.
Examples: Article Generator, Medium Writer, LinkedIn Article Writer, all the parasite-SEO writers, FAQ Expander, Schema Generator, llms.txt Generator.
AI generates scores, strategies, and recommendations based on its training knowledge. These are educated estimates — like a senior SEO consultant's opinion — NOT live measurements.
Examples: Parasite Site Picker, Cluster Planner, Stacked Generator, AI Citation Tracker, GEO Score Auditor.
⚠️ All tools in this tier display an explicit transparency notice above results.
The numbers are real. Use them to make ranking and budget decisions. The data quality is only as good as the underlying provider (DataForSEO, Google, etc.) — same as Ahrefs, Semrush, or any other SaaS using those APIs.
Trust the numbers, treat the recommendations as expert suggestions to validate against your own judgment.
You're getting a draft, not a finished published piece. Always review, fact-check, edit to match your brand voice, and ensure original claims are verifiable. You own the output — we do not store or reuse it.
Treat it like a senior SEO consultant's briefing. The strategy and frameworks are valuable; the specific scores are educated estimates. For ranking-impact decisions, always cross-check with a live data tool.
🛰️ AI Citation Verifier — now LIVE. The first real-data tool in our AI Visibility category. Each run actually queries ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Perplexity in real time, captures their full responses, and reports verified brand mentions and citation URLs. No estimation. Costs about $0.015 per full run (3 prompts × 2 engines) at our wholesale API rates. See it on the dashboard.
If the server isn't configured with the required API keys, the tool fail-shuts with a clear error and a link to add the keys — we will not silently fall back to estimation.
A few of our 🧠 Analysis tools could become 🟢 Live tools by wiring them to real APIs. We're actively working on:
When any of these ship, the badge changes and the transparency notice goes away. You'll know.
