The backstory
Keywords Everywhere put volume and competition numbers directly on the search results page for a few dollars in credits. Its value depended on people spending their day inside traditional results. AI Overviews and chat interfaces have moved that behaviour, and casual keyword questions go to an assistant instead. A cheap overlay on a page people visit less often is a shrinking business.
