Real-Time SEO Intelligence
Get the Current Search Data, In Real Time
Most of your search data updates on a schedule, weekly, monthly, whenever the next report happens to run. Instant works differently. When you need to check a keyword, a competitor, or a specific location, Instant gives you the most current data available on demand. Zoom in as deep as you want, by category, country, or keyword.
Keyword Research
Input any keywords and get their current search data back immediately; no setup and no prior tracking required. Choose Google Volume for a broad read, or BrightEdge Volume for precise, exact-match demand. Expand any keyword into related terms, complete with search volume and how competitive each one is, so you can size up a new opportunity the moment it crosses your mind.
Real-time Ranking
See your keyword's current position across Google, Bing, and Yahoo. For each one, Instant flags whether it triggers related searches, People Also Ask, or an AI Overview, and tells you if you have earned a spot in each. It checks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Mode the same way, so you always know exactly where you stand in AI search.
Local & Competitive Comparison
If you compete city by city or region by region, one national number won't tell you much. Instant compares your ranking against any competitor down to the state, city, or even hyperlocal level, so you know where you are winning and where you are not, market by market.
Website Analysis
Pull your page speed and Core Web Vitals against any competitor in real time, and see who is linking back to you. Get the current picture on demand, whenever you need it.
