AI-Powered Google Ads Keyword Research
Get real CPC data, search volumes, and competition scores for Google Ads keywords directly in your terminal. No dashboard clicks needed.
The problem
Google's Keyword Planner is slow and clunky. Finding good keywords means navigating multiple screens, filtering results manually, and copying data between tabs. Researching a single ad group's keywords takes 30-45 minutes of repetitive clicking.
The solution
burn-r8 returns real Google Ads keyword data, including estimated CPC, monthly search volume, and competition levels, directly in your terminal. Ask for keyword ideas in natural language, review the data, and add winners to your campaigns without leaving your AI client.
How it works
Copy these prompts into Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client.
