Keyword slots explained

A keyword slot is one actively tracked keyword. The rule is simple: a slot is used only while a keyword is switched on. This lets you keep a large library and spend your allowance only on the terms you are actively following.

The model in one line

Adding a keyword is free. Activating it uses one slot. Deactivating it frees the slot back up.

What this means in practice

• Build a library of every term you might care about, at no cost.
• Turn on the keywords you want to watch right now.
• When priorities change, switch some off and others on. Your allowance is about how many you track at once, not how many you own.
• A deactivated keyword keeps its full history, so you can pick it back up later without losing data.

How many slots do I get?

Your slot allowance rises with your plan. As a guide, Starter includes around 30 active keywords, Pro around 150, Agency around 750, and Enterprise around 3,000. Higher plans also refresh more often: weekly on Starter, daily on Pro and above. See the pricing page for current numbers.

What happens at the limit

If you try to activate more keywords than your plan allows, the extra ones stay in your library as inactive until you free up a slot or upgrade. You are never blocked from adding keywords, only from tracking more than your plan covers at once.
