Question 1

Is this just another SEO tool?

Accepted Answer

No. SEO tools are indexes you click through. OnlySearch is an agent that asks questions for you, joins multiple data sources, and returns the answer. The data is the same; the UX is different.

Question 2

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Mostly DataForSEO (SERP, keywords, backlinks, domain analytics — pay-as-you-go) plus Cloudflare Radar, Common Crawl, Google Trends, Reddit, and HN scraping. You can also plug in your own GA4, Search Console, BigQuery, or any SQL DB.

Question 3

Why not just use SimilarWeb or SEMrush?

Accepted Answer

Their pricing starts at $14k–35k/year for API access, and you still have to click through their UI. OnlySearch is an agent layer on top of the same kind of data, priced for individuals and small teams.

Question 4

Can I plug in my own GA4 / BigQuery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OAuth into Google Analytics 4 and Search Console, Service Account for BigQuery, API key for Stripe, read-only DSN for Postgres / MySQL. Cross-reference public signals with your private data in one query.

Question 5

What about my privacy?

Accepted Answer

Your queries and connected data are never used to train models. Bring your own DataForSEO key for full data control. Local-first option for sensitive analyses. SOC 2 in progress.

Question 6

Free or paid?

Accepted Answer

Free tier: 5 queries / month. Pro: $19 / month for 100+ queries plus dashboards. Team: $99 / month for unlimited queries plus alerts. Or bring your own DataForSEO and provider keys to skip OnlySearch markup entirely.

Question 7

How is this different from ChatGPT with browsing?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT with browsing scrapes one page at a time. OnlySearch hits structured data APIs (DataForSEO, GA4, GSC), joins them, and returns charts plus written analysis. Different game.

Question 8

When can I use it?

Accepted Answer

Private beta opens later this year. Waitlist invites roll out in small batches so we can talk to early users.

Question 9

Will OnlySearch train on my data?

Accepted Answer

No. Queries, files, and connected sources stay yours. We don't train on customer data and we never will.

Question 10

Who makes OnlySearch?

Accepted Answer

A small team. We answer our own emails. Write to support@onlysearch.ai anytime — you'll get a human.
