The Problem
Light SEO users (freelancers, small sites, side projects) need the same SERP data as enterprise users but cannot justify $129-$249/month subscriptions. A script-based workflow using pay-per-query API calls costs 95-99% less at low volumes.
How Scavio Helps
- 500 free credits/month covers basic rank tracking entirely
- $0.005/credit for anything beyond the free tier
- Custom script tailored to exactly the metrics you care about
- CSV export for spreadsheet users, JSON for developers
- No feature bloat from enterprise tools you will never use

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "Track 10 keywords weekly: Scavio Google search for each, parse organic results for target domain position, write to CSV, compare week-over-week in Google Sheets. Monthly cost: 40 searches * $0.005 = $0.20. Free tier covers it entirely (500 free/mo).":
