        Keyword difficulty tool is brilliant but the 500 limit is too low for agency use. If you even put it up to 1000, we'd be able to use it for pretty much every client but 500 gets us about 5 hours into the day before we're out. I know 500 would work for most people most of the time - but you're missing those who are obsessed with the tool and would write about it, talk about it more, etc. if we could use it as a full time thing like we used to.

          Thanks for the feedback Matt - definitely something we're looking into as we work on the next iteration of the tool. I think going up in report limits is something we can certainly do for the higher tiers in the future.
