Cynical Sally

Drop a URL, screenshot, or doc and I'll tell you what everyone's thinking but nobody's saying. Student with a "final draft"? Drop the essay. Developer "shipping soon"? Drop the landing page. Marketer chasing "engagement"? Drop the ad. Realtor calling it "cozy"? Drop the listing. Designer with a "clean portfolio"? Drop the link. Bring evidence. I'll bring the disappointment. I remember your project so I can tell you if you actually improved. Your files? I look, I judge, I delete. I don't have storage space for your problems. No tracking, no ads, no nonsense.

Oh look, another free keyword research tool. Because what the SEO world desperately needed in 2026 was tool number 47,000 that does exactly what Ahrefs, SEMrush, and a dozen free alternatives already do. Let me dig into what makes StatFlows think it's special.

Your hero section is a keyword-stuffed mess masquerading as a value proposition. 'Discover high-value seed keywords, analyze keyword difficulty, search volume, and search intent with real Google Trends data' — you've managed to cram every SEO buzzword into one sentence without actually saying what makes YOUR tool different. I counted nine bolded keyword phrases in the first paragraph alone. This reads like it was written by an SEO who's optimizing for bots, not humans.

The entire page is an SEO tutorial disguised as a landing page. 'How to Choose Keywords for SEO,' 'What Is Keyword Difficulty,' 'Types of Keywords in SEO' — this is textbook content you're trying to rank for while simultaneously trying to sell a tool. Pick a lane. Are you a blog post or a product page? Because right now you're neither. Visitors who want to USE a tool will bounce before they reach the actual tool. People looking for education will skim and leave because there's no depth, just surface-level definitions any beginner could find on Search Engine Journal.

Your differentiation is nonexistent. You mention 'real Google Trends data' like it's a unique selling point — newsflash: everyone uses Trends data. You claim to calculate keyword difficulty 'based on search popularity, interest stability, and market maturity signals' which is the vaguest possible explanation of what sounds like a proprietary algorithm. Meanwhile, Ahrefs shows you actual backlink data, SEMrush shows you competitor analysis, and you're over here with... trend scores? The 'Keyword Research for Every Platform' section is pure desperation — Amazon keyword research, resume keywords, qualitative research keywords. You're not actually built for those use cases, you're just hoping someone Googling 'Amazon keyword research' lands here and settles.

The trust signals are laughable. No pricing (even though you claim it's free — but is it always free? Are there limits? Premium tiers?). No testimonials. No case studies. No founder story. No 'trusted by X companies' or user count. You have a UTM parameter showing you're coming from Reddit organic social, which tells me you're spamming this link in threads hoping for traction. The FAQ section at the bottom asks eight questions and provides ZERO answers — just the questions themselves. That's not an FAQ, that's an outline you forgot to finish.

The meta keywords section is peak irony. You dedicate an entire section to explaining that meta keywords don't matter anymore, then immediately pivot to 'but keyword research matters!' — which is true, but feels like you're trying to justify the existence of your own tool by reminding people that keywords exist. It's defensive. It's like a restaurant putting up a sign that says 'Food is important and people need to eat' instead of just serving great food. The whole page reeks of insecurity about whether this tool actually provides value.
