## Agent prompt to replace Semrush

Use looot to run keyword research for a topic I give you, check who ranks in the top 10 for each keyword, and summarise the gaps. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than Semrush depends on your volume.
