VO Keyword Research
VO Keyword Research is an internal Venture Orient tool. It is not offered to the public, and nobody signs in to it.
- It connects to the Google Ads API as a Google Cloud service account with read-only access to one Google Ads account, which Venture Orient's founder holds personally.
- It requests aggregate keyword statistics for search terms we choose, for the United States, in English: average monthly searches, monthly search volumes, competition, and top-of-page bid estimates.
- It does not access, collect, store or share any Google user's personal data, and it shows no sign-in or consent screen to anyone.
- We keep the aggregate statistics in Venture Orient's private research records, and use them only for our own market research and advertising planning.
- We do not sell the aggregate statistics or share them with third parties.
VO Keyword Research's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Selling and advertising
We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising.
