📋 Overview

Search Atlas allows you to build, filter, and export large keyword datasets — including lists exceeding one million keywords — directly from the Keyword Magic tool. This article walks you through the full process: creating your list, applying SERP feature filters such as Jobs, separating desktop and mobile data, and understanding the cost structure for bulk exports.

🗂️ Step 1: Access Keyword Magic

Navigate to Left sidebar → Keywords → Keyword Magic. This is where you build and manage large keyword datasets before exporting.

🔍 Step 2: Build Your Keyword Dataset

  1. Enter your seed keyword or upload a keyword list using the bulk import option.
  2. Use the filters panel to narrow your dataset by search volume, keyword difficulty, intent, or any other available dimension.
  3. To isolate desktop keywords, set the device filter to Desktop. Repeat the process separately and set the device filter to Mobile to capture your mobile subset.
  4. Review the total keyword count shown at the top of the results table before proceeding. For a dataset of this scale, confirm you see approximately 1.2M keywords for desktop and 580K keywords for mobile before applying SERP feature filters.

📌 Step 3: Apply the Jobs SERP Feature Filter

  1. In the filters panel, locate the SERP Features section.
  2. Select Jobs from the list of available SERP feature types.
  3. Choose whether you want keywords where the Jobs feature is present in the SERP or is not present, depending on your use case.
  4. Apply the filter and allow the table to refresh. The keyword count will update to reflect only keywords that trigger the Jobs SERP feature.
  5. Repeat this filter step independently for your desktop and mobile device segments so each export file is clean and correctly segmented.

💾 Step 4: Export Your Dataset

Once your filters are applied and the dataset is confirmed, follow these steps to export:

  1. Click the Export button located in the top-right area of the results table.
  2. Select your preferred file format — CSV is recommended for datasets of this size due to compatibility with most data tools.
  3. For datasets above 100,000 keywords, the export is processed as a bulk export job. You will receive a notification or download link once the file is ready — this may take several minutes depending on dataset size.
  4. Export your desktop dataset first, then repeat the full workflow (device filter + SERP feature filter) to export your mobile dataset as a separate file.

⚙️ Bulk Export Options and API Access

For datasets in the 500K–1M+ range, Search Atlas offers two primary export methods:

  • In-platform bulk export: Processed asynchronously in the background. You will be notified when the file is ready to download. This is the standard method for most large exports.
  • API export: Available on every plan, the Search Atlas API allows you to programmatically query and export keyword datasets at scale. This is recommended if you need to automate recurring large exports or integrate data directly into your own systems. Create your key in Settings → API Keys → Generate new key.

💰 Pricing for Bulk Exports

Export costs depend on your active subscription plan and the volume of keyword rows exported. The general structure is as follows:

  • Included export credits: Each plan includes a monthly allocation of exportable keyword rows. Check your plan details under your account settings to see your current limit.
  • Overage exports: Exports that exceed your plan's included row limit are charged at a per-row rate or deducted from a credits balance, depending on your plan tier.
  • Enterprise and custom plans: If you regularly need to export datasets of 1M+ keywords, an Enterprise plan provides higher or unlimited export limits along with dedicated support. Reach out via the chat widget for a custom quote.

Important: A combined export of approximately 1.2M desktop keywords and 580K mobile keywords (totalling ~1.78M rows) will likely exceed the included limits on standard plans. We recommend checking your remaining export credits before initiating the job to avoid unexpected charges.

⚠️ Performance Considerations and Limitations

  • Bulk exports for datasets over 500K keywords are processed in the background and are not instant. Allow up to 15–30 minutes for very large files to generate.
  • Do not close the platform or navigate away before the export job is queued — once queued, it will continue processing even if you close the tab.
  • The maximum single export size supported in-platform is 2M keyword rows per file. If your filtered dataset exceeds this, split it into smaller segments using additional filters such as volume range or alphabetical keyword grouping.
  • SERP feature data is refreshed on a rolling basis. Export timestamps reflect the data available at the time of export.
  • Very large CSV files (500K+ rows) may not open correctly in standard spreadsheet software. Use a tool such as Python, Google BigQuery, or a dedicated CSV viewer for best results.
