Recent Updates

October 23-25, 2025
State Filtering - Major Update

I added state filtering to the app - a major update. It required a major accuracy overhaul; I had to implement some conflict detection and multi-word location disambiguation. These updates allow users to accurately filter for terms in a specific region - speeding up keyword research and improving the usefulness of the app.

Technical Details
  • Redis & RQ Background Processing: Enterprise-grade infrastructure upgrade
    • Implemented Redis for job queuing and rate limiting
    • RQ (Redis Queue) handles large file processing in background
    • 60-minute job timeout supports files with 50K+ rows
    • Real-time progress tracking with Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • State-Specific Filtering: New ability to filter keywords by specific US states
    • Users can now target California, New York, Texas, or any other state
    • Dramatically speeds up keyword research for regional campaigns
    • Improves app usefulness for location-based marketing
  • Conflict Detection: Prevents false matches across states
    • "Carson City, NV" won't match when filtering for California
    • Validates both state names and abbreviations
    • Eliminates cross-state contamination in results
  • Multi-Word Location Disambiguation: Longest-match-first algorithm
    • "Fort Walton Beach, FL" no longer incorrectly matches "Walton, NY"
    • Multi-word cities prioritized over partial matches
    • Word consumption tracking prevents double-matching
  • Added "German" and "Italy" to ambiguous toponyms (153 total)

Tab-Delimited File Support

Added support for tab delimited files. The tool should support exports from Google Ads.

Technical Details
  • Implemented robust pandas-based file parsing with automatic encoding detection
  • Added support for UTF-16 Little Endian encoding used by Google Ads exports
  • Automatic delimiter detection for comma, tab, and semicolon separated files
  • Replaced manual CSV parsing with pandas for better reliability with various file formats
  • Fixed column separation issues that caused all data to appear in single column

Enhanced File Encoding Support

Added support for more encoding types. Now the tool can parse exports from multiple tools, not just SEMRush.

Technical Details
  • Implemented smart encoding detection for CSV files
  • Supports UTF-8, Windows-1252, ISO-8859-1, UTF-16, and ASCII encodings
  • Handles exports from Excel, Google Sheets, and other tools seamlessly
  • Eliminates "CSV parsing failed" warnings for properly formatted files
  • Added "House", "Day", and "Worth" to ambiguous terms list for better filtering accuracy

Row Preservation Update

I decided it's better not to de-duplicate keywords. Now if 50k rows go in, 50k come back.

Technical Details
  • Removed automatic keyword deduplication from processing pipeline
  • Input and output row counts now match exactly
  • Preserves duplicate keywords as they may have different contexts or purposes
  • Maintains data integrity for bulk processing workflows
September 16, 2025
Enhanced Geographic Disambiguation

Added a list of ambiguous toponyms. Implemented some disambiguation. Working on improving the dataset of ambiguous toponyms.

Technical Details
  • Added 8 new ambiguous toponyms to reduce false positives (total now 116)
  • Implemented smart filtering for common words like "green", "orange", "lawn"
  • Fixed state abbreviation matching to prevent false matches on words like "in", "or", "us"
  • Multi-word geographic terms like "Green Bay" and "Orange Beach" still match correctly
  • Match rate calculations now show whole numbers instead of decimals
