Configure Keyword Metrics Settings
Before checking metrics, you need to configure the location and language settings. Navigate to your Search Console property settings and find the "Keyword Metrics" section.

Configure keyword metrics settings
Check Keyword Metrics
Once configured, click the "Check Metrics" button to start checking metrics for your queries.
Cost Note: DataForSEO won't charge for keywords without search volume data, so actual costs will be lower than the estimation. SEO Utils only checks metrics for queries with missing or outdated data.
