Grows a seed phrase into the phrases nobody named yet.

It takes phrases you have and returns phrases in the same category that you do
not — relevant rather than merely containing the seed — each with its search
volume, click cost, competition and how hard its first page is to reach. This is
where a keyword list comes FROM; seoKeyword is where a list you already have gets
measured.

It is priced per row, so Limit is the knob that decides what the call costs.
Total says how many more there were.

## Request
