# Vaneform

> Vaneform helps people research public websites: estimated traffic, search visibility, domain history, comparisons, discovery boards and a public API.

Vaneform reports public or provider-estimated signals. Keep the provider, observation date, scope and confidence with every conclusion. A report does not expose a site's private analytics, revenue or conversion data.

## Data boundaries

- [How Vaneform estimates website traffic](https://vaneform.com/methodology): Similarweb public-data months for whole-site visits, and a separate DataForSEO Labs sample for search visibility.
- Website traffic is a whole-site estimate with a provider-defined scope and observation period.
- Search visibility is a separate estimate for ranking keywords, search visits, landing pages and competitors.
- Search results and keyword difficulty use the market shown by the tool; they are not universal global facts.
- Missing, partial and estimated values stay labeled in reports and API responses.
- Query results, private account pages and personalized preview states are not stable public source pages.
- Free API domain lookups use the monthly point allowance; keyword lookup, keyword rankings and `include=search` are Pro capabilities.
