Darkstar Media is a Toronto-based web design and SEO studio (Darkstar Media, 35 Viking Lane, Toronto, ON) offering custom WordPress design and development, eCommerce sites, UX design, SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and graphic design and branding. Alongside its client services it publishes Darkstar Keyword Manager, a self-serve WordPress SEO plugin that solves a specific problem: keyword tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Moz each hand you a spreadsheet, and after a few campaigns you end up with dozens of disconnected keyword files with no way to see which page targets which keyword. Darkstar Keyword Manager imports keyword research from any CSV or XLSX export and organizes it into named lists inside the WordPress dashboard. Its smart column mapping auto-detects columns regardless of order or naming, so files from Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ubersuggest, KWFinder, or Serpstat import without reformatting. The free version integrates directly with Yoast, RankMath, SEOPress, and AIOSEO to show which published page is targeting each keyword, and adds duplicate detection, search-volume and difficulty display, difficulty badges, and bulk management. The Pro tier layers on advanced filtering by list, volume, and difficulty range, manual keyword entry without a file, one-click deletion of entire lists, and CSV export that includes the targeted page URLs. All keyword data stays in your own WordPress database and is never sent to external servers, and the plugin runs only in the admin so it adds no front-end load.
Key Features

Cons

Scope is limited to keyword organization inside WordPress - it does not perform keyword research or rank tracking itself
The page-targeting column requires an active supported SEO plugin (Yoast, RankMath, SEOPress, or AIOSEO)
Useful mainly to WordPress site owners; there is no standalone or non-WordPress version
Core value is tied to importing exports from third-party keyword tools you already pay for
