In our last article also, we had informed our visitors that, we will bring the best tools for keyword research. So here is the article and today we are giving you the best top 8 keyword research tools which most of the SEO experts use. So let me finally start discussing every tool one by one:
Top 8 Best and Most Powerfull Keyword Research Tools
1. Google Keyword Planner
So let’s start with one of the important tool that is known is Google Keywords Planner. It is one of the most commonly used keyword research tool among other tools, and also, it directly provides you the data from Google. That is why people generally trust this tool a lot and considers as it reliable. Let me tell you how exactly we can use this tool.
To use this tool, first you need a Google Ads account. After creating your account, go to the Tools section, then Planning, and select Keyword Planner. After that, you will get two more options, first one is “Discover Keywords” and the second one is “Forecasting Keyword” option.
Both options have different purposes, we use Discover Keywords feature to find our new keywords for content writing and Forecasting feature to get analysis about the keyword such as average monthly searches, competition, ad impression share, and top-of-the-page bid etc.
2. Google Trends
Now the next powerful tool we have is Google Trands. This tool is fully authentic because this tool is basically a product of Google. We use this tool mostly to know which keyword is highly being search by the people. Using this keyword, we can know about those keywords which are getting higher searches. Let me tell you how exactly you can use this tool.
First search “Google Trends” on Google. After that open the official website of Google Trends. Once you enter in the website, you will get options like “Explore” and “Trending Now” both options are used differently. Using explore option, you can explore your own keyword stats and using trending now, you can see those keywords which are trending on Google without using any of your own keyword.
So you can use either of these option and then by entering a keyword such as “online marketing,” you can see how its popularity has changed over time. You also get data about which regions search for the keyword the most and what related queries are currently trending.
3. Ubersuggest
Now the next powerful tool we have is Ubersuggest. This is also one of the most popular and powerful tool. However, this tool is not free, it’s free and paid version both are available. You can still use it free version but with limited usage and features. Let me tell you, how you can use this tool for keyword research.
So to use Ubersuggest tool, simply type “Ubersuggest” on Google. After that, you open the website and create your Ubersuggest account. Once your account is ready, after that, you can enter a keyword. Let us suppose the keyword is “online marketing,” when you search this, you will get a keyword overview such as search volume, SEO difficulty, paid difficulty, Cost per click (CPC) etc.
It also provides keyword ideas and content ideas. For example, if you want to get content ideas based on “online marketing,” it can show you articles and blog posts that are already performing well for that keyword. But note that, the paid version gives you more detailed results and better analysis, but in free version, features are less but it’s not bad tough as well, still you get a 7-day free trial with limited features.
4. SEMrush
Now the next tool we have is SEMrush, which is also considered as one of the most powerful keyword research tool. Here what is special about this tool is, instead of just generating random keyword ideas, this tool can tell you how exactly a website is ranking, for which keyword the website got rank. So you can get the exact keywords that a website is already ranking for.
Although SEMrush is also a paid tool, but it does also provides some limited free features. For using this tool, just simply go to Google and search for SEMrush. Once you login into the dashboard by creating your account, you can enter your keyword and get detailed data such as search volume, keyword difficulty, global volume, CPC, search intent, and trend etc. It also provides keyword variations, related keywords, and even question-based keywords. These can help you discover semantic keywords as well as content opportunities.
5. Ahrefs Free Keyword Generator
Now the another powerful tool is Ahrefs Keyword Generator. This tool is capable of generating variations of keyword and also it will give you the complete data about search volume, difficulty, number of clicks, and CPC.
For example, if you enter “online marketing” and choose India as the country, Ahrefs will show you different keyword ideas. You might find that some have very high difficulty (like 80), while others have much lower difficulty (like 4). So you can pick your keywords smartly by using this keyword research tool.
Once you collect keyword ideas from Ahrefs and other tools, it is recommended to create a spreadsheet. In this sheet, you can list all your keyword ideas along with their search volume and difficulty. From this large list, you can then finalize 10 to 20 target keywords to work on.
6. Exploding Topics
Now the next tool we have is Exploding Topics. This is also an important keyword research tool. With the help of this tool, we can scrape those website keywords which are suddenly rising in popularity. Let me tell you how exactly we use this tool.
To use this tool, you simply need to type “Exploding Topics” on Google. When you open it, you can explore the biggest trends of the month or current popular words. Let us suppose you want to explore the biggest trends this month. You will see a list of popular words. If you want to search for a specific topic, you can use the search option.
For example, if you search for “online marketing” or “digital marketer,” you will see the growth and popularity trend of these keywords. Another advantage is that you can also sort topics by category. For example, you can filter by brands, businesses, health, technology, and so on. This makes it easier to find keywords in your niche.
7. Keyword Surfer Chrome Extension
Now the next tool we have is Keyword Surfer. This is actually a Chrome extension tool. Once we install this extension in our chrome browser, it will show us all the keyword ideas directly from Google search results.
For example, if you type a keyword on Google, Keyword Surfer will show you related keyword ideas, search volume, and CPC right there. This is very useful because you don’t even have to leave the search page.
Similar kind of one more extension is there, it’s name is Keywords Everywhere. This extension also provides same keyword ideas and data directly from Google search results in your browser. Both of these chrome extension tools are better for keyword research, so you can use any of them as per your choice.
8. Google Search Suggestions
Apart from these tools, you can also use Google itself to find keywords. At the bottom of the search results page, you will see related searches. For example, if you search for “online marketing,” it might suggest terms like digital marketing or marketing strategies etc which are actually LSI keywords.
You also have the People Also Ask section, where you get commonly asked questions. These can be turned into keyword opportunities as well. Another useful trick is to notice the bold terms in Google’s search results. These highlighted words also indicate popular keyword variations.
