which tool is best for keyword Research

[bobuk1982]

Everyone knows that good keyword selection is very important for better ranking. I am searching a best tool for keyword research. Can anyone tell me a best free keyword research tool.

 

[SimplyMyLove]

Did you try the one from Google itself? Google Keyword Planner

 

[lyonsdown]

I've been looking into this and longtailpro platinum is one of the best as it offers extra features that can tell you which are the least competitive keywords, on a scale of 1-100..."keyword compettiveness".
I'm told up to number 35 is the best to choose.

If you have multiple channels you wish to do keyword research for and want to sound like an idiot explaining the pronunciation of this tool to your watercooler buddies, then Soovle is a perfect fit.
Soovle allows you to explore the most typed in keywords on multiple search engines based on the keyword root you give it. It even includes Amazon and eBay.
Not only is it a great keyword research tool to use, but it’s also a great brainstormer as you can slowly start typing in your ideas and allow it to auto-generate its own ideas.

I use

-Keyword.io
-Google Keyword Planner
-LSI Graph (For Semantic keywords)

You can also use Paid tools by Moz, ahref etc. to find out you competitor's keywords and more detailed analysis.

I find Google Keyword Planner, to be really solid tool for planning the keyword strategy.

 

[techpro]

As a free tool, i must say Google Keyword Planner tool is the best one. Other alternates are word stream, wordtracker and seobook keyword tools are also good.

 

[kritika singh]

Hi All !!!!!! For me it is Google Keyword Planner is the best keyword tool planner which is also Free of cost and apart from that there are many other keyword tool like YouTube Keyword Tool(Free), Competitor Source Code(Free and for apt for Meta), Ubersuggest(Free), Wordstream's Keyword Tool(Free), SEMrush(Free), Google Planner etc., are the most effective tool for creating and researching for Keywords according to the latest trends. Hope you find it informative..........Thanks for asking .........

I read this and the first sentence makes me think a sales pitch is about to come along.

 

[lyonsdown]

Has anyone used longtailpro? it's not free, so wondered if it was worth paying for?

 

[cormac reynolds]

Long tail pro is good, though obviously paid. Another good paid tool is Authority Metrics. SEMRush and AHrefs new features can also be excellent if you're looking to see the terms competition in your industry is searching for.

 

[justinaldridge]

Most good tools have already been mentioned but I often use one in particular just to get a really quick view of all related keywords. The tool has a great name too.... http://keywordshitter.com/

Simple but effective!

 

[ukbf0001]

Rank Tracker way better than every other one I have tried , keyword difficulty, Keyword Efficiency Index, competing website research, you can use the free version of it from here , costs about 90 quid I think for the pro version, which is well worth it if you are doing this work on an on going basis

I have used scrapebox (but that is paid software)

 

[Richard Ashton]

Keyword shitter is defiantly a great one for long tail variations. (Don't be put off by the name)

keywordshitter.com

Hi,

You can use the Google Keyword planner which I personally use and its really good.

Apart of it, you can use SEM Rush, this is also good tool.

 

[fisicx]

For all those suggesting the Google Keyword Planner - it's a useless tool. It's an adwords tool so your results are always going to be skewed. It's reporting the keywords people are bidding on which may be very different to the things people are searching for.

 

[StevePoster]

Try to explore an active online community that is related to your website and learn from your target audience such as their needs so that you will have a great idea on how to capture your users attention using the keyword phrase that they are using.

 

[CarlReed]

1. Keyword Planner
2. Your Brain
3. Your incoming search terms from Search Console (the only real data you'll get from Google)
4. Keyword Multiplier by Search Commander (Google it)

 

[Luke R]

Google Keyword Planner is best free tool I know of - I often use a couple of paid alternatives alongside..

 

[webgeek]

As Jose said above, SEMRush.com is an awesome tool. I like it because it provides competitor PPC insights, enabling you to get keyword ideas based on similar companies. The seasonal variations in spending by some is often a good yardstick about when to pull back a bit, as people spend differently, based on the niche and time of year.

 

[fisicx]

Your incoming search terms from Search Console (the only real data you'll get from Google)

How? Google now hides search terms. You can extract some data form the server logs but this isn't practical for most people.

 

[webgeek]

Google may hide it in Google Analytics reporting, but they provide a ton of data in Search Console (Webmaster Tools). By term or by page, that's where they've hidden the keyword data.

 

[boring-friday]

Long tail pro is by far the best, still nowhere near accurate by itself though.

Obviously links are the most important factor and they all use moz to check for links, moz is trash so keyword research tools have no hope

 

[LowedgesWebDevelopment]

Google Keyword Planner + Competition research - use your competition work. When you find good keywords, check with google adwords if those keywords work for your business. Then get Majestic SEO and again, now check your competition backlinks source and get backlinks from that places. Don't use paid apps on learning stage of SEO and don't waste money on tone of crap SEO courses - they only exist to get money from your pocket. And Learn, Learn, Learn Everyday something new !

 

[UKSBD]

If you want to find the keywords that actual business/website owners use have a look at this - http://www.uksbd.co.uk/keyword-checker-tool/

A lot will be biased to a specific business, ie. mentioning locations, but you get to see what keywords they think are important.

 

[Innovative Ecom]

moz Keyword Explorer

 

[Venchito Tampon]

You can use SEMRush for competitor organic keyword research, Keywordtool.io for long-tail keywords (useful for content creation) and Google related terms (below every SERP) for latent semantic indexing.

Here is a list of tools that will meet your needs for keyword research... backlinkoDOTcomSLASHkeyword-research-tools

 

[ruchisharma]

Google keyword planner is best keyword research tool. One can search keywords competition and searches based on area, country. I prefer google keyword planner.

 

[Tom_Dwan]

One more vote for Google Keyword Planner, although I also do not rely 100% on it as a few of you mentioned above that it shows only advertising data and things might be different when it comes to organic. I have tried a few more alternative like Keywordtool.io but you need the paid version to see search volume and I don't think without it you can make any significant assumptions. Someone mentioned A hrefs are you happy with its keyword planning possibilities? I have a paid account there but so far have used it only to track my competitors, check my top pages etc.

 

[benlovell]

I can really recommend LongTail Pro

 

[NedSTARk]

I recently found for myself a new service ( looks like semrush but is cheaper and simple) k-meta.com

 

[Hsteele]

Semrush is more preferable, if you have its paid account. It gives you not only a keyword density and PPC but its main alternatives you can also use.

 

[connectedstars]

keywordspy is one of best research tool. It suggests you the most searched keywords for your queries in a convenient way and related keywords also.

 

[webgeek]

Semrush is more preferable, if you have its paid account. It gives you not only a keyword density and PPC but its main alternatives you can also use.

The historical keyword rankings of competitors within a market segment, is awesome information. Knowing that it's only a subset of all the possible ranking terms, must be kept in mind, but seeing the shift over time, expanding footprints, new ranking pages, plus a bit of archive.org and the backlinks + google updates, and you can piece together who is doing what picture of the landscape with a minimum of data sources and effort.

[Scott@KarmaContent]

My best keyword research tool? Myself. Does that make me a tool?

Seriously though, people rely too much on Google Keyword Planner and other tools. Lots of terms that I get great traffic for on my content writing website and some other sites I have don't even appear on Google Keyword Planner.

What's also apparent is that the Keyword Planner is often wrong. I can't remember the exact instance now but recently it was trying to tell me that there were thousands of searches per month in the UK for a blatantly American term for a UK item.

Google Keyword Planner and other tools can play a big part in your keyword research but common sense should be your first port of call.

If you're looking for keywords about 'swimming pool installation', think what you would search for and what your target customers would search for and use that rather than just relying on keyword tools.

I recommended for Google Keyword Planner.
