I'm an SEO on Fiverr with about 3-5 clients monthly for my keyword research gig. Using SEM rush and Ahrefs is a bit expensive. Can you suggest the best keyword research tools out there under $50/month? Thanks
Hello guys! I've been reading this sub for a long time now and decided to finally start! However, I've been struggling with the keyword research, mainly because all the good tools are paid: Moz, Semrush, Ahrefs. I don't have the money to spend on these tools right now, so I was wondering if there's any good tool that I could use for free. I've seen some Chrome extensions that do provide some info on keywords, but I'm not quite sure if they're as reliable as the famous ones. Is there any good free option? Thanks.

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to SEO. Since I'll be working as a content writer soon (no business/website/topic selected yet) I want to practice and use a good free keyword oriented tool. Would be very appreciative if some of you kind members of this community help me out! 😁
(Quick note: Google Keyword Planner is a nightmare to set up but am trying)
Thank you so much.
Edit: Just fyi, I do have some (a bit of) keyword knowledge. I know about short-tail, long-tail and LSI keywords. I've also read and watched course videos about good practices and things to avoid while using keywords, but any good knowledge (even if I might have a basic idea of it) is welcome!! Give me tips if you can along with the tool recommendations! Thank you so much, cheers.
I used to use Ahrefs and had some really great results off the back of doing keyword research on it. However, it’s now too expensive for my new project. I have also used the keyword tool that Google has to offer on Adwords, but I don’t find it that good or accurate. I have tried asking ChatGPT but the results are very mixed and again, inaccurate and sometimes even contradictory.
Any tips on good ones that work well and are free or cheap? Thanks
Hey guys!
One of my clients put together a blog post about free keyword research tools a while back.
I keep chickening out of sharing it here, but I feel like this community really would find a lot of value in it. It's been quite helpful for me, personally.
I suggested a couple of the tools that made it onto the list, including the SEOBook keyword tool and KeywordShitter. I also compiled a research document for him detailing what kind of content was already out there on this topic, for "skyscraper technique" purposes.
Here's a link to the blog post, but don't worry, you'll find a TL;DR and full list of the tools below.
The tools are divided into three broad categories:
-
Keyword research tools that give data about things like search volume. (E.g. the SEOBook Keyword Research Tool.)
-
Longtail keyword tools that don't give said data, and which generally draw from Google Suggest. (E.g. KeywordShitter)
-
Tools that are a little different and unique, but still relevant for this list. (E.g. Answer the Public.)
Some of these are 100% free. Others are paid but affordable, and/or have a free trial you can use.
In the blog post, he's also compared the search volume and other data from these free tools with info for the same keywords generated by SEMRush, which his agency uses. For the most part, there weren't any substantial discrepancies.
Here's the full list of tools.
Tools that give detailed info (search volume, etc.)
-
SEOBook.. I stumbled across this guy's blog one day, and it's a fascinating read. He's quite critical of Google, and not exactly optimistic about the future of SEO. I recommend checking it out. I binge read all his content one evening, and that's pretty rare for me. The keyword tool is free, with a free account.
-
Serps.com Keyword Tool. This is another good one. It's a free trial for a paid tool, but iirc, it's quite affordable if you decide on a paid subscription.
-
KW Finder. This is another affordable paid tool with a free subscription. Charlie actually uses this one regularly at Finetune Digital. I do too, and I'd recommend it.
-
SEMRush Free Trial. This link takes you to a free 14 day trial of SEMRush. (This is another tool Charlie uses regularly.) It's only a 2-week trial, but worth considering if you're laying the groundwork for a new site, and you can get what you need within that time frame.
-
Moz Keyword Explorer Free Trial. To be quite frank, I haven't heard much that's positive about Moz from SEO pros. It's not really considered the best SaaS in its class, but you can do up to three searches a day (iirc) using their Keyword Explorer. (Side note: Moz is the very portrait of content marketing done right. If you're implementing content marketing strategies yourself, take a look "between the lines" at what they're doing.)
Tools that generate longtail keywords, usually by way of Google Suggest.
-
KeywordShitter. This was created by a Redditor, and I love its simplicity. Don't let the minimalistic interface fool you -- it's actually quite a useful tool. I've used it in the past to come up with blog post ideas for clients in industries where, once you've covered the basics, it's surprisingly challenging to come up with content topics. (Notably a moving company.)
-
Keyword.io. This works similarly to KeywordShitter. I've also found it useful for finding fresh content ideas based on longtail searches.
-
UberSuggest. Recently acquired by Neil Patel, this one generates a nifty word cloud, in addition to a beefy list of longtail keywords.
-
KeywordTool.io. Similar to both of the above, also useful.
-
WordstreamKeyword Tool. You can search for free, but it fuzzes out the search volume and other data unless you've got a paid subscription.
-
Longtail Pro 7 Day Trial ($1). It's not free per se, but at $1, it may as well be. I've never used it myself, but I've heard good things about it.
Tools that do something a little bit different.
These tools are great for market research. I use Answer the People on a regular basis.
-
Answer the Public. This is actually a pretty badass tool for finding common questions your target audience is asking. It focuses on two types of searches: those in question form (who, what, why, etc.), and those beginning with prepositions (on, around, without, etc.). It generates a cool visual chart, as well as a big list of common searches.
-
Bulk Keyword Generator. This one is unique in that it focuses specifically on keyword research for local service businesses. (Think plumbers, landscapers, etc.)
-
FAQ Fox. This one scrapes Reddit and Quora for questions and discussions.
So, that's the list. Again, I figured I'd share it here because it seems like the kind of thing people here would be into. My apologies to the mods and the community if this is considered self-promotion, as I know the guy that wrote this.
I want to learn seo practically. But most of the time when I search tutorial on YouTube, they mostly use paid tools like semrush, ahrefs or ubersuugest. They mostly use the paid version and I don't have money. So is their any other way to do keyword research and overall seo for free?
Hi guys,
I'm a content writer, working at a marketing company. I'm fairly new to the field and I'm writing content for the company - landing page content, product descriptions etc. My job is to write content for various brands that have collaborated with us. I do the creative part, but keyword research, search volume, ads are done by the Performance Marketer. These keywords are then passed on to me in integrate in my writing.
I am quite good at content but I want to upskil myself technically, as content and SEO go hand in hand. I want to prep for my next job (my contract ends in 2months). I have completed a course on SEO by Hubspot, and learnt my basics -keyword research, technical SEO, backlinking, On page SEO. Now, I want to implement my learnings starting with keyword research.
I tried using Google Keyword Planner (I was told it's free), However I have to pay Rs 12/day to complete my sign in.
-
Suggest me a Keyword research tools that is actually FREE
-
Also suggest how I can move forward to actually implement my learnings for my next job.

Which skills are the most important if I'm applying for a content writing/ SEO content writing job?
Hi,
I am starting to work on my website's SEO and do not have a big budget and would love to use a free keyword research tool that helps me find long tail low competition keywords.
Any free recommendation or are there only paid services?
Keyword Tool Dominator is the closest thing I could find to a completely free tool
I'm a freelance copywriter working in some highly competitive industries. I had access to an SEMRush account, but that arrangement has finished and I'm hesitant to take on the full cost of the account myself (workflow can be a bit up-and-down at the moment).
I mostly use it for keyword research and competitor research.
What are your favourite tools? I've read all the comparisons with Ahrefs, Moz, etc. but I'm keen to hear personal experiences with these tools for this particularl purpose. TIA.
I know the most popular ones are Semrush and Ahrefs but they can be quite expensive.
I’m currently using Mangools for about $29/month but their daily keyword research limit is quite annoying.
Any suggestions?
I know there are free tools as well, but they’re quite limited.
