r/SEO on Reddit: Completely Free Keyword Research Tool?
October 31, 2023 -

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 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.

So I am going to apologize early for this being a longer answer but here it goes anyways. I have started just yesterday a 3 step process for keyword research. It is all completely 100% free. Now please understand that this method seems to be interesting for me and I am going to be watching how my final content appears with GSC. Step #1: goto keywordsheeter.com (not an affiliate link) and type in your seed keyword. This tool basically scrapes Google Search bar and instantly comes back with hundreds of potential keywords to use. Step #2: goto google keyword planner. You will need to setup an Adwords account if you do not already have one. Once inside the keyword planner, copy and paste about 250 of the potential keywords from keyword sheeter. Make sure that you have United States selected before you search those keywords. From those results organize them in a way that the results will display to you the searches with a minimum of 100 monthly searches. Step #3: Goto ahrefs. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page where it says Free SEO tools and click on Check Keyword Difficulty. If you are running a new blog then you are going to want to get the results that come up with an Easy rating of 0 - 9. Step #4: Start creating your content for those keywords. The entire process takes around an hour to an hour and a half. The reason being is because ahrefs keyword difficulty gives you a rating for organic traffic volume. Where as keyword planner is all about ad placement volume. Again I have just started this process for my new content so I cannot give you any kind of results that I have personally seen. It just seems like a more fun way for me to do keyword research. I sincerely hope this helps you.

r/Entrepreneur on Reddit: Here's a list of 14 free keyword research tools you can use for SEO, market research, content topic ideas, etc.
July 24, 2017 -

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'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.

r/SEO on Reddit: Best tool for keyword and competitor research (that doesn't cost a fortune)

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've tried ahrefs, it was okay but seemed quite inaccurate.

Any other recommendations?

With AI Mode, even SimilarWeb is hit and miss. It all stems from Keywords being so vast and anonymized. The keyword visibility that these tools have comes mostly from Google Ads. Volumes and specificty are about 1% accurate. It also doesnt account for the 25% of searches every day are brand new. If you're stuggling with exact data now, things are going to get worse - we're in the worst visiblity position since 2010... GDPR and Cookie opt-out is getting bigger Growth of direct traffic - most traffic tools are still based on a 1990s W3C concept of Browser Referral information: today, becuse of apps like EMail, Outlook, Reddit, Linkedin - all = direct raffic in GA4 Keyword encryption in google hidden AI Overview data hidden LLM Data This is not going to get better, even if you start adopting UTMs (which you should)

We use SEMRush currently and it's great if you use it to it's fullest potential. It does get very costly and we've found it to be innaccurate when it comes to the domain overview (we ran our client through it spending $50k/mo for over a year but it showed no estimated ads traffic). The best keyword/traffic tools are still Search Console and Microsoft Clarity/Webmaster Tools as it provides a foundation for where your website is at and where you can improve. Another tool, which I might trust more than SEMRush or Ahrefs, is Google Keyword Planner. Even though it's more focused for ads, you can get search volume data and forecasting from it.

I run a digital product development company and we are looking to approve across a few different vectors. One of them is the way we do early idea validation and something that we see as a really great tool is something that we can use to analyse search traffic for keywords by country.

What would be a platform that you would recommend? Since we are not looking for a full suite of SEO tools and analysis things like SEMrush seem to be a bit overkill, both in terms of features but mostly in terms of costs
