In this article, I’m going to list some free keyword research tools that can help you enhance your search visibility.

Newbie bloggers do not give any preference to Keyword research. They find any random topic and start publishing without optimizing it. And unfortunately, they do not achieve good rankings.

So, the question is how to get top rankings and more organic traffic. If you want the answer to these questions then you need to stick with this article. 

So here you go…

17 Most Keyword Research Tools 

A list of free keyword research tools (quick review)…

Almost all keyword tools are free and one or two are paid.  Of-course paid tools are great but with the free version, these tools offer nothing. On the other side, free tools like keyword anywhere and Ubersuggest offer you so much.

#1. TwinWord ideas

The best keyword suggestion tool you must check out is TwinWord. It is simple and straightforward.

You just need to put a raw keyword and hit enter, and it will start showing you a ton of long and short keyword ideas.

The list of keywords can be easily downloaded. But before that, you need to create an account.

If you already have a list of raw keywords, then you can import it and extract the keyword insights.

Similar to other keyword research tools, it gives you keyword insights like search volume, AdWords competition, and user search intent.

User intent shows the user’s search intention. For example, if you search “how to do keyword research”, it means you want to know something. It’s informational searcher intent.

On the other hand, if you search for ‘cheap SEO tools’, it means you already know the basics and looking to buy a cheap SEO tool. It’s a keyword with BUYING intent

However, it gives you an extensive collection of keywords, but if you want more ideas, then you should upgrade free version. 

The downside is that it doesn’t show keyword difficulty.

#2. Soovle

You know Soovle is super cool.

You must try it! It’s awesome…

It is one of my favorite free keyword research tools. I love this tool because it gives you instant results.

It has a straightforward design. It works very fast and only takes a fraction of a second to generate the keyword suggestion. 

With Soovle, you can drive multiple keyword ideas from various search engines quickly. (Like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Amazon, Wikipedia, Answer.com, and YouTube)

Moreover, you can download all keyword ideas without creating an account.

But unfortunately, you can’t find keyword difficulty.

#3. Google search console

Not an absolute keyword research tool instead, it can be used to track your keyword performance.

Google search console is an often overlooked keyword research tool that can be extremely powerful for suggesting you long-tail keyword phrases.

These are the phrases that people search on google and find your article. You can optimize your article for these phrases to increase the impression and rankings.

The primary reason to use the search console is the ability to see how your keyword is doing.

With this information, you can update your article and add these phrases within your article that would increase your ranking eventually.

However, it can’t generate new keyword ideas for you; instead, it helps you find very similar keyword phrases that can increase your ranking on SERP.

 

#4. Keyword shitter

If you want a ton of keyword ideas, then you’re in place. Keyword shitter is by far one of the real free keyword tools to use.

It has a straightforward interface. All you need is a raw keyword idea. As you put a natural keyword, it generates tons of keyword suggestions within a few seconds.

It generates a long list of keywords and the list goes on and on until you click the stop job button.

Aside from it, you can add filters to eliminate negative words or add positive words.

The critical thing to note is the keyword irrelevancy. I mean, you may not like what you see. You need to add filters to get exact results.

Moreover, you can’t see any keyword matrices like CPC, search volume, and keyword difficulty.

Keyword Shitter is not an excellent tool but it can give you tons of Keyword Ideas. However, I do not like this tool very much Because it does not give you any Information about key Metrics like CPC, Search Volume, etc. but it helps me to dig thousands of Keywords. 

 

#5. Keyword Guru

Keyword Guru; very similar to Soovle. You can either use Keyword Guru or Soovle. Both will give you the same results.

This free keyword research tool suggests you auto-completion from a variety of sources. Not just from Google, but other search engines like Bing, Yahoo, Amazon, etc.

Keyword Guru is not that advanced, but it at least gives you some best ideas from multiple search engines.

 

#6. Pinterest auto-Complete

It’s a free Pinterest feature similar to Google. It takes nothing so you must be familiar with it.

However, it is not that effective but can be used to find a few suggestions that help you rank your infographics or article on Pinterest.

It is not a separate tool instead, it is similar to Google’s auto-completion feature.

Whenever you start typing, it completes the phrase that is possibly your keyword.

Pinterest drives over 250M users every month, so better you don’t miss the opportunity. If you optimize your article for Pinterest, you have a different kind of audience that may bring more leads to you.

#7. Jaaxy

Jaaxy is the most advanced keyword research tool to my knowledge. It gives you all the additional information regarding any keyword. For example, if you type in a phrase say ‘small business strategies’ and hit enter, it will start generating a big list of keyword suggestions.

With this tool, it is easy to get the exact monthly search volume, and traffic which you will get once you rank for that particular keyword on the first page on Google.

Things I like best about this tool are the Keyword quality indicator (KQI), Quoted search results (QSR), and SEO.

With this information, you can find more profitable keywords for your business or blog.

On the right-hand sidebar, it shows you relevant long-tail keywords which you can use within your article to improve content relevancy and reduce the keyword stuffing.

It is not just a keyword instead, you can also check the keyword ranking on Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

No doubt, it generates thousands of keyword ideas, but the downside is that all are not for free. If you want full access, you need to upgrade it.

 

#8.SECockPit

Of course, not a free keyword research tool. You can only take a free trial for 30 days. After that pay for play.

But with this tool, you can find thousands of keywords in a matter of seconds.

Additionally, it can help you split out low completion keywords and also tell you the keywords with minimum CPC in Google Ads (AdWords).

It is compatible with any operating system. You can also get its app on the android play store.

I have never tried this tool but I find this tool when I was reading a post by Neil Patel on crazzyegg.com. 

According to that, it gives you tons of keyword suggestions in a very deep manner. But you will not get more information like search volume, CPC, & Adwords Competition. For this piece of information, you need to pay for the pro version of this tool.

They do not read everything from your post instead of that they only focus on the keywords, and synonyms and find out the conceptual relationship of your content with your keywords. So do not underestimate the power of Content.
