Free Keyword Planner — Find SEO Keywords That Convert

How to Find Keywords in 3 Steps ?

Step 1: Enter Your Topic

Type any keyword or topic you want to rank for. Could be "running shoes," "email marketing tools," "best pizza in London" — anything you want to rank for in Google.

Step 2: See the Results

We show you search volume (how many people search this monthly), keyword difficulty (0-100 scale, lower is easier), and opportunity score (which keywords are worth your time). This is the data you need to make smart content decisions.

Step 3: Plan Your Content

Pick the keywords with high search volume and low difficulty. These are your quick wins. Create blog posts, landing pages, or product pages targeting these keywords. In 4-8 weeks, you'll see traffic.

What This Tool Shows You?

Search Volume

How many people search this keyword every month. High volume = more potential traffic. Low volume = niche but less traffic. You want the sweet spot: 100-500 searches/month for fastest results.

Keyword Difficulty

How hard it is to rank for this keyword. 0-20 = easy (you can rank in 4-8 weeks). 20-40 = medium (you can rank in 2-3 months). 40+ = hard (you need a powerful website or paid ads). Start with easy keywords to build momentum.

Opportunity Score

Which keywords have the best balance of search volume and low competition. High opportunity = lots of people searching, but not many results. This is where you'll get fast rankings.

Related Keywords

Our tool shows related keywords and variations. Find "email marketing tools," "best email marketing software," "email automation tools" — different angles on the same topic. Build a content cluster around these related keywords.

Frequently asked questions

Is this keyword planner really free?

Yes, 100% free. No credit card, no signup, no hidden fees. We built this tool to help freelancers and agencies do their own keyword research without spending $300/month on enterprise tools. Use it as much as you want.

How accurate is the search volume data?

Our data comes from Google Search Console and industry benchmarks. Accuracy is 85-95%. Google doesn't release exact search volume numbers, so there's always a 10-15% margin of error. But it's directionally accurate — a keyword showing 500 searches is definitely more popular than one showing 50 searches.

What's a good keyword difficulty score to target?

If your website is brand new: target keywords with difficulty 0-15. You'll rank in 4-8 weeks.

If your website is 6+ months old: target keywords with difficulty 15-30. You'll rank in 2-3 months.

If your website has authority: target difficulty 30-50+. You can compete with bigger sites.

Don't be tempted by high-volume keywords with high difficulty. Easy wins first, then scale.

What's search intent and why does it matter?

Search intent is what the user actually wants when they search. "Best running shoes" = shopping intent (they want to buy). "How to choose running shoes" = informational intent (they want to learn). "Adidas running shoes" = brand intent (they want a specific brand).

Match your content to the intent. Write a buying guide for commercial keywords. Write tutorials for informational keywords. Don't write a guide for a commercial keyword — you won't rank because your content doesn't match what the searcher wants.

Should I focus on long-tail or short-tail keywords?

Both, but start with long-tail (3+ word keywords like "best email marketing tools for small business"). They have lower difficulty and lower competition. Short-tail keywords ("email marketing") have huge volume but huge competition.

Your strategy: 70% long-tail keywords (your quick wins), 30% short-tail keywords (your long-term bets). Long-tail gives you fast rankings and momentum. Short-tail gives you bigger traffic once you build authority.

What if I find a keyword with high volume and low difficulty?

That's the jackpot. Create content targeting that keyword immediately. You'll rank fast (4-8 weeks) and get lots of traffic. These are the keywords that drive business growth. Our opportunity score helps you find exactly these gems.
