Keyword research is practically impossible to do without specialized tools. And if you’re only starting out or have a tight budget, here are some free keyword research tools for you:
- Google Search Console – It shows all of the search queries that your website is currently ranking for and getting clicks from.
- Ahrefs Webmaster Tools – This is our free plan, which is very similar to Google Search Console. But other than showing you what keywords your website is ranking for, we also show you their Keyword Difficulty (KD) scores.
- Google Keyword Planner – It’s a tool for those who want to run ads in Google. But SEOs, too, can get some value from using it.
- Keyword Generator – Our free tool for generating keyword ideas.
- Keyword Difficulty Checker – Our free tool for checking the ranking difficulty of a keyword.
And once you get truly serious about growing the search traffic of your website, make sure to sign up for Ahrefs and give Keywords Explorer a spin. This tool has pretty much everything you need to perform expert-level keyword research and discover some lucrative keyword ideas.
