Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the keyword research tool.
Is the keyword research tool free?
Yes. It is free to use with no signup and no credit card. Enter a keyword and you get search volume, CPC, competition and trends straight away.
What does the Competition score measure?
Competition shows how strongly advertisers bid on the keyword in Google Ads, on a scale from 0 to 100 (Low, Medium or High). It measures paid competition, not how hard it is to rank organically. A high score tells you the keyword is valuable to businesses; to judge organic difficulty, look at who ranks in the live top results.
How do I find keywords that are easy to rank for?
Start with a specific, longer phrase, filter for at least 100 monthly searches, then check the live top results. If page one includes forum threads, thin articles or small sites, you have a realistic opening. Our guide to finding low competition keywords walks through it step by step.
Where does the data come from?
Search volume, CPC and competition come from third-party SEO data providers. The top results are fetched live from Google for the country you choose.
Which countries are supported?
