Can I win this keyword?

Stop writing pages that never reach page one

Every keyword carries a 0–100 difficulty score read from the pages already ranking. Sort any list by difficulty, keep rows with real volume, and you have a shortlist a new site can rank for this quarter — not next year.

sort difficulty ↑ → filter volume > 100 → publish

What kind of page should this be?

Match the intent before you write a word

Each keyword is labelled Informational, Commercial, Buy, Brand or Local based on what already ranks. A guide written for a “buy” keyword will not rank — the label tells you whether Google wants a tutorial, a comparison or a product page.

When should I publish?

See the 12-month trend, not a flat average

An average of 5,000 searches hides a December spike or a topic that is quietly dying. Every row shows twelve months of volume so you publish seasonal pieces six weeks before demand peaks and drop keywords that are already fading.

look trend ↗ rising → schedule 6 weeks before the peak

How it works

Seed to shortlist in under a minute.

  1. Enter a seed and pick a country

    A product, a problem or a question, 2–100 characters. Choose one of 15 country databases so “trainers” in the UK is not measured with US numbers.

  2. Read the overview

    Volume, a difficulty dial, intent, CPC, competition, a 12-month trend and the SERP features the results page carries — on one screen.

  3. Mine three lists, export free

    Related keywords, broader ideas and real questions, 10 each, sortable by volume, difficulty or CPC. Copy the list or export everything as CSV.

Read the table like an SEO

What each number means — and what to do with it.

Search volume

searches / month · per country

An average from Google search data, not a promise. Seasonal terms swing far above and below it.

Use it to size the opportunity before you invest in a page.

Difficulty

0–100 · from the ranking pages

Under 30 is realistic for new sites. Over 60 usually needs authority and links.

Use it to pick battles you can win this quarter.

Intent

Info · Commercial · Buy · Brand · Local

Classified from what already ranks. It tells you the format Google rewards.

Use it to choose guide, comparison or product page before writing.

CPC

USD per click · Google Ads data

A high CPC means advertisers make money on this term — commercial value even for organic.

Use it to prioritize keywords worth ranking for.

12-month trend

monthly volumes · last year

Rising lines beat flat averages. A December spike tells you when to publish.

Use it to time your content calendar to demand.

Competition

0–1 · advertiser density

How crowded the paid auction is. High competition with high CPC flags a lucrative niche.

Use it to spot money keywords for commercial pages.

All metrics come from live keyword data. When no data exists for a term we show “—” rather than inventing a number.

Who it's for

Built for the moment before you write.

Bloggers picking the next post

Sort by difficulty, find the low-competition angle with real volume, publish where you can rank.

Freelancers scoping clients

Pull volume, difficulty and intent for a client's seeds in minutes, with a CSV for the proposal.

Content teams planning quarters

Build topic hubs from the questions list and schedule seasonal pieces from the trend lines.

Founders validating demand

Check whether anyone searches for the problem you solve — and what advertisers pay to reach them.

Keyword Planner requires a Google Ads account and shows volume buckets unless you run ads. Autocomplete tools (keywordtool.io, keyword.io and similar) are great for breadth; they lock volume and difficulty behind paid plans.

FAQ

Keyword research, answered.

Is this keyword research tool really free?

Yes. You get 3 searches a day without an account. Each returns the seed overview plus 30+ ideas with every metric visible, and CSV export. A free seotools.pro account raises the cap; paid plans remove it.

Where does the keyword data come from?

From Google and AI search data for the country you pick. Difficulty is estimated from the strength of the pages currently ranking. If a term has no data we show “—”.

What does the difficulty score mean?

A 0–100 estimate of how hard page one is, based on the authority of the ranking pages. Under 30 is generally winnable for newer sites; over 60 usually demands strong links. A guide for prioritization, not a guarantee.

How do I choose which keywords to target first?

Sort by difficulty ascending and keep keywords with meaningful volume — that is your winnable shortlist. Then check intent so each page matches what searchers expect, and use the trend line to schedule seasonal topics.

Is this a Google Keyword Planner alternative?

Yes. Keyword Planner needs a Google Ads account and shows ranges unless you spend. This tool needs no account and shows exact average volume, a difficulty score and intent — which Keyword Planner does not provide.

Can I export the keywords?

Yes. Copy any list, or export all three lists as CSV without creating an account.

Stop guessing what people search for.
