FREE KEYWORD RESEARCH AND SEO TOOLS

Google Keyword Planner

Google Keyword Planner is a free keyword planner tool that makes it easy to find new keyword ideas for your business. It can help you discover long-tail keywords, which are the phrases people type into search engines when they're looking for something specific.


Don't be left behind in your keyword research—if you haven't used Google's Keyword Planner to gather keyword ideas and search volume data, why not start now?


Although it primarily focuses on supporting your PPC campaigns, Google Ads can also help lay the groundwork for your SEO efforts.

When you type a keyword into Google Keyword Planner, it will show you:


Daily search volume for that keyword. The number of times people in the world search for that term each day.


Estimated cost per click (CPC) for the keyword. The amount advertisers typically pay to have their ads show up when people search for this term on Google Search and YouTube. This figure varies depending on several factors, like the advertiser's bid, the quality of your ad and other factors. 


The AdWords system automatically sets your bids based on algorithms. Still, we recommend using manual CPC bidding so that you can set them as high as possible without exceeding your budget or targeting too many impressions from low-quality clicks (i.e., those from bots).


The average ranking position of the top five ads is shown above an organic result when someone searches for this term on Google Search (the "SERP"). This figure shows how well an average ad performs compared to other ads in the same position.



Keywords Everywhere

Keyword Everywhere is a Chrome extension that allows users to find and replace keywords on any web page. It's currently available for free on the Chrome Web Store.


Keyword Everywhere add-on is the first real solution to find and replace keywords on any web page. The extension works with any text editor, including browsers' built-in ones and Google Docs. It also integrates with popular online services like Evernote, Buffer, Hootsuite, Feedly and many others.


The main idea behind Keyword Everywhere is to make it as easy as possible to find and replace keywords in any text using one of the most powerful search engines available today: Google Search!


Keyword Everywhere can be used in two ways: as a bookmarklet or as an extension. As a bookmarklet, it works on all websites and most email clients. As an extension, it works only on Firefox (and other Mozilla-based browsers).


As a bookmarklet, Keyword Everywhere adds a button to your browser's toolbar, which can be clicked anytime you want to check what words are included on the current page. As an extension, this button appears next to your address bar whenever there are words on the current page that match its keywords list (which includes hundreds of words from many languages).



3. LSIGraph

LSIGraph

LSIGraph lets you three free searches a day to find semantically related keywords.

The service also allows you to add your own data to the cloud so other users can benefit from it as well. The result is that LSIGraph offers more relevant search results than Google or any other search engine out there.


LSIGraph will also provide the top 10 search results for each keyword, along with their estimated monthly search volumes and CPCs.


This is an easy and quick solution to get some ideas for new keywords, as well as compare your existing ones against the competition.


If you are trying to rank for “digital marketing tools,” consider adding some of these unique words to your post: “definition,” “free,” “essential,” and “best.”


TIP: You can also use thesaurus.com to find words related to your topic.

Schema Markup Generator is a free, easy-to-use tool that helps you generate the code you need to add schema markup to your website. It's a simple, one-page tool that will work with any website, whether it's built on WordPress or not.


The generator lets you choose between two types of markup:

  • Rich snippets (also known as structured data) are search engine optimization (SEO) tools that help your website appear in search results with more information about itself. Rich snippets are generated by a special type of HTML code called schema markup. The Schema Markup Generator can help you generate the code needed to add rich snippets to your website.
  • Structured data is another type of HTML code that allows websites to provide more information about themselves without relying on third-party services like Google Search Console or Facebook Open Graph. Structured data uses specific codes called microdata to convey meaning about individual elements on a page; for example, if an product has a "price" attribute, it will be possible for search engines to retrieve and display this information when showing the item in search results. The Schema Markup Generator can help you generate the code needed for adding structured data to your website.


9. Screaming Frog

Screaming Frog

Screaming Frog is a desktop application that enables users to crawl websites and produce a report of all page elements. As such, it is used by SEOs to uncover broken links, duplicate content, and many other issues related to website structure.

Screaming Frog’s SEO Spider is a powerful site crawling tool, able to crawl both small and very large sites efficiently while allowing you to analyze the results in real-time.


The SEO Spider has an intuitive interface that makes it easy for anyone to use: just enter the URL of your website and start crawling! Screaming Frog will then fetch all pages from your site, parse them using its proprietary parser (based on Apache Tika) and store all discovered elements in an SQL database for later analysis.


The resulting data can be exported as CSV files or viewed directly in the interface: you can sort by status (for example, “404 Not Found”), type (for example “, Image”), size or external links, filter by hostname or path, and view detailed information on each element.


10. Open Site Explorer

Open Site Explorer

Open Site Explorer is a free site explorer tool that lets you search for links pointing to any website and also analyze inbound and outbound links.


It can also help you find new link opportunities, find out who's linking to your competitors, and discover the keywords that your competitors rank for.


Using Open Site Explorer is easy. Just enter the URL of any website you'd like to analyze into the search bar and click "
Check." You will be given a list of all the pages on that site, along with their social shares, links, and more!


Open Site Explorer also has some great features that are not available on other free tools such as
MajesticSEO. It allows you to run backlink history reports and export link data in multiple formats (CSV, JSON, PDF).


The downside is that this tool does not provide a lot of information about each individual backlink as

Google Tag Manager is a free, easy-to-use tag management system that allows you to set up, manage and report the tags and codes on your website.


Google Tag Manager manages the
code snippets (or "tags") placed on your website by third-party vendors such as Google Analytics, Facebook or Twitter. The Google Tag Manager code tells the vendor which of your pages or events you want to track.


Google Tag Manager does not collect web page data; instead, it manages the deployment of data collection scripts or tags provided by outside vendors such as Google Analytics.


This approach has many benefits:

  • It's easy to test new tag ideas without affecting your live site because the script does not load until after you've tried it.
  • You can change tag configurations without going back into code (although some customizations may require coding).
  • You can manage multiple sites from one interface by using templates or workflows.


Google Tag Manager can be used with
Google Analytics, AdWords, DoubleClick and other services from the Google Marketing Platform.


8. Optimize Google

Optimize Google

Optimize Google is another Google tool that makes it simple to A/B test different items on your site (CTAs, headlines, layout of content).


The Optimize app is available on the
Google Play Store and the App Store. You can also use the Optimize website to run experiments and collect data.


Optimize Google
allows you to set up an experiment between two versions of your website using different headlines or photos. Once you have set up an investigation, you can send traffic from Facebook Ads Manager or AdWords campaigns to those pages to start collecting data about which version performs better.


Once you have collected enough information from your experiment, Optimize will show you which
version performed better and suggest what changes you can make on your website based on this information.


Optimize Google is also a great way to see
what works best on your website without hiring someone or paying a lot of money. The only downside is that Optimize Google doesn't have as many options as other tools, such as VWO or Optimizely, but it's still worth considering if you don't have time or money for those options.

Google Spreadsheets' import function.


It will reduce link juice (and thus the ability of your pages to rank in Google). This is particularly useful if you have been penalized by Google for poor-quality links or violating their guidelines.
