When I first started, I was exactly where you are today. I knew how to work on my SEO<\/a> but I didn’t want to break the bank for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So what did I do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n I figured out how to fully work on my SEO completely for free<\/strong> and that is what I want to share with you today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I found 4 great keyword research tools<\/strong> that were free to use with no sign-up required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, it may take a little bit longer taking the free route but you will not only be able to have a better understanding of how SEO works, but you will also be able to save money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So today, I am giving you 4 amazing SEO tools<\/strong> that you can start using completely for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some great SEO tools that I have now used for years and that are fully capable of helping you boost your SEO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I use these for both my youtube channel<\/a> and my websites so these are one-size-fits-all tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of them has even helped me rank very quickly on Google<\/strong> search but more about that when I get to that tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now before we get started, if you feel like you need to learn a bit more about the basics of SEO, then I recommend you read my beginners guide to SEO<\/a> first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are looking for an easy and simple way to find keywords then Answer the Public<\/a> is going to be a great tool for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This tool gathers all of the search terms and keywords from Google’s database<\/strong> and presents it to you in a unique visual cloud (or web, as I call it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the only tool that I have found so far that presents keywords in this way and it is very innovative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only that, but it is also very beginner-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It does have a paid tier as well, but with the free version, you will be able to do 3 free searches every day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You may be thinking: WHAT?! ONLY 3??<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Trust me, 3 is more than enough.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let me show you why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply head over to Answer the Public<\/a> and type in the keyword that you want to research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With that single keyword, Answer the Public<\/strong> will give you dozens or hundreds of other keywords related to that search term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It will also categorize them in the most popular search prefixes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laying it out in this way is guaranteed to give you long-tail keywords that are going to be much easier for you to rank for on Google.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer the Public is perfect for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, it is a perfect platform that can be used by many. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it is best to pair it with one of the other following SEO tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because you do not get any keyword or SEO scores<\/strong> when you use Answer the Public. Having a keyword score is important when doing SEO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So let’s look at the other tools that you can pair it with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This one is another highly underrated tool that is very powerful and honestly, deserves more hype. H-Supertools<\/a> is a suite of SEO tools created by Hasan from H-Educated<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He is a digital entrepreneur who has helped thousands of people grow online and create an income from different online platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I have been subscribed to his channel for years and his tips have helped me grow my online platform as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hasan has created a suite of SEO tools that are great for digital content creators. My 3 favorite SEO tools from his platform are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n With these amazing tools, you will be able to find keywords, find the search volume, look at the competition, and look at the CPC for the keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n H-Supertools<\/strong> has an amazing user interface and is very beginner-friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All you have to do is enter your keyword into the search bar and you will get all the information you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an excellent tool to use alongside with Answer the Public<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will get all the information you need to be able to decide whether this keyword is worth targeting or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have to say, it is one of the easiest keyword tools that I have ever used and I recommend it to anyone who is a beginner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have done any research about SEO tools then you know that Ahrefs<\/a> is one of the SEO powerhouses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And for good reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This one tool not only can analyze your entire website, domain, backlinks, SEO<\/strong>, and so much more. But it also is one of the best (if not, the best) keyword research tools on the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It literally will cut all of your work in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it is also super expensive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am talking $99 a month expensive.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So you can imagine my relief when I found out that they have a free keyword generator tool<\/a> that they give everybody access to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compared to their robust Ahrefs <\/a>tool, their keyword generator is very simple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You enter your keyword and choose which country you are trying to target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then click “Find Keywords.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no cap on how many keywords you can research. However, once you do a couple of researchers in a row, you will start to get some Recaptchas <\/strong>that you will have to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After this you will get a list where you see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will also be able to see when the information for each keyword was last updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What you want to focus on are the KD and volume.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n What Ahrefs <\/strong>is good at is telling you how hard it is going to be for you to rank<\/strong> for certain keywords. So as you can see in the image above, the general term “web hosting”<\/strong> is way too hard for me to try to aim for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You want to aim for keywords that are light to dark green<\/strong>. The lower the number, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where you can click “Questions” <\/strong>to get more longtail keywords. You can see in the image below that I get keywords that are more in the green and easier to target.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From there you can even take it a step further and take one of the green keywords<\/strong>, and enter it into the search bar again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, I will take “what is web hosting?”<\/strong> and redo a search. If you are lucky, you will get an even easier keyword that you can possibly rank for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, it is very simple and straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last but not least, we come to my own personal favorite which is Google’s very own Keyword Planner.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember how I mentioned that there was one tool that helped me rank on Google faster? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the one.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have talked about this tool on this blog and on my youtube channel several times before. I even have full tutorials about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is hands-down one of the tools that I use the most for both my Youtube channel<\/a> and blogs and the best thing is that it is totally free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just to give you some perspective, I have been blogging for three months and these are the results that I have gotten from using this tool:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google SEO usually doesn’t kick in for about 6 months<\/strong> but as you can see, it is already starting to work its magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people do not know this, but Google Ads has its very own keyword research tool incorporated into the platform. It is completely free for anyone who has a Google Ads account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to learn how you can get access for free (without running ads) then you can read the full tutorial<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google Keywords Planner<\/a> gives you all the search terms that people are typing into Google. So you get all of the information straight from the source itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be a bit intimidating as the under interface is a bit more complicated than the others. But you will easily get used to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I already have a full guide and tutorial<\/a> showing how to use the tool but I will sum it up for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first thing you need to do is make sure that your language and target country settings are correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enter the keyword that you want to research and then click “Get Results.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From there you will get a full list showing you the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You do not need to focus on bid ranges for now so no need to look at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Look at the keywords that you get and filter them so that you get the keywords with the most search volumes and lowest competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you do this you will find some good target keywords that you will be able to do add to your titles and descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the true power of this tool is for tags<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The list of keywords that you get for your search term can easily be added as tags as well<\/strong>. When I look at my analytics, I see that I rank for a lot of my tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of my tags come from Google Keyword Planner<\/strong> and they have brought in a lot more traffic this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But that’s not all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I also use them as tags in my youtube description<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and this month, the SEO really kicked in as you can see below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Youtube search and Google Search<\/strong> are now my top two sources of traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So do not underestimate the power of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SEO is by far one of my favorite things to do and to talk about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, why I already got the name “The SEO Queen.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n But it’s because I know how powerful it can be. Search traffic<\/strong> is the only traffic that you should be targeting. It is the only organic traffic that can guarantee some kind of scalability for your online platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google <\/strong>gets around 3 billion searches every month<\/a> and Youtube <\/strong>gets around 3 million every day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Those are crazy numbers but there is one takeaway from them: people are looking for information.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n So why not target the traffic that you know is already there and is bound to come in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to mention, getting organic traffic is the fastest way to boost your domain and\/or channel authority.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I know it takes time, but trust me, the months fly by so quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you know it, the traffic will find you and you will have gotten all the fruits of your labor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Want to work on your SEO without having to break the bank?
