Many creators spend lots of time and effort to create content, due to lack of knowledge about keyword research they can’t get organic traffic from search engines.
To be on top of google and to beat your competitors you must have to do serious keyword research about your topic.
As a beginner, you don’t have to spend a bunch of money on keyword research tools. There are lots of free keyword research tools available on the internet. But for perfection, I like that paid tools not only show the most perfect results but offer lots of other features, too.
Till the year 2020, I guess this (shown below) tools will be on top to do keyword research.
Here are the Top 5 Keyword Research Tools which according to my research.
Page Contents
1. Ahref
Ahrefs is the most powerful and accurate tool to do keyword research and it also offers lots of other features like site audit, backlink research, content research and much more.
This tool also shows Keyword Difficulty and Search Volume, plus advanced metrics like Return rate, Clicks, and Clicks / Search. That Clicks and Return rate features are very useful.
But they charge money for using this tool. But they have also 7-day trail in just $7, for those who want to test this tool and don’t want to pay all the money.
Here is its pricing list and if you chose Annual billing then you will get an extra 2 months free.
If you are planning for the long run, then I will suggest going with the Annual Billing option.
