Free Keyword and SEO Tools for 2022
#1
Here's a list of free keyword tools and tips for a variety of resources. Some of these free resources have limited free use so be sure to check before you use them up.

Bookmark this page: Instead of having a bunch of browser bookmarks I put my favorite keyword related tools here. You can do the same and add your own favorites and comments below.

 
Keyword.io - I often start my searches here.  Generally uses "suggestions" from the drop down options for Google, YouTube, Bing, Amazon, eBay, Play Store, Instagram, Twitter. I like it because of the filters and the ability to filter for questions.

AnswerThePublic - You only get two free searches a day now. Make them count.
https://answerthepublic.com/

Answer Socrates - Similar to Answer the Public, not quite as good but without the restrictions.
https://answersocrates.com/


AlsoAsked - These are questions people have asked...possibly the main benefit is actually for copywriting. I tried it and the first time it worked great so I created a free account. I've tried 6-7 searches since and it just "hangs". Will try again.
https://alsoasked.com/

 
WordStream - IMO the closest to a real "LSI" (co-citation) tool. Instead of just giving lists of keywords with the same root word, it gives related words too that don't share "root" words.
https://www.wordstream.com/keywords

 
LSI Graph - Also includes "semantically related" keyword phrases along with some other good info. Really good for creating web pages about a subject.

Keyword "Sheeter" - Creates BIG lists of keywords based on the same root keyword:

Side-by-Side SEO Comparison Tool - Enter two or more URLs to compare the SEO of the pages.

Keyword Chef is an interesting keyword tool;
https://keywordchef.com/

It has a couple of cool features, especially how it rates competition for keywords. When you enter a root keyword, Keyword Chef grabs the top 10 URLs for each keyword phrase and then shows the number of "weak" sites in the Top 10 for that keyword phrase.

"Weak" sites are generally User Generated Content sites like Pinterest, Quora, Reddit and forums (like this one). If you see quite a few of these sites at the top of the ranking, the general wisdom is these keyword phrases have weaker competition.

On the other end of the scale, if you see a bunch of big sites dedicated to a specific niche, you should probably assume it will be much harder to get a top ranking for these keywords.

Here's a sample results page from Keyword Chef:
https://keywordchef.com/Discover/Reports...86fdef3fc9

Note the green dots with numbers under the "SERP" column. The number is the number of weak sites. The higher the better.

Other keyword tools include the top ten sites, but not the number of "weak" sites. Although, you can do a quick visual spot-check.

The con is, Keyword Chef seems pretty expensive. $20 only gets you results for 1200 keywords and cheaper if you purchase in larger amounts. But for the price, i believe there are better values even though I really like the compeition checker feature.

They do have a free trial, but I couldn't find any details.
