SEO Keyword Research

Data comes from the Google Ads keyword API via DataForSEO, which proxies the same underlying source as Google Keyword Planner. Monthly volumes are accurate within the same range bands Google's own tool reports.

Up to 5 keywords per run on the free tier. Enter one keyword per line in the input box.

United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy. Select your target country from the dropdown before running the tool.

CPC (cost-per-click) is the average amount advertisers pay per click for a keyword in Google Ads. A high CPC signals strong commercial intent — advertisers find the keyword valuable, which often means the audience is actively looking to buy or solve a problem.

KD is the organic keyword difficulty score from DataForSEO Labs — a 0–100 integer estimating how hard it is to rank on Google's first page for a keyword. 0 = almost no competition, 100 = near-impossible (think Wikipedia or Reddit). A score below 30 is generally winnable for a new site with good content; above 60 requires significant domain authority and backlinks. Target keywords with high monthly searches and a KD you can realistically beat.

No. 'Ad Competition' measures how many advertisers are bidding on a keyword in Google Ads (LOW = few advertisers, HIGH = many). It does not measure organic search ranking difficulty. A keyword can have LOW ad competition but a high KD — 'Reddit' is a clear example: almost no advertisers buy that keyword, but its KD is near 100 because you cannot outrank reddit.com. Use KD for organic SEO decisions; use Ad Competition and CPC for paid search.
