What is a keyword research tool?
A keyword research tool shows what people type into a search engine when they look for products, services or answers like yours. It helps you identify the queries your pages should target, see how often people search for them and find opportunities you did not think of. It is a basic part of search engine optimization and content marketing.
A keyword generator is the first step of that research. You give it a seed, such as a service, a product or a website, and it returns related keywords: synonyms, longer phrases, questions and variations with a city or a feature.
With search volume next to each one, you can see which topics have real demand and which ones almost nobody looks for. Paid tools such as keyword explorer products add more metrics, for example keyword difficulty, but the starting point is the same list.
What the keyword generator gives you
The tool is based on Google Keyword Planner data, the same data advertisers use to plan campaigns.
- Ideas from seed words: enter a few words that describe your business and get related keywords.
- Ideas from a website: use it as a website keyword generator: enter your site or a competitor's site and get the terms that fit its pages, a quick competitor analysis.
- Monthly search volume: average monthly volume for each keyword, so you can compare demand across topics.
- Long tail phrases: longer and more specific searches that are often easier to rank for and closer to a purchase.
How to read keyword ideas
Search volume
Shows demand, not traffic. A page in the top results gets only a share of it, and many keywords are seasonal.
Intent
Look at what the searcher wants: to learn, to compare or to buy. One page should serve one intent.
Relevance
A popular keyword is useless if it does not match what you sell. Remove ideas about other products, free alternatives or other cities.
Competition
Search the keyword and look at who ranks. Big brands and marketplaces in the top results mean high competition and keyword difficulty, so a small site should start with the right long tail terms.

Free keyword generator or full keyword research
For a small site, a free keyword generator and Google Keyword Planner can help you find the main topics. Planner is available for free inside a Google Ads account, but it is built for advertisers, and without active campaigns it may show ranges instead of exact numbers. Its competition column is about ads, not organic results.
AI keyword generators such as ChatGPT are good for brainstorming, but they do not have search volume data, so check every suggestion against real numbers before you plan content around it.
When the site grows, one list is not enough. The keyword research module in Rankmetr combines Planner, Search Console, autocomplete and competitor keywords, cleans the list, groups keywords by Google results and suggests a landing page for each group. The keyword generator is the free entry point to that analysis.
FAQ
How do I research keywords on Google?
Start with seed words for your products or services, get suggestions and search volume from a keyword tool such as Google Keyword Planner, then search the main terms to see who ranks and what kind of pages win.
Is Google Keyword Planner free?
Yes, it is free inside a Google Ads account. Without active ad spend it may show search volume as ranges rather than exact numbers.
How do I check the search volume of keywords?
Use a tool based on Google data, such as Keyword Planner or a keyword generator built on it. Remember that volume is an average and many keywords change by season.
What are examples of keywords?
A short keyword is a broad term like running shoes. A long tail keyword is more specific, like waterproof trail running shoes for women. Long tail terms usually have less volume and clearer intent.
What should I put in a keyword generator?
The words your customers would use, not internal jargon: the service, the product, the problem it solves, and your city if you work locally.
Can an AI keyword generator replace keyword research?
No. AI is useful for brainstorming and grouping, but it does not know real search volume or who ranks today. Use it together with search data.
Do you show Yandex data?
No. The tool uses Google data only.
