​If you have ever wondered:

​"Which is the best keyword research tool in the market?"

​Let's get started:

​Keyword research is the most important aspects of SEO and any content marketing campaigns. Keyword research is the first and most important step in building a successful blog.

​I think you will agree with me when I say Keyword is the fundamental of SEO. Keyword research is the most important step for getting targeted traffic to your content or PPC campaign.

​You need to do keyword research for SEO.

​Here's the deal:

​If you are not doing keyword research, you are not only missing tons of organic traffic but also leads and conversions.

​Choosing the right keyword is not as easy it sounds, it needs a lot of data and time to check whether a keyword will work for you or not.

​That's crazy!

​Want to know the best part?

​We don't need to because there are many top keywords research tools available that make keyword reach quite easy for us.

​Without further ado, let begin with the best tools to perform keyword research and get loads of search traffic.

​I will be listing both the paid as well as free keyword research tools.

​Here we go:

​SEMrush is more than just a keyword research tool. It is the only tool you need to dominate your competitors in search engine rankings.

​SEMrush is the secret weapon for most of the bloggers out there.

​Most of the bloggers including me use SEMrush to find highly targeted keywords that their competitors already ranks for in search results.

​Unlike most of the keyword research tools, you don't need to add seed keywords to start your research.

​Here is the kicker:

​You just need to add your competitors URL, and it will show all the keywords that are ranking for that particular site.You can check out my full

​If you want you can check out my full SEMrush review.

​Though it is a paid tool, it also has a free version which I will not recommend.

​I would rather recommend you to get familiar with SEMrush using free trial where you can use its full features free for 7days.

​Google Keyword Planner is one of the most popular keywords suggestion tool. Google Adwords Keywords Research tool is free keyword research tool from Google and is a part of Google AdWords.

​Anyone can use Google free keyword planner for finding related keywords with their search volume. Also, it gives the average trends of the keyword for the past 12 months.

​You can also enter your competitor landing page to extract high volume relevant keywords.

​Google Keyword Planner also allows a variety of filters such as language, location, negative keywords, etc.

​Long tail pro is desktop software for keyword research. It is one of two favorite tools (other is SEMrush).

​LongTailPro is one the most famous as well as a powerful tool for finding relevant keywords. It is a premium tool but Long Tail Pro offers a $1 trial for 30 days.

​After downloading it from here, it needs to access your Google keyword planner account so that it can analyze and find the targeted keywords.

​You will generate branded keyword report.

​It is a great competition to my other favorite tool, i.e., SEMrush

​Keywordtool.io uses Google auto-complete feature, and that is why it is highly useful for generating long tail keywords for your seed keyword.

​Keyword Tool will give you results from Google, Amazon, Bing, Youtube and app store for free. Also in many different languages. You can also get country specific results.

​It is a free tool, but you need to pay to access search volume, CPC, and competition for a keyword.

​UberSuggest like KeywordTool.io uses Google auto-complete feature. It is a great tool for generating long tail variations of keywords.

​A great tool for generating fresh content ideas. What it does is append letters to the end of your query to generate lots of keywords.

​Ubersuggest is a great tool but it lacks features required for complete keyword research like monthly search volume and keyword competition.

​KWFinder is a tool to find long tail keywords with low SEO competition, so it is easier to rank for these keywords. This tool also allows city level location keyword research.

KWFinder is one of the fastest as well as easiest way to find long tail keywords. It also has SEO keyword difficulty checker, which is quite useful while doing keyword research.

​WordTracker is a premium tool. It is a perfect tool for finding trending keywords in any niche. Apart from finding long tails keywords, it also shows keyword competitiveness.

​WordTracker is very useful for building comprehensive keyword strategy so you can found low common keywords with high search volume quickly. It is very easy to use.

​I have listed all the tool both paid as well as free that I have used myself for keyword research.

​But!

​Try not to choose more than two paid keyword tools. Choose one and get used to it.

​I personally use SEMrush along with other KeywordTool.io and UberSuggest for finding the best keywords.

I suggest you to get familiar with SEMrush by signing up for free 7 days trial, before going for its premium services.

​Here is the bottom line:

​SEMrush and LongTailPro are the holy grail of top keywords for SEO.

​That's all!
