Keyword research is the essential part of blogging and SEO. Without it, we can't lead further in blogging.
The search volume assist in evaluating the value of any keyword. No one wants to work on a keyword having negligible or almost no searches.
We were using the Keyword planner since a long time to solve this purpose, but Google recently stopped showing the exact search volume for the keywords.
However, we can use the paid tools to know the search count, but every blogger or marketer cannot buy those premium keyword tools and free tools are with limited feature. They also stop showing the keyword search volume after few attempts, and then you need to buy the premium subscription of the tool.
I always loved knowing the search volume from Google itself because it has always been my targeted search engine.
But now in the present time, people who are running paid campaigns are only able to get the exact search count for the keywords, rest of the users will see only search ranges in the keyword planner, like below screenshot.
I was sick of looking at ranges each time I search on the keyword planner. And I am damn lazy to find any trick to solve this issue.
Today I found a free keyword tool that solves this issue. It has a simple dashboard to generate keywords and getting search volume.
It's an optimum solution of search volume issue in keyword planner. Let's know more about this amazing alternative to keyword planner.
Keyword planner Alternative: Keyword Hub
KeywordHub very simple and easy to use keyword research tool. I found it today only and tested the data. Currently it is working only with the Google. In near future, you can also get to work on Bing.
It has two options:
>> Keyword Generation
>> Keyword Data
- Keyword generation:
Keyword generation is used to produce more keyword using the seed key-terms.
You may find issue with this feature. However, the tool developers are trying to remove the bugs soon as they encounter them.
Here our actual concern is getting the exact keyword search volume, so we will move on to Keyword data option.
- Keyword Data:
It is what I was searching from a long time. I have tested the data the tool is showing under the results.
I have compared the data with the Google keyword planner and fortunately, it was same as I wanted to be.
- Testing that I have Done
I just picked 5 keywords and asked a friend to search their volume in keyword planner. As he can see the exact volume for the keywords in planner, so I took his help.
The data was as follow:
I have inserted the same keywords in the Keyword Hub and did few seconds wait for the results.
You just need to put the keywords, select language and location and hit the search button.
Then I found the following results-
Once compare both the results from keyword planner and keyword hub, we find both are same.
So now you have one free tool to know the exact keyword searches.
Don't get annoyed if the tool behaves funny. It will get better over the time.
