Hi all,

I've been on here for a couple of weeks now and one thing I've noticed, unsurprisingly, is that everyone is trying to plug their products, so when you see a thread with "new great SEO tool" its unfortunately more than likely the owner of that tool trying to make sales.

I was thinking it'd be cool to have a thread where people talk about the tools that they ACTUALLY use, and which are free.

To start the serps.com free tools are quite good:

https://serps.com/tools/keyword-research/

and

https://serps.com/tools/rank-checker/

I've also discovered the keyword explorer from moz.com that gives you 2 searches a day but if you want more is gets very pricey

SemRush is another good tool

SeoCentro is another good social media checker

G00gle is your best pal.

Semrush is cool as well as the free trial options for keysearch, keywordrevealer etc.

If you guys want a COMPLETELY free tool for keyword research with exact Google search volume, try keywordplanner.pro

And to clarify, I created this tool for everyone to use it FREE without a non-sense limit 2 searches per day. Unless you abuse the tool with a very high number of requests, there is no reason for me to stop you to use it 50 or even 100 times a day

For a basic keyword research, I simply type my search string on Google. Then, I scroll to the very bottom of the Search Engine Result Page (SERP) all the way near the pagination part. See the image below.

You can use Google trends for keyword search in Google. It shows the result in graph format. That we can find the thrust of the keyword.

You get two free searches a day with https://moz.com/explorer

I have the pro version which I tend to use in parallel to a lot of other paid tools and keyword planner.

I always recommend Google KW planner or Semrush, both have a free trial and good tools for early stages in SEO. while Semrush for more competitive analysis.
