Keyword research, explained

What is a keyword research tool?

A keyword research tool shows what people search for about a topic, how many searches each keyword gets a month, how hard it is to rank for, and what the searcher wants. You use it to choose which pages to write and which words to use in them, before you spend time writing.

FAQ

Keyword research questions

What is a keyword research tool?

A keyword research tool shows what people type into search engines about a topic, how often they search it (search volume), how hard it is to rank for (keyword difficulty) and what they want to find (search intent). You use it to decide which pages to write and which words to put in them.

How many keyword ideas do I get from one seed keyword?

Up to 1,000 ideas per seed keyword, drawn from search suggestions, related searches and the questions people ask. You can filter them by volume, difficulty and intent, or switch to questions only.

What is the difference between keyword difficulty and opportunity?

Keyword difficulty is the same number for everyone: how strong the pages already ranking are. Opportunity is personal: it compares your own Domain Score with the top 10 results, so the same keyword can be a good bet for one site and out of reach for another. Opportunity needs a project, so Ranklogs knows which site to compare.

Does it show which keywords trigger AI Overviews?

Yes. Each keyword shows whether Google displays an AI Overview for it and which sites the overview cites, so you can see where an AI answer sits above the results and whether you are one of its sources.

Can I find the keywords my competitors rank for and I don't?

Yes. Competitor gap compares a competitor's ranking keywords with yours and lists the gap keywords: terms they rank for and you don't, grouped into clusters you can turn into pages.

How fresh is the keyword data?

Keyword metrics such as volume and difficulty are refreshed at least every 30 days. Search results and AI Overview data are refreshed at least every 14 days. Volumes are monthly averages, so treat them as a guide to relative demand.

Can I research keywords for different countries?

Yes. Choose the country and language for every search, so you can size demand in each market separately. Smaller markets can return fewer ideas because fewer searches are recorded there.

How many keyword lookups do the plans include?

Starter includes 500 lookups a month, Pro 3,000 and Agency 12,000. A lookup is one research request, such as one seed keyword search or one keyword overview. Every plan includes every tool, with a 14-day free trial and no card required.

What happens after I pick keywords?

Add them to a project and Ranklogs tracks their rankings every day, or save them to a list. From any keyword you can open a content brief built from the pages that already rank.

Can I see keywords I already get impressions for but don't track?

Yes. If you connect Google Search Console, Ranklogs lists the queries your site already gets impressions for that you are not tracking yet, which are usually the quickest wins.
