What Tools to Search for and Find Your Keywords?
1. Google.com
Let’s start with the tool that we all use in everyday life and that turns out to be one of the largest gold mines in the world in terms of keyword research: Google!
You can find keywords in 3 ways on Google:
- Google Autosuggest: This occurs when you start typing in the search box of Google, it automatically suggests phrases or keywords that may be related to what you want to search.
- People also ask: This is found when you scroll down after making the search
- Related Searches: This is at the bottom of Google SERP.
