How this keyword suggestion tool works
You give Google a starting point and it answers with the keywords it associates with that topic. Three steps:
- Enter your seed keywords. One keyword is enough, and you can enter up to 20 separated by commas. Broad seeds return broader ideas; specific seeds return tighter ones.
- Pick a location, language and search network. The default is worldwide in English. Results change a lot between countries, so set these before you search.
- Tick the captcha and read the table. Sort by volume, filter by a word, set a minimum volume, then copy the list or export it to CSV.
Find related keywords for any topic
Related keywords are the terms people use around the same subject: variations, questions, brand-free wording and the phrases that sit either side of a buying decision. Starting from running shoes, Google will return things like best running shoes for flat feet or trail running shoes, each with its own demand and competition.
Two habits make the list far more useful. First, run several related seeds together rather than one: three or four seeds usually surface ideas a single seed misses. Second, judge every idea on volume and competition, not volume alone, a keyword with 300 searches and low competition is often worth more than one with 5,000 and high competition.
Long tail keyword generator
Long tail keywords are the longer, more specific phrases, usually three words or more, that carry clearer intent and less competition. They are where a new site realistically wins its first traffic.
To pull long tail ideas out of the results, use the filter box above the table. Type a qualifier such as best, for, near, free, vs or how and the table narrows to phrases containing it. Set a minimum volume of 50 or 100 at the same time and you are left with a workable shortlist instead of a wall of rows.
How to choose which keyword ideas to keep
Every row gives you four numbers. Here is what each one is actually telling you:
- Avg. monthly searches: demand, averaged over the last 12 months. Google rounds these figures, so treat them as a size band rather than an exact count.
- Competition: how many advertisers bid on the keyword. It is an advertising signal, not an SEO difficulty score, but high competition usually means the term is commercially valuable.
- Avg. CPC: what advertisers pay per click. A high CPC on a modest-volume keyword is a strong hint that the traffic converts.
- Top-of-page bid range: the low and high end advertisers pay for the top spots, which is a second read on commercial value.
A practical shortlist: keep the ideas where you can genuinely write the better page, drop the ones that repeat a page you already have, and group the rest by topic so one page can target several related terms instead of one page per keyword.
SEO phrases and keywords are the same thing
People search for SEO phrases, key phrases and keywords and mean the same thing: the words someone types into Google. A “keyword” is rarely one word: most searches are three or four words long. Do not try to force single words onto a page; target the phrase people actually type.
Where the data comes from
Every number here comes from Google Ads through the official API, the same source behind Keyword Planner. Two honest limits are worth knowing. Google rounds search volumes, so two keywords showing 1,000 searches may not be equal in reality. And keyword ideas reflect what Google associates with your seed, so a very new or very narrow seed can return a short list, or none at all.

Frequently asked questions
Up to 20 in one search, separated by commas. That is Google’s own limit for a single request, not ours.
Yes. There is no sign-up, no credit card and no daily limit. You only tick the captcha before each search, which is what keeps bots out and the tool free for everyone else.
Run your seed keyword, then use the filter box above the results and type a qualifier such as best, how, for or free. Set a minimum volume at the same time to hide the near-zero rows.
Google only reports keywords it has enough data for. Very new terms, very narrow niches and misspellings often come back with nothing.
Yes. The CSV button downloads the filtered table for Excel or Google Sheets, and the Copy button copies just the keyword list.
No. These are keyword ideas Google associates with your seed keyword. Ranking data is a different thing and this tool does not report it.
