What's the best Keyword Tool in everyone's opinion?
-
I'm trying to find the most accurate tool to identify monthly search volumes. All the tools offer wildly varying results. Help
-
No doubt there are a lot of Keyword Research tool in the market. Also, we don't know which one is best. So in my opinion select MOZ and Ahrefs these tools are best for me. I get ideas of keyword difficulty with MOZ and for search volume I prefer Ahrefs. As I work on my site for keyword research like best Korean shampoo for hair loss Moz shows me its difficulty is 16 but on the other hand Ahref shows me its difficulty is 2 and volume is 150. So I get an idea of keyword difficulty is from MOZ and get the idea of monthly volume from Ahref.

According to my experience in SEO, I'm providing the SEO service also since 4 years, then I realize that no tools can provide the accurate volume, So don't depend on tools make your own searches the surly you will find some diamond keyword evergreen keywords, By the way you can check the difficulties by MOZ KEYWORD DIFFICULTIES it provide you almost accurate result than other tool. Then you should have to do work like I have started work on my website https://tinyurl.com/yf8mthp7 after doing 2 months of research.

Hi there,
I don't think that there is a single tool which can claim to have the most accurate monthly search volumes, they all tend to use different sources and none of them will be able to replicate exactly what happens on Google.
Therefore, I think it's important to choose one that you're most comfortable with and use that consistently, then when you use it, don't focus too much on the actual volume of searches and instead focus on the volume of each keyword relative to another. For example, if one keyword has 500 monthly searches, it's unlikely to mean that you will get 500 visits a month if you rank number 1. But if you compare to a keyword where the same tool says that a keyword has 1,000 searches a month, then chances are that this gets more than the first one by a decent amount and could be worth prioritising.
I tend to use a combination of Moz and Ahrefs for this, along with the Google Keyword Planner.
Hope that helps!

I think ahrefs is the best tool available in the market. I have found many useful keywords for best coffee machine 2021 and checked it's difficulty with Moz algorithm (Difficulty should be less than 20) and getting the best results. I hope this will work for you as well.

Inconsistent Keyword Search Volume & Difficulty Across Tools (e.g., Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, Semrush)
Hi there, Moz Community! I'm reaching out for some guidance on keyword research discrepancies. I'm currently targeting the keyword "sui gas bill" for my blog, sngplbill, which focuses on information related to Sui gas bills. I've used several keyword research tools, including Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and Semrush, and each platform provides different search volume and keyword difficulty scores: Moz: No search volume data, Keyword Difficulty (KD) 24
Keyword Research | | Faizali.786
Google Keyword Planner: Search volume 100k-1M, Difficulty (Low)
Semrush: Search volume 90k, KD 31
Ahrefs: KD 1 (Very Easy)
These varying results are causing some confusion. Ideally, I'd like to understand which platform offers the most reliable data for search volume and keyword difficulty. Here are some additional details that might be helpful: My target location: Pakistan My Questions: What factors might contribute to these discrepancies in keyword data across different tools?
Considering my niche (Sui gas bill information in Pakistan), which platform would you recommend for the most accurate search volume and keyword difficulty estimates?
Are there any additional factors to consider beyond search volume and keyword difficulty when selecting keywords for content strategy?
Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

What makes a keyword good?
Having taken a day-long course not long ago, I'm new to SEO and I'm struggling to decide which keywords to target. I work in a really niche area: we make booking engines that allow travel agencies to sell flights, hotels, cars and other travel services online. I know there are various tools on the web (and on Moz) which give you the average monthly searches and competition for each term but I still don't understand how to decide which ones to target. For example, the term 'travel systems' gets a high amount of search and the competition for it is high. However, Google brings back results about prams and buggies so I think I should avoid this one. Another is 'travel solutions' which gets a high amount of search and is low on competition. Google brings back results about travel agencies. This is more our area but our target audience is travel agencies so I'm not really sure I'd be attracting the right traffic? I'd be really grateful for any advice that you can give me.

Optimizing a Webpage without keywords
Hi all, I’m really running into a challenge internally lately in that we have a lot of teams redesigning or building new pages (specificially one team) that do NOT loop our teams in. When we finally get them to work with us, to drive traffic to the pages, they disagree that there must be other ways of optimizing the pages than focusing on keywords with search volume that are relevant to the page. We usually land that they will choose a keyword or two they think a user will search for, we do keyword research and pick something close (because they don’t want to utilize a term that doesn’t make much sense, as they have written the content without involving us from the beginning, but then our search volume is declining). They keep saying there are other ways than changing the paired down content on their page and adding in keywords to the H1 headers, content on page. they mentioned semantic search at one point. For example, https://www.entrust.com/products/entrust-getaccess/ currently ranks around #10 for "single sign on solution." This keyword was on the previous page quite a few times in headers and body copy. Now it appears on the page 3 times after the redesign and is not in the h1. The team does for example want to optimize for this term, but there’s lots of pushback as they want a page with minimal content and little design. Just wondering your thoughts on this. IS this a common challenge you deal with too and any idea on answers as I've tried many with the teams? Thanks, Laura

How do I use two keywords?
Hello! I am ranking very well with a keyword. But that same keyword without an S at the end (making it singural) gets quite a few more searches per month according to Google's Keyword Tool. However, dropping the S just doesn't sound quite right or make as much sense. So how can I target both keywords? Thanks in advance!

Best practice for targeting 'unnatural' location based keyword phrases
When optimising for a local based service, lets say a painter in texas, you will have various keyword phrases which are relevant e.g Texas painter Painter in Texas Painter Texas I have found that often the phrase which has the most searches is: [Service] [Location] = ('Painter Texas' in this example) But unlike the other phrases this is very hard to work into a natural sounding sentence or heading. Is the best practice to try and target the unnatural sounding phrase anyway due to the higher search volume, or target the next one down to stay natural sounding in your copy? thanks d

Duplicated string in the google keyword tool
Is it possible that the google keyword tool is wrong? It's the first time I realize that for many keywords the google keyword tool reports a big volume of searchs for a keyword as if it were tiped two times. In some cases, as the attached image, it's the same volume, in other cases is even bigger the one with the duplicated string What should I think of that, that, "champagne champagne" has really 4 million searchs? if champagnechampagne.com were an available domain name, should it be a good idea for a microsite? Thank you! t9Jwn.png
