Time is very precious, isn't it? So without wasting our precious time, let's begin.
Well, keyword research is very important in blogging as choosing the right keyword to target is very crucial.
It can bring you lots of organic traffic, also it can reduce your blog's traffic. So you need to use reliable and accurate keyword research tools which can show you the right search volume, competition and CPC.
Note that no keyword research tool shows you exact numbers of the data, rather every keyword research tool shows the approximate numbers.
There are many premium keyword research tools available such as Ahrefs and SEMRush. Also, there are free keyword research tools which are also very good, such as Keywords Everywhere and Ubersuggest.
It is a browser plugin available for Chrome and Firefox. It shows the search volume, CPC and competition of any keyword when searched on Google, below the Google search bar. It looks like that on the image.
It is a very nice alternative of paid keyword research tools. Also, it has an advantage that you don't have to go to any website or download any software. All you have to do is to install the plugin on your browser. Then search a keyword on Google and you will get the data related to the keyword below the Google search bar.
Next free tool for keyword research is Ubersuggest.
