According to A.J. Ghergich (Ghergich & Co.),

“I do not see any massive changes on the horizon for keyword research in 2015. However, I do think people will become more aware of the power of suggestion-based tools like http://keywordtool.io/.

Entering phrases like Who, What, When, Where, Why & How + Your Keyword can bring back some awesome long tail searches. This is great for finding and filling content gaps on your site.”

Evan Prokop (TopRank Online Marketing) says that,

Rather than living in a vacuum (i.e. the SEO department), SEO and keyword research needs to sync with the overall brand messaging strategy, which means a shift towards:

– Customer persona pain point centered messaging, instead of only focusing on a small set of product / service based target keywords.

– Bigger focus on optimizing for semantically related keywords / concepts outside the core set.

– Optimizing across the entire sales cycle, rather than focusing only on attraction / awareness themed keywords and content.”.

When I searched “seo tools” for the vertical “App Store” the tool reported 0 unique keywords. This is somewhat the downside of the tool. With the increasing dominance of apps, we would also like to see more keywords related to mobile search. I hope that Keywortool.io authors will provide this feature in next versions.

In addition to these excellent features, KeywordTool.io also provides API access.

What are the KeywordTool.io Plans?

The free subscription plan only provides limited keywords only. But if you want additional information like search volume, cpc and competition you need to purchase plans. Again, the API access is not free.

If you want use the web service only and if you are blogger like me, you can just use the pro plans. These include Pro lite, Pro basic and Pro plus. These plans also provide 2x more keywords than in free plan. Each plan has distinctive features.

  1. I think Keyword Researcher Pro is the best suggestion tool, keywordtool.io is also good but you should have a look on that one too.

  2. In case anyone is looking for something like this but for free, RankBrain.me offers the same information like CPC and search volume.
