If you\u2019re serious about building a strong online presence, you need a good keyword research tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it can get tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have a lot of options at your disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Google\u2019s Keyword Planner to Ahrefs<\/a> or SEMRush<\/a>, the market is flooded with options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The problem is that a lot of these SEO tools don\u2019t fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Premium tool providers don\u2019t understand what marketers really need. They\u2019ll create a ton of metrics and unhelpful features that seem great, but don\u2019t really help all that much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And then people fall for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Especially when they\u2019re just starting out and don\u2019t have a good grasp on what they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KWFinder is a popular tool developed by Mangools<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it\u2019s a good tool.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n First, because it\u2019s focused on simplicity. The user interface is seamless, features are intuitive and you\u2019re not overcrowded with dashboards you\u2019ll never use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it\u2019s not just about innovative design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KWFinder is actually good for keyword research. It can spew tons of keyword ideas, with monthly search numbers and a surprisingly accurate keyword difficulty score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s also got advanced features for keyword research, like filtering results and analyzing the SERP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it\u2019s not a perfect tool for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So let\u2019s take a closer look and see if KWFinder is worth your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You type a seed keyword, find actual search terms your target audience is using and analyze these results to see which is the easiest to rank, and has the most potential traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s traditional keyword research simplified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And KWFinder is good at it. Most of the time<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get started, you\u2019ll need to plug a seed keyword and generate a list of related keyword suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n You\u2019ve got everything in front of you, from volume to keyword difficulty score, and even a SERP analyzer.<\/p>\n\n\n At a glance, it\u2019s a good tool for traditional, long tail keyword research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are some limitations, like a cap on the results displayed:<\/p>\n\n\n And we\u2019ll talk about them in a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But overall, you\u2019ll be able to do traditional keyword research on a whim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Competitor keyword research is when you let someone else test the water before you jump in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basically, it\u2019s looking at what your competitors rank for. That way, you can target keywords that they\u2019re seeing success with. Everything else being equal, you can produce better content and overtake them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Competitor research can also work the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you see a strong foothold on a topic, you can decide to target other keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Does KWFinder help here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes and no. You can browse keywords by domain, which is a great place to start:<\/p>\n\n\n And you\u2019ll get the keywords they\u2019re ranking for.<\/p>\n\n\n But it\u2019s not the most complex system. You don\u2019t get the deep analysis you\u2019d get with Ahrefs<\/a> for example, which even calculates keyword intersect and can pull up every possible keyword your competitors are ranking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that\u2019s another problem. You don\u2019t get the full picture because your results are capped in KWFinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I did say it\u2019s not a perfect tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That was KWFinder at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the full picture, read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this KWFinder review, we looked at everything, from features and interface to customer support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s our honest take on the tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KWFinder uses a flat, user-friendly design. We value good design in any tool, but it\u2019s especially refreshing to see this in a data-driven environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can easily review every piece of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it\u2019s more than just a good color palette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The dashboard is understandable. Tools like Ahrefs or Long Tail Pro will throw a bunch of data your way:<\/p>\n\n\n But with KWFinder, you only get the bare necessities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s extremely important especially since this is a tool targeted to beginner bloggers. All of these design choices are not just aesthetic: they make for a decent learning curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re just getting started, you\u2019ll love KWFinder<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They don\u2019t miss the trends either. You can toggle a dark mode too.<\/p>\n\n\n It\u2019s not revolutionary by any means, but some people find value in \u201cembracing their dark side<\/a>\u201d, so this shows Mangools is focused on great user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How you do keyword research doesn\u2019t matter all that much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bottom line is this: You want to beat your competition and land a coveted 1st-page position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So calculating a single keyword difficulty score is an important feature for all keyword tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This metric shows you how hard it\u2019ll be to rank for a particular phrase. With KWFinder it\u2019s not just an indicative number, it\u2019s also packaged to put things in perspective:<\/p>\n\n\n The color-coding makes it easy to spot low-hanging fruit while skimming through a list, so you\u2019ll find gems much quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But there\u2019s a caveat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This metric is particular to KWFinder. If you plug the same keyword into other keywords tools, you might get different SEO difficulty scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s look at a comparison:<\/p>\n\n\n\nAbout KWFinder<\/h2>\n\n\n
