Best Free SEO Optimization Tools For Digital Marketing

Search Engine Optimization is the playground where you need to use lots of tools and creativity to get on top. And if you got some free SEO optimization tools in your toolset, then wouldn't that be easy to score higher in Google.

And what if I told you that there are tools that are loved by Google secretly but don't declare it in open. Yep, you heard me. Keep reading and you will see.

Today we will be seeing all kinds of tools either free or freemium. Freemium is where some of the features are hidden behind a paid membership.

Free Keyword Research Tools

The first step for any SEO strategy is to find the best suitable keywords. Finding high volume low competitive keywords can help you get in top search results easily.

1. Google Keywords Planner – Free (Loved By Google)

This is the basic tool we recommend for every SEO beginner to use before they jump to more advanced tools. It has got all the basic information you need to get started on your keyword research.

For more advanced SEO specialists, they know that these tools used to be well known in the early 2000s. But now it has lost its value in the eyes of SEO experts because of its inaccurate estimation of search volume on keywords.

But it is still a free tool that can teach you a lot of things for free. This is the first tool we use whenever we are doing our keyword research tool. It is one of the underestimated tools by SEO experts.

When you open it and see the two options Discover New Keywords and Get Search Volume and Forecasts. Select the First option of Discover New Keywords and you will see two tabs.

Start With Keywords and Start With A Website are the two tabs to select from. If you have just started to do research, the first Start With Keywords option is a natural choice.

Now, if you have already done some homework on your keywords and made some competing websites list, then the second option Start With A Website might intrigue you.

Play around with this tool and you might find some hidden keywords. And this tool is loved by Google, of course for obvious reasons. Since it's Google's home production, they do not have any other choice but to love it.

2. WordStream – Free

To put it in the simplest form, this tool is the same as Google Keywords Planner but with a better UI.

It pulls its data directly from Google and Bing. But it tries to be different by suggesting some low-competition keywords of your niche. Pretty interesting, eh!

This tool is popular among PPC experts. They say that its estimated CPC is much accurate than what you get in Google Keywords Planner.

WordStream gives you 30 free searches when you signup. Above that, it turns into a paid tool.

3. Keyword Surfer – Free (Recommended)

This is a handy tool that comes in the form of a Chrome extension. It is well maintained and has some new features added to it recently like Free content editor.

We recommend it and use it ourselves every day when we are doing our keyword research. Also comes in handy when writing a blog post to find related keywords.

All its data is directly taken from Google Keywords Planner. But since it's a browser extension, it is easy to use directly from the Google search page rather than going to Google Keywords Planner every time.

Also, I like its new feature of country selection where you can select your target country. A handy tool for keyword ideas to both SEO specialists and content writers.

4. Keyworddit – Free

Advanced SEO specialists know the importance of social signals. This tool gives you the keywords most discussed in Reddit subs.

This is a tool that requires a little homework before you can use it. You need to find related subreddits for your niche. Once you know them, you can then input their name in here and get the most discussed keywords in these subreddits.

If you have read our beginners SEO guide, then you would know that we recommend using Reddit to gain more SEO knowledge. If you have followed our suggestions, then you must have already realized the importance of this tool.

Keyworddit doesn't give you keyword search volumes from search engines. But it gives you what no other search tool counts. It gives you the social buzz around the keywords.

When combined with other tools, this tool can be very powerful as you get to learn about the social signals of a keyword.

5. Whatsmyserp Extension – Free (Recommended)

This Chrome extension is a handy tool to get related keywords inside Google search results. It is free and available on-demand.

WMS Everywhere browser extension is similar to Keyword Surfer discussed above. Its ‘People also search for' feature shows related keywords to your main keyword which is not found in other similar extensions.

This tool does not give you a huge list of keywords. But it gives you the best high search volume keywords.

We recommend it along with the Keyword Surfer tool to get the maximum number of related keywords to your main keyword from Google search.

6. Infinite Suggest – Free (Recommended)

If you do not want to add extra add-ons to your browser for related keywords, then Infinite Suggest is your friend.

Infinite Suggest lets you add your choice of language and country to it. This is very useful when you are not just targeting English-speaking countries.

Popular keywords show up to 1000 related keywords in this tool. This is a completely free tool with no limitations.

It derives its data from search results directly. And if you have a SEMRush account, you can directly go to the keyword analysis page from this tool.

7. Extractor de entidades – Free

Another chrome addon for you to get more keywords. But this is a little sneaky tool that gives you the most used keywords by the first 10 pages of search results for your keyword.

This is a Spanish tool that requires API when signing up. Use Google Translator to understand its instructions.

This tool will complete your keyword research by showing the number of times your main keyword and its related keyword are used by the top 10 pages on the search results page. Very helpful for writing SEO-optimized content.

8. SEO Keywords Spelling Checker – Free

This is a nice little tool called SEO keywords spelling checker to correct any spelling mistakes in your keywords. Build with Python and hosted on Heroku.

If you have a list of keywords and looking to correct the incorrect keywords, then this tool will help you do it in no time.

Not exactly a keyword research tool but I thought it is a handy SEO tool worth a mention. Not sure how long this tool will be online but if it goes down, do let us know in the comments below to remove it from this post.

9. People Also Search For By SearchResponse.io – Free (Recommended)

SearchResponse.io has released its 2nd free tool, called “People Also Search For” to obtain the keywords shown to users who bounce back to Google's results.

When you search on Google for any keyword, let's say “women protein powder” at the bottom of the page you see more related keywords.

These keywords were earlier titled as People Also Search For. I think Google has removed that title now.

People also search for is a very helpful set of keywords given by google itself in their search results for your search terms. Since these keywords are shown by Google itself, they carry a lot of value for SEO experts.

With this free tool by SearchResponse.io, this task not just gets automated but also shows you the monthly search volume and trends related to each of the keyword variants.

A lot of the information given by this free keywords tool is very valuable. Many other websites like Semrush, charge a good amount to show the results that are given for free in this tool.

We recommend this tool to everyone who is serious about keyword research.

10. Keyword Clustering App – Free

It takes your Semrush, Ahrefs or Google Search Console reports and processes them in topic clusters.
