With these tools, \u2699\ufe0f you can quickly get a lot of long tail keyword suggestions you might not be able to come up with yourself. For each keyword, you often get search volume data, which makes selecting the best options easier. Depending on the tool, you may get additional valuable data that will help you decide which long tail keywords to target for your future blog posts or articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. LowFruits<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n
\n![\"LowFruits](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LowFruits.png\")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nLowFruits is a keyword research tool that performs an in-depth analysis of the SERPs, and then generates the weak long tail keywords that you should target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the type of solution you should turn to if you’re having a hard time trusting the Keyword Difficulty (KD) metrics from other SEO tools. Whereas most of them may not flag low KD opportunities that are dominated by high-authority competitors, LowFruits pays attention to all those finer details. As such, you get to discover the low KD keywords with the weakest competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"LowFruits](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image4.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe long tail keyword ideas are drawn directly from Google’s Autocomplete API, the SERP sections for Related searches and People also ask, plus several other Google sources. LowFruits even formats your seed keywords with over 150 modifiers to establish various high-intent phrases that you could pursue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Examples of the keyword modifiers include; “how to”, “what”, “when”, “best”, “top”, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You could even add a wildcard to your seed keyword to direct the system to generate long tail keywords that follow a specific structure. For instance, a seed phrase like “best car for * ” would only generate long tail keywords along the lines of “best car for men”, “the best car for racing”, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LowFruits Pricing \ud83d\udcb0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
One of the other great things about LowFruits is its highly flexible pricing structure. You can get started for free, purchase a pay-as-you-go plan for as little as $15, or maybe try out a subscription that starts at $36 a month. The choice is all yours.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nRecently acquired by NeilPatel<\/em>, Answer the Public is a free tool that enables you to look up search engine suggestions for any keywords you enter. For each keyword you look for, it’ll show you what questions people are asking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 For example, if you use the tool to look up ‘women’s running shoes’, you’ll get a graph showing seven questions related to the query:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Answer](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/47677132-535b-402a-96fa-4405889d1dd0.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIf you scroll down further, Answer the Public also shows you a graphic with many more long tail keyword variants:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Finding](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6f06af96-3689-4bc9-be57-78807d7e2b46.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nScroll down further<\/em> and you get a graph showing searches based on comparisons, and a list of all the long tail keywords the tool found, in alphabetical order:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"AnswerThePublic](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/AnswerThePublic-long-tail-keyword-generator.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIn our experience, Answer the Public doesn’t disappoint in terms of raw numbers when it comes to long tail keyword suggestions. However, it doesn’t give you any data about search volume, which you need to make informed decisions. Volume search data isn’t available for pro plans either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In our opinion, sticking with the free version and combining your research with another long tail keyword generator from this list is the best approach. In other words, use Answer the Public as a supplementary long tail research tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Answer the Public Pricing \ud83d\udcb0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Aside from the free plan, Answer the Public also offers three paid plans, which you can either pay for as an ongoing subscription, or purchase as a lifetime license. The cheapest plan will set you back $9 per month or a one time fee of $99 if you want the lifetime access option. This will give you up to 100 searches per day. Two higher level plans are also available and all plans come with a seven day free trial.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Google-Keyword-Planner.png\")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nGoogle Keyword Planner is one of our favorite tools for finding long tail keywords. If you jump through a hoop or two, you can use it for free, even without launching a Google Ads campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you gain access to Keyword Planner, you can use its Discover new keywords<\/em> feature. From here, you can enter a starting keyword to get more suggestions, which you can filter by region and language:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Discovering](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/discover-new-keywords.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nUnlike SEMRush, Keyword Planner doesn’t limit itself to long tail keyword suggestions that include your original search query. Instead, it hits you with every related search term it can find, including search volume and an estimate of the competition level:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/keyword-planner-results.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWhen it comes to raw data, Google’s king, so Keyword Planner should most certainly have a place in your toolkit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google Keyword Planner Pricing \ud83d\udcb0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
This is a 100% free long tail keyword finder. You do need to register for a Google Ads (formerly known as Google AdWords) account to use it though. However, as mentioned earlier, this doesn’t mean you need to actually launch an ad campaign. You simply need to open an Ads account with Google (which doesn’t cost anything) to be able to use the tool.<\/p>\n\n\n
Go to Google Keyword Planner<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n4. Keywords Everywhere<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n
\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Keywords-Everywhere.png\")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nKeywords Everywhere is very different from the the tools we’ve showcased so far. For starters, it’s a browser extension that’s available for Chrome and Safari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The extension comes in free and premium versions. Keywords Everywhere’s free version shows you related keyword and search data every time you run a Google search. With the premium version, you get access to search volume and competition data pulled from Keyword Planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to use the free version of this extension, you need to enter your email to get an API key<\/a> that enables it:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Validating](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/validate-api.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nOnce you validate your key, you can go ahead and run a Google search. Two widgets should appear to the right of the search results, including related keywords and searches:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Keyword](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/related-keywords-searches.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAs we mentioned before, the free version of Keywords Everywhere doesn’t give you access to search volume data. However, it can come in handy if you want to look up long tail keywords without having to use complex tools such as SEMRush or Keyword Planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keywords Everywhere Pricing \ud83d\udcb0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The premium version is 100% pay-as-you-go, so you aren’t locked into any plan. You can purchase 100,000 credits for just $1.25. One “credit” lets you look up the data for one long tail keyword.<\/p>\n\n\n
Go to Keywords Everywhere<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n5. Google Trends<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n
\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Google-Trends.png\")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nGoogle Trends is not precisely what you’d call a long tail keyword generator. However, if you know how to use the tool, you’ll realize it’s a powerful way to find keyword suggestions based on what people are looking for with Google. Once you have the data, all you have to do is focus on the long tail searches, and you’re golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 For example, here’s what comes up if you look for ‘women’s running shoes’ using Google Trends<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Search](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/search-interest.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nUnlike a regular long tail keyword generator, Google Trends can show you data about interest over time. This means you can predict when to launch your new long tail keyword strategy, based on interest surrounding your original search term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you scroll down further, Google Trends also shows you related topics and searches for your query:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Using](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/related-queries-trends.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWe recommend you focus on related queries, as they show what else your target audience is looking for. More importantly, Google shows you data on which queries are getting more attention than usual, hence the percentages to the right in the previous example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the best possible results, we recommend you focus on long tail keywords with rising search intent. Then you might want to correlate this data with Keyword Planner or SEMRush and get search volume, so you know which long tail keywords have the most potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alternatively, you could use LowFruits to see not only the search volume, but to also check if any of the positions on page one are “weak”. LowFruits allows you to define the threshold of “weak”, but the default setting is any website with a domain authority under 20. If your own website has a relatively high domain authority, then you can set the threshold a bit higher to account for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSEMRush is an SEO, marketing, and analytics research suite. When it comes to SEO, it enables you to look up what keywords your competitors are using, deduce their rankings, and find new search terms, among many other features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also use SEMRush as to help you identify search queries worth targeting. However, to get access to this functionality (and everything else), you need to sign up for an account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you register for an account (basic registration is free), you’ll get access to the SEMRush dashboard. Jump to the Keyword Analytics > Keyword Magic Tool<\/em> page and start a search for your chosen keyword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 For example, if you enter “women’s running shoes”:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Using](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/semrush-search.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThen SEMRush will do its thing and return a list of long tail keywords related to your initial query:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Long](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/semrush-keyword-results.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nFor each keyword, you’ll see a search volume average. If all the suggestions you get are too low, as in the example above, you’ll want to focus on other search terms. If you are interested SEMRush’s other SEO features, read our in depth SEMrush review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SEMRush Pricing \ud83d\udcb0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
As you can imagine, SEO analysis tools tend to be very expensive, and SEMRush is no exception. There’s a limited free plan, with premium tiers starting at $117.33 per month. A free plan will give you up to ten reports per day, with limited results. The free plan is still more than good enough to discover some long tail keyword suggestions, though.<\/p>\n\n\n
