### "Quality Keyword Research Tool"

August 9, 2021

4.0

Since we create lots of product page, so I need to do lot of product keyword research which become easy after using keyword research tool. Tool helps in finding LSI keyword of product and relatable question around it also.

Pros

1\. Different Keyword research for various platform via single tool, I can do keyword research for Instagram, Bing ads, YouTube and more . 2. Easy selection of country make this tool more easy to use 3. Add Question keyword part helpful for blogger to add related question according to their topic as well as we can find out different question related to product query 4. Preposition keyword option is very helpful to add more LSI keyword and useful in adding in other keyword which revolves around primary keyword.

Cons

Data Accuracy can be improved in Keyword tool, since sometimes, the search volume data result very different from other keyword result data.

Reason for choosing Keyword Tool

I already worked of keyword Explorer of Ahref tool but keyword tool is uniquely designed for extensive and vast keyword research whether it related to any product or query.

### "Best and reliable toor for keyword research"

June 3, 2020

5.0

It makes it easy to perform keyword searches, in general it is a very good tool for analysis of marketing words

Pros

Lets you perform a keyword search very broad with all the similar keywords it displays. It allow to analyze keywords for Youtube, Bing, Amazon, eBay, Play Store, Instagram and Twitter; It is the only tool that allows you to do it with accurate data.

Cons

It is expensive to just perform a keyword search, Outside of that, I have not found any issue, it performs perfectly for what it is designed for.

### "Resolved After Some Frustration"

December 19, 2024

1.0

I initially had a frustrating experience with my seat adjustments and billing. Despite requesting a reduction from 33 seats to 19, I was still being charged for the higher number, and my account continued to reflect the incorrect seat count. Attempts to resolve this through customer support felt like they were going in circles, which led me to write a negative review. However, after posting my initial feedback, the company’s support team proactively reached out to me and made a consistent effort to resolve the issue. They not only corrected the overcharges but also provided a discount, ensuring that everything was adjusted fairly. While the initial experience was frustrating, I appreciate that they ultimately took my concerns seriously and worked hard to make things right. Because of their efforts, I am now satisfied with the outcome.

Pros

Good research tool for search volume across 12 different search engines, which is very convenient.

Cons

Being charged for seats I don't need. Customers can manually increase the number of seats needed, up to 55 total. But you can't manually adjust the number of seats down to what you are actually using. If you are not careful, you will THINK you are lowering the number of seats (it will look like you have) but they will charge you for whatever maximum number of seats you had, UNLESS you ask Support to lower it for you.

### "A comprehensive keyword tool, highly recommend"

October 6, 2020

5.0

Pros

This keyword tool is based on Google's and other search engines' auto complete features to provide relevant long tail keywords. I regularly find this tool to provide keywords that I can't find in e.g. ahrefs.com or Google Ads Keyword Planner. Additionally, keywordtool.io also scrapes keyword suggest ideas YouTube, Bing, Amazon, eBay, and App Store so it is a useful tool when optimizing for these platforms, too. You can also take a selection of keywords, copy paste them to the tool and get the search volumes for these keywords. The keywords can be easily downloaded as an Excel or CSV file, and you automatically get both average monthly search volumes, as well as monthly search volumes for the past 12 months. Keywordtool.io has a limited free version available. The free version of the tool only gives the keywords, not the search volumes, and the number of keywords is limited. Theoretically, you could of course take the list of the keywords and get the search volume estimates from another tool.

Cons

The paid version needs to be paid for the whole year. It is quite pricey, but for a heavy user, definitely worth it. However, if you try to software and feel that it isn't the tool for you, there is a chance to get a full refund during the first 30 days after your purchase. Should you feel that the tool isn't for you, remember to do the following: a) cancel your subscription AND b) write to keywordtool.io at https://keywordtool.io/contact to request for a full refund WITHIN the first 30 days of your purchase.

### "Excellent with Keyword Research, SEO, Trend Tracing etc...."

April 25, 2021

4.0

I Mainly use Keyword Tool for finding different or Unique Keyword which I don't get in any of other Similar SEO softwares. It has helped to find many keyword or Tags for my YouTube channel. So It will be good Option to choose when it comes for Keyword Research.

Pros

I have been using Keyword Tool for a quite Long Time, I Mainly use Keyword Research Tool for my YouTube Channel. I Regularly use the this Tool to get Extra or Different Keywords which I Don't get with other Similar Keyword Research Software such as Tubebuddy, VidIQ etc. It suggests a lot of proper and highly Searched Keywords for any Topic of your choice. The Basic version or Free Version only suggests Top Keywords, not the Searched Volume, but still the Top suggested keyword are enough for beginners. As per my Experience for new users the whole analysis system is easily understandable. I Especially like the option to choose the Platform for which you are researching the Keyword either YouTube, Instagram, Twitter etc.. So When it comes for Keyword Research or Search Engine Optimization "Keyword Tool" will be a good choice to Choose.

Cons

As I mentioned earlier, the search volume for any suggested keyword will be shown in pro version only, it would have been good if at least they could have given the search volume for 1 or 2 top suggested keywords. In free version Limited Searches can be done in a day, I think it is somewhere 10 to 15 searches, where as in some of other similar Softwares, they give you more than 25 searches a day. But if you buy a pro bundle for a year to remove all of these issues It is worth.

### "Beware: Impossible to Cancel!"

January 29, 2025

1.0

Extremely frustrating and unacceptable. Keyword Tool does not allow proper cancellations, and their billing system is flawed. Even after proving we haven't used the tool, they refuse to process a refund unless we provide "evidence" of their own system’s failure. This is a clear money-grab tactic, and it should be a warning to anyone considering signing up. ⚠ Attention: Once you subscribe, canceling is NOT straightforward! Proceed with caution, as you might end up being charged long after you thought you canceled.

Pros

The tool itself is functional, but nothing special compared to other keyword research tools on the market.

Cons

We canceled our subscription years ago, yet somehow their system "failed" to register it, and they continued to charge us. Instead of acknowledging their mistake, they demand proof that we canceled—despite the fact that we have not used the tool at all since then. Their cancellation system is unreliable, and they place the burden of proof on the customer, making refunds unnecessarily difficult.

### "Easy to use tool for online marketers"

February 11, 2023

3.0

Keyword Tool is an ideal platform for someone who wishes to run Google ads since it gives a broad range of keywords to advertise. But if you are an SEO professional looking for an advance keyword research tool then this is not the ideal platform.

Pros

\- Easy to use- Accurate data (uses keyword planner data)- Helps you do related keyword research

Cons

\- Does not offer keyword rank tracking feature- Not ideal for advanced keyword research

### "A Solid Choice for Every SEO Professional"

February 23, 2021

4.0

Keyword Tool has been my go-to tool for keyword analysis. It presents accurate data about the behaviour of keywords and their volumes across a period of 12 months. From an SEO perspective, this tool is a must-have for every SEO or digital marketing professional.

Pros

1\. The alternate suggested keywords to the primary keyword help give a broader idea about each search term. 2. Feature to search for keyword volumes in bulk for a large number of keywords. 3. The feature to set the origin of search and language is great in understanding any demographic from an SEO perspective.

Cons

1\. Only 10 bulk keyword searches can be done in 24 hours. 2. The pricing could be a bit more aggressive as it tends to be on the higher side compared to competitors.

### "If you need more details other than keyword ideas you have to buy Pro version."

December 30, 2019

5.0

You can just get list of keyword ideas without many details such as Search Volume, Trend, CPC, Competition on the free version. If you need more information you have to upgrade to a Pro account. I'm using the free version to get some keyword ideas and use another tool like Moz, to do the keyword research part. The usage of the tool is up to you, by the way, it is giving more valuable keyword ideas.

Pros

This Keyword tool is a research tool and an engine. It can dig up keyword phrases of the long tail. And why it can do that is, for building and creating online businesses successful in any range of niche with the use fo SEO. This is a unique tool. It has to recreate or generate ideas until the limit of 750. And it is from every term you punch into the searching bars. Also, it generates a zillion ideas with the use of Google, Youtube, eBay. You can even use the App store Autocomplete.

Cons

Though it generates keyword phrases it won't show Search Volume, Trend, CPC, Competition until you upgrade it to the pro version so it is providing very basic information in the free version. Most of the other keyword research tools are providing free trails at least for 30 days but in here Keywordtool.io does not provide a free trial.

### "Functional"

March 4, 2022

4.0

Pros

I'm an SEO Content Creator who heavily relies on keyword research and this software makes the process very easy for me. First of all, the interface is quite simple and user-friendly, which makes for easy navigation. Secondly, finding keywords is easy as you only have to enter your keyword and target country. After that, you will be able to get all related keywords and extras like questions. Of course, you are able to refine your search using other features offered by this tool. On top of that, you can specify the platform that your keywords are targeting for better results.

Cons

It's a bit pricy. Other than that, everything works perfectly.

### "La herramienta que te ayuda a encontrar las mejores palabras clave para tu negocio"

October 22, 2023

5.0

Pros

Me ha gustado mucho la facilidad de uso, la variedad y la relevancia de las palabras clave que genera Keyword Tool. Con solo introducir un término de búsqueda, Keyword Tool me ofrece cientos de sugerencias de palabras clave long-tail basadas en el autocompletado de Google y otros buscadores. Incluso permite elegir el dominio y el idioma de Google que prefiero, así como filtrar los resultados por volumen, competencia y tendencia.

Cons

Keyword Tool no es una herramienta gratuita, y sus planes tienen algunas limitaciones en cuanto al número de búsquedas, palabras clave y análisis que se pueden realizar al día o al mes. A veces me gustaría tener más opciones y funcionalidades para optimizar mi investigación de palabras clave.

### "The Only Keyword Research Tool I use"

September 24, 2020

5.0

Pros

The trends features is great with keywordtool.io. While most tools just shows 12 months trends data, Keywordtool.io comes with easy filter option through which I get the most trending keywords based on percentage value. It's a great option to find easy to rank trending keywords.

Cons

Right now, the tool only does keyword research alone. It would be good to get additonal features like Top 10 SERP results of the keyword and improvements with Competitor analysis feature.

### "Keyword tool review"

August 14, 2019

5.0

Keyword tool is particularly helpful for finding more versions of keywords to go after. I've also found it helpful when coming up with topic suggestions for my articles. The blurred metrics have not however been enough to convince me to subscribe.

Pros

The interface is simple and logical making it easy to use especially as a new user. As an occasional blogger, I also like the question suggestions based on the keywords I've searched for. These are particularly helpful in suggesting potential topics, and article headings. The ability to choose which platform your keywords are targeting make it more helpful and thus tailoring the search to suit your specific keyword needs. I also like how Keyword tool allows you to filter your search by images, videos or news.

Cons

The free version blurs out search volume, CPC and all other metrics. As an occasional user it pushes me off the site to other free tools that offer the same service.

### "Freemium tool to get some ideas"

October 5, 2019

4.0

The ability to discover potential profitable keywords with Keyword Tool is incredible.

Pros

I used Keyword tool alot when I was getting started with online businesses and sparingly these days. I like that with a little seed keyword into Keyword Tool's tool, I get a lot of other related keywords that I had no idea about, best part? Based on the stats they return? Could be profitable. One can't estimate the power of keyword research tools these days and even as old as this tool is, its still very useful.

Cons

The free version does not show keywords data, you'd have to pay to see extra stats which is some sort of a bummer, really and the Pro version isn't cheap at all compared to its alternatives or other free versions like Keywords everywhere and ubersuggest.

Other data like popularity of keyword, avg ppc cost , competition level queries also showed. Customer care is very active they reply very fast of my query mail. Able to make indepth research on Google ,Bing ,Amazon .

Keyword Tool is great at exactly what it says on the box. It's a keyword research tool and it's one of the best out there.

Pros

Keyword Tool is one of the best available keyword research tools we've found. This software allows us to quickly and easily find keywords relevant to our business. The layout and presentation is perfectly simple and smooth to navigate. We've found that we're relying on Keyword Tool more and more lately as we start our content planning process.

Cons

In some ways, it's very limited in what it offers compared to other options that are available today. For example, Ahrefs keyword research tool gives you more insights as to the difficulty of the search term.

January 14, 2023

Keywords tool is a powerful tool that uses Google Autocomplete to generate a list of long-tail, relevant keyword suggestions. By understanding what people are searching for, this easy-to-use tool helps you to identify the best keywords to target in your campaigns and optimize your website content accordingly expanding your business.
