Let’s first see, What is Google Keyword Planner?

So basically, Google Keyword Planner is a Keyword Research Tool used to find/discover keywords for different websites which helps you in finding the relevant keywords for the SEO.

When you search your “head-keywords” in Google Keyword Planner, It also suggests the other keywords relevant to your website along with its monthly average searches and usage of that keyword by the searcher.

Keyword Planner also provides a way to create a Search Champaign for your website in-depth.

Let us know some benefits of using a Keyword Planner.

  • Create a new Champaign: Use your “head-keywords” to create a Champaign and perform in-depth research on your keywords.
  • See Average Monthly searches: We can also see the average monthly searches of the keywords done by the researchers. According to which, priority to some specific keywords can be given.
  • Discover other organic keywords used by Searcher: Keyword Planner also suggests/helps you discovering other keywords that are more useful and highly searched by the users in Search Engines, which also helps you get more organic traffic to your website than expected.
  • Cost of keywords: Keyword also shows the average cost of keyword paid by Customers for a particular keyword.
  • Know competition of keywords: Keyword also makes you determine the competition on each keyword you want to use. The keywords in which the competition is low are easy to rank on the first page, the one with average competition can be ranked on the first page will little more hard work and the ones with the high competition are toughest to be rank But can be ranked on the first page to lots and lots of hard work.
