What Keyword Chef is
Keyword Chef is a web-based keyword research tool aimed mainly at bloggers and people publishing blog-type content. It uses real-time SERP analysis to find and filter keywords, removing terms it considers broad or too competitive so clearer search intent can surface. Its SERP Score counts easy-to-outrank sites on the first results page, with a higher score described as better. Users can check up to 5000 SERPs at once; Get All SERPs requires purchased credits. Wildcard searches use an asterisk for Google Autocomplete suggestions and are available to free-trial members. SERP-based clustering groups keywords with at least three matching links, for reports under 10,000 keywords. Niche Insights includes ten years of trends, intent keywords, topics, product suggestions, brands, and top-ranking sites. Results save in My Reports after cancellation. Monthly credits expire each billing cycle; lifetime credits do not.
