KWFinder
What KWFinder is
KWFinder is a keyword research tool for finding search ideas, search volumes, difficulty estimates, and trends. It can also show keywords a competitor’s domain or URL ranks for. Historical search volumes help identify seasonal patterns, and location-specific research covers more than 65,000 locations. Search intent data, SERP analysis, and up to 200 keyword results per search are listed. Mangools describes Keyword Difficulty as its own estimate of how difficult it may be to reach Google’s first results page. The free offer allows five lookups per 24 hours, with 15 related keywords and five competitor keywords per lookup; the limit refreshes 24 hours after the first request. Mangools includes KWFinder in subscription plans rather than selling it separately. Those plans include other tools such as SERP analysis, rank tracking, backlinks, and site analysis. A REST API provides keyword research and competitor analysis endpoints, and access requires a token. The browser extension is available for Chrome and Firefox. Mangools says search-volume data usually has a one-month lag.
