Free Keyword Research Tool

Keyword research is the foundation of every successful SEO and content marketing strategy. Without it, you're guessing what your audience wants — and guessing rarely ranks. Skycally's free Keyword Research tool pulls live data directly from Semrush, one of the largest SEO databases in the world, so you can validate ideas with real numbers instead of hunches. Enter any keyword, pick your target country, and instantly see how many people search for it each month, how much advertisers pay per click, and how fierce the competition is.

Beyond the headline metrics, the tool surfaces up to 25 related keywords and 15 question-style variations for every search. Related keywords help you build topic clusters — groups of semantically connected pages that Google rewards with better rankings. Question keywords (starting with what, how, why, when, can, does, etc.) are gold for featured snippets, voice-search results and long-form articles that answer real user intent. Together, they turn a single seed keyword into a full content roadmap.

The country selector matters more than most people realise. Search behaviour, competition and CPC vary wildly between markets: a keyword that costs $8 per click in the United States might cost 40 cents in Brazil, and a topic that's saturated in the UK can be wide open in Australia. Choose the country that matches your audience — if you serve multiple markets, run the tool once per country to compare volumes and difficulty before deciding where to publish first.

Everything runs server-side through our authenticated Semrush connection, so you never need a Semrush account, credit card or subscription. There are no daily lookup caps for individual visitors, no watermarks, and no email walls. The tool is designed for indie site owners, freelance SEOs, content marketers, students and anyone who wants professional keyword data without the $140/month enterprise price tag. Bookmark it and use it every time you plan a new post, page or product.
