Frequently asked
What does the Free Keyword Generator return?
Enter a seed keyword + a country. We return up to 50 related keywords (one search step out from your seed in DataForSEO's keyword graph), each with monthly search volume, keyword difficulty 0-100, and average CPC in USD. The list is sorted by volume descending so the biggest-traffic opportunities surface first.
Where does the data come from?
DataForSEO's keyword graph, which is derived from Google Ads' Keyword Planner data + DataForSEO's own SERP analysis. Volume + CPC come from Google Ads. Keyword difficulty (KD) is DataForSEO's 0-100 score based on the strength of the top 10 organic results for that keyword (similar to Ahrefs KD or Moz Keyword Difficulty).
How big is the difference between countries?
Huge for commercial terms, less for informational. "car insurance" volume in the US (33,100/mo) is ~6× the UK (5,400/mo) and ~50× India (660/mo). The graph also picks up region-specific terms — searching "jio recharge" in India returns dense related results; in the US, sparse. Always select the country your audience actually searches from.
Why are some volumes shown as "—"?
Three reasons. (1) Google Ads doesn't publish exact volumes for low-volume keywords (typically <10/mo) — privacy + data sparsity. (2) Very new keywords haven't had time to accumulate enough Google Ads bid data to estimate. (3) DataForSEO's last refresh for that country was before the keyword was added. You can still target these keywords; they're just not vol-quantified yet.
What does the Keyword Difficulty (KD) number mean?
A 0-100 score estimating how hard it is to rank in the top 10 organic results for that keyword. 0-29 = easy (most new sites can rank), 30-49 = medium (good content + a few links), 50-69 = hard (established site + active link-building), 70+ = very hard (typically requires DR > 50 + many topical links). KD is computed from the link strength and on-page signals of the current top-10 SERP — Citare uses DataForSEO's KD verbatim, matching Ahrefs Keyword Difficulty conceptually but not byte-for-byte.
How does this compare to Google Keyword Planner directly?
Google Keyword Planner requires an active Google Ads account and historically rounds volumes into wide buckets (10-100, 100-1K) for non-spending accounts. DataForSEO buys the underlying signal and surfaces precise estimates plus KD (which Planner doesn't have at all). For free keyword research, this tool gives you both, with no signup required.
