Hey! 👋 I'm Ryan. I've been blogging & working in the content space for 12 years now—both with my own blog (ryrob.com) and at Close where I'm the Head of Content. One of the things that's frustrated me most over the years working in content and SEO, is how every great free keyword research tool starts out as *free*... then flips a switch with drastic usage limitations, feature restrictions or obnoxious upsells as soon as it gains popularity. That sucks for bloggers & content teams on a tight budget, and that's who this tool is for. My friend Andy & I built this tool to stay forever free and we're committed to keeping all the core features of this free keyword tool available to everyone who wants to use it—with future Pro features only coming as additional services & add-ons that are designed to make your content stand out from the crowd. The real usefulness of a keyword tool, is in showing you the right keyword phrases to target for your blog content. I believe you should focus most of your time on pursuing keyword phrases at the intersection of medium search volume and low competition wherever possible. That’s the sweet spot for actually getting traffic quickly & what this tool is designed to surface for you. I hope you enjoy & we'd love to hear your feedback on how to keep improving it! 🙏

What a great tool! I love exploring the stats, but the 'Ideas' tab with more related keywords is really fantastic! Thanks for making such a great tool for free!
