What it does

Keyword Checker is a quick research tool for validating keyword opportunities. Enter any keyword and instantly see how many people search for it, how much advertisers pay per click, and how hard it is to rank for — in any country and language. No setup required.

Check a keyword

  1. Type a keyword into the field (e.g. best coffee makers).
  2. Optionally choose a country (default: Global) and language (default: English).
  3. Click Get volume or press Enter.
  4. Results appear with your main keyword plus a couple of related suggestions.

Reading the results

  • Volume: estimated monthly searches in the selected market
  • CPC: the average cost-per-click advertisers pay — a signal of commercial value
  • Difficulty: how competitive the keyword is, shown as LOW (green), MED (amber), or HIGH (red)

A dash (—) means data wasn't available for that keyword in the chosen market. The best opportunities usually pair healthy volume with low difficulty.

Saving keywords

Tick the checkbox next to any result to save it to your account. Saved keywords persist across sessions so you can build a target list and reuse it in other tools.

Previous checks

Every lookup is added to Previous Checks. Open that panel to revisit any earlier search — click an entry to instantly restore the keyword and its results. Use Clear all to reset the list.

Tip: Check the same keyword in Global and then in a specific country. Comparing the two tells you which markets are worth targeting first.
