6 Awesome Tools To Find Long Tail Keywords For Any Niche New

I have talked a lot about Keyword research, and it’s benefits. One of the major mistake I have seen many people making is, targeting direct keywords, instead of long-tail keywords (LTK) . If you are wondering, what are long tail keywords, here is a quick example of difference between short-tail and long-tail :

• Long-tail Keywords (Ex. of short tail keyword) – Monthly searches 50
• Long tail Keywords vs. short tail Keywords (Ex. of LTK) – Monthly searches 12
• long tail keywords conversion rate (Ex of LTK) – Monthly searches 13

Now, if you will notice that last two Keywords have less-searches, but the competition for these two keywords are far less than short-tail keyword. Also, long-tail keywords drive more targeted traffic than short one, and hence your conversion (Sales, email sign-up) improves a lot. If you want to learn more about it, check out How long tail keywords could equal massive success.

Here I’m sharing some of the best tools for finding long-tail keywords in any niche. Note, some of them are free, and few of them are paid. I will explain the features, and you can pick anyone which suit your needs.

Long Tail Keywords tool and software’s

Google Auto Complete tool:

Auto suggestion feature of Google search is your first free tool. This is a handy feature by Google, which will let you easily find long-tail keywords in any niche. Google auto-populate keywords (Search term), based on popularity. All you need to do is, start typing your first keyword, and select the options from auto-suggestion. Though, you need to use any Keyword tool to see other details like Number of searches, CPC, competition and other important details. On my micro-niche site, I usually skip the competition check, as with niche site, it’s easily to get higher ranking. You can check out this guide from SEMRUSH, which explains the process in detail.

Google Auto-suggest:

This is a tool by Keywordtooldominator, which actually takes default feature of Google auto-suggestion to next level. You can easily find all auto-suggested keywords, and this free tool will let you download Keywords in .csv format. You can then use any of your favorite Keyword research tool to check other important details about the Keyword. If you are using Google search to find new long-tail keywords, I highly recommend tomake a shift to this one.

HitTail:

I have used Hit-tail in the past, and nothing beats this useful web-app. It’s a paid tool, but ROI is great. Specially, if you are running a business blog, professional blog or an E-commerce website, Hittail will help you to make a list of those long-tail keywords, which can bring better results.

In short, based on keywords that are driving traffic to your website, Hittail will suggest other LT keywords, that you should target, and it will not only push the ranking of old content (Hint: Internal linking), it will help you to get more targeted traffic. I will not explain Hittail in details, as you can find complete detail about it on my Hittail review article.
