is use autocomplete to see what people are actually typing in as you start to enter any type of search term so for example if you're looking up different keywords related to back pain you can come over here to Google you just enter the keyword and it's gonna come up with some of the top suggestions and it's based on the overall popularity and similarity of these different keywords here so using Google you can come in to Amazon here you can see if we come just over here to back pain we click on space you can see some of the top things that people are looking for when it comes to back pain if we come over to Bing same exact thing so back pain back pain relief you can find all these different keywords by using autocomplete this is great when you're creating content so for example if I'm creating content for YouTube and I want to create content related to back pain I can see exactly what people are looking for so how did here's 10 back pain relief exercises best back pain sleeping position so all these different things can be very helpful for figuring out the types of content that people are looking for and I can tell you with Surfside PPC I use this very often if I'm looking for new keywords so for example if I'm looking up Facebook ads I can just enter that keyword here it's gonna come up with the top things that people are actually typing in into YouTube and you can do the same thing with Google Amazon is great for products so to see the types of products that people are looking for you just enter it into Amazon and then Google and Bing are just such big search engines that you can see what people are actually typing in when they're searching in these different search engines so using autocomplete it's one of my favorite things to do especially as I'm creating content or coming up with some new content ideas related around an individual keyword okay so some of the next tools are gonna be some freemium tools that you can use they're gonna give you some key words but they either have a limit to how many searches that give you some of them won't give you all the information such as search volume and max cost per click bids and different things like that so I'm gonna go through some of these different tools here the first one is keyword tool I oh you can use Google autocomplete so this is gonna use Google autocomplete just like what I showed you previously Google YouTube Bing Amazon eBay Place or Instagram and Twitter so you can search a variety of sources here the next one is que parser so this is a keyword suggestion tool for SEO and PPC again and as a free and paid option so if you click here you can see there's a variety of sources that you can actually choose to search from it can be useful if you're looking for keywords from a variety of sources the next one is going to be hyper suggest so this one same thing you can search some different sources here you can enter your keyword you can choose country language and just click

you just click on free download here and it's available for Chrome so I have it up here at the top and I'll go through that in a minute so we're gonna come back over here to keyword tool that IO and we're gonna enter back pain and just click on search okay so you can see search for back pain found 648 unique keywords they don't show you search volume trend CPC or competition but you can get a lot of different ideas here and what it does is it does a lot of these keywords and alphabet orders so you can see some of the ones at the top are some of the ones that are probably the most popular keywords and then as you scroll down you can see back pain and fever after sleeping after running so you can see there's some different things here that you can actually find it's all in alphabetical order so as we go down back pain burning keep going down back pain chart so there's a lot of different options that you can find here as you're searching all these different keywords here so keyword tool that IO is a really good keyword tool sometimes I use it for YouTube I've never done the full access where you get to use their procurer tool but it's an option that you can use if you want to I generally just stick the free keyword tools myself so the next one is gonna be que parser so I'm gonna do the same thing here so it says enter one or more seed keywords I'm just gonna enter back pain here we're gonna search Google and click on start okay so you can see here they've queued all these different keywords they've discovered over 250 keywords it's still going as we scroll down you can

Amazon and different things like that now the next one I want to go through is hyper suggests so with hyper suggests they really don't give you much with the free plan so if we come in here and we

one and we'll click on search here so you can see they found 438 results for back pain and if we to see here they only give us ten results because we have no active subscription so obviously you need
