How does It Work?
Once you type your keyboard in the search bar and choose the country you are competing with the other websites, you simply hit the search button.
It is as simple as that.
I have made an example search as you can see in the above screenshot.
Keyword Magic Tool returned the search volume of my targeted keyword together with all other long-tail variations. Obviously, the list is long, as you can see only for the “parasailing” keyword the tool provided 13,030 results with a total monthly search volume of 341,710.
These numbers are for broad match keyword search results. You can narrow down the results by using match filter as phrase match, exact match or related keywords according to the goals of your campaign.
If you want to use the advanced search functionality you can further filter results by using the criteria mentioned below:
Words count: Used to find long-tail keywords, you can specify how many words your long-tail keywords should consist of.
Search volume: This is the monthly search volume. It is handy to know if our keyword has a sufficient amount of monthly searches.
KD % (Keyword Difficulty): An estimation of how hard it is to outrank your competitors when targeting certain organic keywords. (60-80% are realistic keyword difficulty to target for most people.)If you manage to find relevant keywords with relatively high volume and keyword difficulty below 60%, those keywords can be very lucrative as well.
CPC (Cost Per Click): The estimation of how much advertisers pay to bid on a certain keyword.
Competitive Density: It is a measure of competitiveness for any given keywords.
SERP Features: It is used to find keywords that may help us to rank for the SERP feature or featured snippet.
Results in SERP: How many SERP results are listed by Google as a result of the search process for a given keyword.
Once you have completed the keyword research process, send your findings to the Keyword Analyzer. It's a kind of keyword repository where we can monitor keyword metrics in real-time and refine our keyword list based on that information.
