KWFinder is a keyword research tool for finding search terms, estimating their search volume and difficulty, and viewing search trends.
What KWFinder is
KWFinder is a keyword research tool for finding search terms, estimating their search volume and difficulty, and viewing search trends. It can also show which keywords a competitor’s domain or URL ranks for. Historical search volumes help identify seasonal patterns, while location-specific research is available across more than 65,000 locations. Its free allowance covers five lookups per 24 hours, with up to 15 related keywords and five competitor keywords per lookup. The limit refreshes 24 hours after the first request. Mangools includes KWFinder in its subscription plans rather than selling it on its own; those plans also include tools such as SERP analysis, rank tracking, backlinks, and site analysis. Mangools defines Keyword Difficulty as its own estimate of how hard it may be to reach Google’s first results page. A REST API offers keyword research and competitor analysis endpoints, with access requiring a token. A browser extension for Chrome and Firefox can send domain, URL, and keyword research to KWFinder. Search-volume data usually trails by one month.
