If you want traffic from Google? 

You first need to do keyword research to understand what people are actually searching for.

So, Google has a keyword research tool that allows you to do just that: Google Keyword Planner (Google Keyword Tool).

But, Google Keyword Planner removed the ability to see exact monthly search volumes. Now they just show a vague range.

You can get these back, but you have to run Google Ads campaign. This costs money.
But don’t let this put you off. Google Keyword Planner is a very powerful tool, and has some clear benefits. Not least, the fact that it suggests keyword ideas that you can’t find anywhere else. Trust me, I checked.

The problem? Most SEOs have no clue how to get the most from this tool.

In this post, I’ll show you how to get some serious SEO value from Google Keyword Planner. Who knows? There may even be a couple hacks for reviving exact search volumes… for free.

Let’s start with Google Keyword Planner basics.

How to Access Google Keyword Planner for free.

Google Keyword Planner is 100% free to use. You need not spend a penny on Google Ads to gain access. You just need a Google account.
NOTE: Don’t have a Google account? Get one for free here.

But here’s what sometimes happens when you try to access the tool:

You’re asked to set up a Google Ads campaign.

Google is so aggressive with this, in fact, that it can look like there’s no way to access the tool without first handing over some cash. Well, I have good news:

You can access the tool without running a Google Ads. You just have to jump through a few hoops.

Go to Keyword Planner

To start, go here. Click “Go to Keyword Planner.”

NOTE: You may then be asked to re-enter your password for verification.

Now here’s the important part:

What’s your main advertising goal?

When you see the “What’s your main advertising goal?” screen, don’t choose any of the three options. Hit the small “Switch to Expert Mode” link below instead.

NOT SEEING THIS LINK?
Here’s yet another quirk in Google Keyword Planner: Google only displays this link in browser windows of a certain width.

Goto >>> Browser Menu(at top right side browser appears like 3 DOTS vertical) >>> Zoom >>> click on — (minus) till should appear Switch to Expert Mode.

If you don’t see the link, try resizing your browser window to make it wider.
As ridiculous as this is, it should then appear.

Create an account without a campaign

On the next screen, hit the “Create an account without a campaign” link. (It’s another small one.)

Confirm your business information

Hit the “Submit” button on the next page. (Don’t worry; Google won’t ask for credit card details.)

Explore Your Account

You should then see this screen:

Hit the “Explore your account” link.

Tools & Settings

Finally, click the “TOOLS & SETTINGS” button on the menu bar, and you should see a link of the Keyword Planner.

Congrats! You're all done

Now you have access Free !!! No need to enter billing info or run a Google Ads.

I hope now you get all the information about How to Access Google Keyword Planner.
