People who have used Google AdWords know that they have had a keyword research tool that can be used for PPC Advertising research, keyword research, campaign research, and even Search Engine Optimization efforts. Over the years, Google has continued to improve their keyword tool and the Google Keyword Planner is my favorite keyword research tool to use in 2019 and it will likely be the same in 2020 as well.
In order to get started, you will need a Google Ads account. If you want access to the complete set of data in terms of Average Monthly searches, you must have an active campaign in your account or some campaign history.
