5 Free Ubersuggest Alternatives

Let’s Get To It: 5 Ubersuggest Alternatives That Are Actually Free (And Freakin’ Awesome)

These are not “kinda free but not really.”
They’re no-signup, no-trial, no-card keyword tools I used to build up traffic on 3 different blogs in the last 9 months.

1. Keyword Surfer (Chrome Extension)

If you don’t have this installed yet, stop reading and go get it.

It turns your boring Google Search results page into a freakin’ SEO dashboard.

• Search volume shown right next to keywords in Google

• Shows related keyword ideas on the sidebar

• No login, no quota

• Works instantly as you type

🔥 Pro tip: Search something broad like “digital marketing” and scroll — Keyword Surfer will show 20+ related keywords with volume. Click-worthy gold.

How I used it:
I typed in 50 seed phrases across 3 niches and copied related terms from the sidebar.
= 431 keywords in 2 hours. Zero stress.

2. AnswerThePublic (Freemium but usable)

This one’s a bit moody. Limited searches per day, but still delivers crazy value if you use it smart.

Type in a topic and it spits out:

• Questions people ask (e.g. “Can you do SEO without backlinks?”)

• Prepositions (e.g. “SEO for beginners”)

• Comparisons (e.g. “Ubersuggest vs Ahrefs”)

• Alphabetical long-tails

It’s a treasure map for blog post titles and subheadings.

How I used it:
I entered 6 niche topics like “freelance writing,” “affordable hosting,” and “on-page SEO.”
Took the “Questions” + “Vs” sections and ran with them.
= 193 usable long-tails — all content-ready.

🤫 Use a VPN or incognito to sneak extra searches if you’re hitting the daily wall.

3. Google Search + AI Overviews (YES, I said it)

Listen — people sleep on this, but Google’s autocomplete and now their new AI Overviews are gold.

Search something basic like:

• “How to start a blog…”

• “Best tools for email…”

• “Free SEO tools…”

And you’ll see:

• Autocomplete suggestions

• People Also Ask boxes

• AI Overviews listing out answers and tools

• Searches related to…

If that’s not free keyword research, I don’t know what is.

How I used it:
Typed 100 phrases, scraped all the “People Also Ask” questions + related searches + AI Overview suggestions.

= 422 keyword opportunities.
(Hell yeah, I counted.)

Bonus trick: Install Scraper Chrome extension and right-click to export PAA boxes into sheets.

4. Keyword Sheeter (Yes, that’s the name 😂)

Silly name, but serious workhorse.

This bad boy just pukes out keyword ideas — hundreds per minute — from Google autocomplete.

It’s dumb fast. No limits. No signups.

Just type a seed keyword, hit “Sheet Keywords” and boom — instant ideas.

💩 Expect some junk. But that’s the trade-off for speed.

How I used it:
Punched in “how to,” “best tools for,” “SEO tips,” etc.
Sifted through results, filtered manually.
= 127 decent keywords in 30 mins.

(And yes, I did have to wade through stuff like “how to kiss a girl in class” 😂)

5. Keyword Tool.io (Free version)

I almost didn’t include this, ‘cause the free version hides volume + CPC.

BUT — it still gives a crapload of long-tail keyword suggestions based on your input.

You can use it for:

• Google

• YouTube

• Bing

• Amazon

• Instagram

• And more

How I used it:
Focused on YouTube search — typed “how to grow” and let it rip.
Copied 98 solid titles that I turned into blog posts AND YouTube videos.
Total = 73 usable keywords after cleanup.

Total Keywords Found Using These 5 = 1,246 (So yeah, I rounded it to 1,200+ 😏)

I didn’t invent anything.
I just used free tools smartly.
And I stacked them together like LEGO bricks.

Here’s the breakdown:

All free. All legit. All still working in 2025.

Bonus: 3 Tricks to Turn These Keywords Into Blog Traffic (That Sticks)

Finding keywords is step one. Using them correctly is step two.

Here’s what actually works in the real world:

1. Go Long & Specific

Don’t just write “SEO tools.”
Write:
👉 “7 Free SEO Tools I Used to Rank a Blog from Scratch (No Budget)”
👉 “Best SEO Tools for Food Bloggers in 2025”

Long-tail = low competition = faster wins.

2. Use Your Keyword in These Spots:

• Page title

• Meta description

• First 100 words

• H2 headings

• Image alt text

• URL slug

It’s basic, but most newbies skip this. Google needs to know what the page is about.

3. One Keyword = One Article. Don’t be greedy.

Stop trying to rank for 10 things in one post.
Pick ONE keyword, go deep, serve the user intent. That’s what ranks.

Final Words: You’re One Keyword Away From Traffic
