Which keywords to manage?

[JoelOlson]

I'm trying to determine how much certain keywords are searched, is there a tool for that?

Ie. I'm a mortgage broker in a small area

But I want to see if people search for things like

No downpayment, etc

I also want this to be location specific, how do I do this?

Hi Joel,

Your best bet would be using the Adwords Keyword Tool.

Once you're on that page you can enter your keyword (be sure to select "exact match") on the left, and you can select your country as well. If you want to check keyword along with their location you could try doing [keyword]+[city], such as "plumbing goldshire" for example.

A nice small guide for the tool can be found here.

Good luck.

Be sure to consider the PRO tools here on MOZ too -

Not only does it give you the times the KW is searched but it list the top 10 competitors - with a very thorough analylsis of them all.

Killer tool - and just one of many when becoming PRO.

Geeze, listen to me, like I work for them or something ;o)
