Free SEO tool

Build a word tree from a keyword list to see how searches branch

Paste a list of keywords or phrases, one per line, choose the main word, and get a word tree: every phrase branching out from that word, sized by how often each branch occurs. It is the quickest way to see what people add to a core term, and in what order.

Keyword Word Tree

What it checks

What the Keyword Word Tree looks at

Branches from one word

Pick the word every phrase shares and see what comes before and after it.

Sized by frequency

Thicker branches are the modifiers people use most, which are your page and heading candidates.

Keyword research input

Paste exports from Google Search Console, Keyword Planner or any keyword tool.

Content outline

Each main branch is usually a section or a page.

How to read it

Reading the tree

Reading the tree

If “plumber” branches into “emergency plumber”, “plumber near me” and “plumber cost”, you have three intents: urgent, local and price. Each deserves its own page or section. Branches that share a modifier (“emergency plumber Denver”, “emergency plumber Aurora”) are city pages waiting to be written.
