Purpose: Generate thousands of keyword variations for subdomain creation and content planning.

Basic Keyword Generation

Step 1: Access the Tool

Navigate to the Keyword Suggest tab within Keyword Research.

Best Practices for Keyword Generator

1. Start Broad for Maximum Variety

Use general seed keywords to get diverse suggestions:

• Instead of “emergency dental implants Los Angeles”, start with “dental implants”
• Let the prefixes and suffixes create the variations

2. Use for Large-Scale Projects

The Keyword Generator excels when you need:

• 1,000+ keywords for multiple subdomains
• Comprehensive coverage of a niche
• Variations for testing and optimization

3. Strategic Prefix/Suffix Selection

Choose modifiers that match user intent:

• Commercial intent: “buy”, “price”, “cost”, “cheap”, “discount”
• Informational: “how to”, “guide”, “tips”, “tutorial”
• Local: “near me”, city names, “local”
• Temporal: Current year, “today”, “now”

4. Monitor Results Periodically

Don’t let the generator run indefinitely:

• Check results after 5-10 minutes
• Adjust settings if keywords aren’t relevant
• Stop generation once you have sufficient keywords

5. Filter and Refine

After generation:

• Export the full list
• Use Excel or Google Sheets to filter further
• Remove irrelevant or low-quality variations
• Group similar keywords for subdomain assignment

Example Workflow:

1. Enter seed keyword: “plumbing services”
2. Set prefixes: “emergency”, “affordable”, “licensed”
3. Set suffixes: “near me”, city names, “24 hour”
4. Generate 1,000 keywords
5. Export to CSV
6. Filter for keywords with 3+ words
7. Group by intent (emergency, cost-focused, location)
8. Create subdomains for top keyword groups
