Google Trends
This is one of my favourite tools to use whenever I am creating new articles for my blog or clients. On Google Trends you can easily find out what is trending or more importantly what other people are searching on Google.
It’s very simple to use – add your keyword, choose a location, a timeframe and hit search. You could also compare multiple keywords. This is a great way to decide what you want to write about.

It gives you valuable information about your website, blog or e-commerce site. Meaning that you can easily track any traffic that goes to your website, learn about demographics, what devices are people using and many other useful data.
I say useful because having this type of information about your readers is crucial when looking to build a successful marketing strategy aimed to grow your online business.

I like that they also provide tutorials about building a website (for complete newbies). So if this is you, rest assured you can easily follow them.
So, to find out your domain name, all you need to do is write a couple of words and then hit submit. In a matter of seconds, you’ll be bombarded with tons of ideas to choose from.

At the moment I am using it just for content research and I love it. All I do is write my keyword in the search bar and A LOT of information will come up.
I can see the title, backlinks, engagement of different social media platforms and how many times a particular link was shared.
You could stop here if you want, but I sometimes click through the article to see what the headlines are, what the layout is and the length of the article.
That’s because I want to make it better so that my articles would rank on Google. Therefore, your article should be better than what it’s already there.
