Seed Keywords review (2026): is it any good?
Free tool that collects keyword ideas by asking your contacts
Seed Keywords report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for asking real people what they'd search for
Seed Keywords is a free web tool for the start of keyword research: you write a scenario, share the link, and the people who open it type what they'd search for. It gives no volumes, difficulty or any other data, and the list stays empty until people answer. There are no accounts, so you bookmark the link or lose it. Past the first brainstorm, you'll need a real keyword tool.
Who Seed Keywords is for
- Fits if you want to hear how customers would word a search, not how you would
- Works for building a seed list to check later in a keyword tool
Who Seed Keywords is not for
- Skip it if you don't have contacts willing to answer, as the list stays empty
- Not for you if you want volumes or difficulty, since it gives no data
- Too light for anything past the first brainstorm
- Watch out: there are no accounts, so a scenario is reached only through its URL, which you must bookmark
- Watch out: it's web only with no integrations, and results leave only as a CSV file
Why Seed Keywords gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyFree, with no account and nothing to buy. You make a scenario, share it and download the answers as CSV.
- AFree plan and trialEverything is free and there are no limits on record: anyone with the link can answer, as many times as they like.
- DFeaturesOne narrow job: collecting phrases from people you send the link to, then linking each to a Google search. No volumes, difficulty or other data, and the maker itself suggests checking the list in a main keyword tool.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Making a scenario takes a minute, but you're only productive once enough contacts answer, and with no accounts you have to bookmark the link to get back.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no integrations or API. The results leave as a CSV file.

Keep Seed Keywords, or make your own?
Keep it
Seed Keywords is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 38 of the 51 other keyword research tools we grade.
What you could make
- Surveys: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
What this rests on. Seed Keywords’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Seed Keywords?
Seed Keywords is a free tool for the start of keyword research. You write a search scenario, such as needing a faulty PC fixed, and share its unique link; the people who open it type what they would search for, and their answers build a list of seed keywords. It supplies no search data of its own and was made by Red Evolution, a UK marketing agency.
Worth knowing
- Gives no search volumes, difficulty or other metrics; the maker suggests checking the list in a main keyword tool.
- The list stays empty until people answer, so it depends on sharing the link with enough contacts.
- There are no accounts: a scenario is reached only through its unique URL, which the tutorial says to bookmark.
Key features
- Search scenarios
- Pose a problem in your own words and ask what people would type into a search engine to solve it; the tutorial advises keeping the wording neutral.
- Shareable answer link
- Each scenario gets a unique URL to send by email, forums or social media. Anyone who opens it can answer, as many times as they like.
- Results list and CSV download
- The scenario's results page lists every suggested phrase, lets you delete entries and downloads the list as a CSV file.
- Check phrases on Google
- Each phrase links to a plain, exact-match or intitle search on a Google country domain you pick, to see what already ranks for it.
