What Keywords Everywhere does

Most people meet it as the search volume under the Google search box. That is the start of it, not the whole story.

Where it works

What you get

The extension is free to install, and several features are free. Search volume and the other metrics are a paid feature that uses credits, so you only pay for the lookups you make. Your keywords are sent to our server only to fetch their metrics, and are never stored. It works on Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

Set it up in three steps

Setup takes a couple of minutes. After that, the data appears on its own every time you search.

1

Install the extension

Add Keywords Everywhere to Chrome, Firefox or Edge from its official web store. It takes one click.

2

Get your free API key

Sign up for a free API key and paste it into the extension. The free features work straight away.

3

Purchase a subscription for paid metrics

To unlock search volume and the rest, choose a plan and add credits. One credit is used per keyword.
