How to Use Ubersuggest as a Beginner (Why you need a Better SEO Tool in 2020

When I received an email update on Ubersuggest Keyword tool version 5.0 from Neil Patel, I was like, what is new this time around?

I had to ask that question within me because I wasn’t so comfortable the last time I used the keyword tool for a case study on how to easily build an Amazon Niche Site.

What is new? Behold the New Ubersuggest version 5.0. I will tell you more about the latest Ubersuggest tool version but for now, it sounds weird that we want to use a tool we do not have a reason for, right?

So, what’s the tool all about and how can it benefit a beginner that wants to create a profitable blog in 2020?

Ubersuggest is a popular free SEO tool that specializes in generating new keyword ideas.

Originally created as a tool that scraped Google Suggest terms, Ubersuggest was recently acquired by a well-known Digital Market and entrepreneur Neil Patel, who has since expanded the feature set significantly.

Talking of Neil Patel, he is a cool entrepreneur that cares about the beginners. And by that, I mean, he responds to questions & queries you through at him.

(Neil’s responses on his blog)

 

In 2016, I wanted to see if I could get an influencer to respond to my question. Surprisingly, Mr. Neil did well to give feedback via Facebook messaging. Since then he has been one of my choice brands in the Digital marketing world.

The brand Neil has built is not the type that can be built-in 1440 minutes. You need years to garner such experience and then the followership/audience.

Side Note: Neil has crossed 500,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.

The only innovation about Ubersuggest 5.0 is that it can now generate 1 Million Keyword Suggestions in 7 Seconds.

What this means is that when you perform a search on Ubersuggest for any keyword, you’ll see a “related” tab with even more suggestions.

Our Case Study Keyword is “Gardening”.

Entering the keyword into Ubbersuggest we see that it has a monthly search volume of 135,000 | SEO Difficulty of 75 | Paid Difficulty of 48.

Monthly Search Volume: this defines the number of people entering this search term into the search engine – per 30 days.

SEO Difficulty: this defines how hard or simple it will be to rank for the keyword – Gardening”

The more the SEO Difficulty figure, the harder it becomes to rank for it. And if it’s lower, the better.

Paid Difficulty: This defines an estimated competition in paid search. The higher the number the tougher/competitive.

Cost Per Click (CPC): this defines the average cost per click. That is if you wanted to pay Google to be seen as an ad.

Ranking for The Searched Keyword – Gardening

From the result above we know that as a beginner it will take forever years for you to rank on page 1. Why?

You will probably need a lot of domains referring to your blog – Backlinks – to boost your domain authority.

Since we can’t rank for this as a beginner, what next?

Step 1. Scroll down to “View all Keywords Ideas”.

Step 2. Click on it and view more Keywords – we will go on to search for related keywords we can easily rank for (with or without backlinks).

Looking through you will see that there are over 500 related keywords on Gardening.

Now, click on “Filters” – we want to filter – exclude searches from 41+ SEO difficulty.

Under SEO difficulty. Enter Min – 15 and Max – 40 (You can select the range you want). Click on “APPLY”

(You can leave out the other parameters. At this point, it’s not important to us).

From filtering it to 15-40, the outcome showed 9,612 Keyword Ideas; an indication that we can easily rank for these keywords.

Now click on “Copy to Clipboard” to copy the keywords to the clipboard or click on “Export to CSV” to save/open them using Google Sheet or Excel.

The Result: if the Ubersuggest tool is frank – accurate enough it means that with or without backlinks you can expect up to 50,000 monthly visits on the above keywords to your blog. (But don’t get excited yet).

If this is a valid search volume, then all you need to do is 1. Build your blog around ads – Google AdSense. 2. Apply for AdSense and get an approval in less than 24 hours.

With these options, you are sure not to waste the traffic – that is if you can’t maximize affiliate marketing with them.

Note: the websites listed on the right-hand side are your competitors.

How can you beat them? There are certain SEO steps you can take, however, the quick hacks are; making sure your On-page SEO is in place, use FAQs in your Schema and write epic contents.

Why You Need A Better SEO Tool other than Ubersuggest

See, I am trying my best to confer the fact that Neil has done an incredible job for allowing the newbies and internet marketers to use this paid tool he acquired for FREE.

While we know that no 2 SEO Tools show the same results – based on the algorithm or structure used, however, when the changelog is too much we’ve got to be straight, after all, it’s our job to bring traffic to our site.

What I mean is, you can decide to use Ubbersuggest – the important thing is the result you’ll get.

A big disclosure: Ubersuggest is good, but you need something better or best for your blogging business.

A better SEO recommended by Vishwajeet Kumar is SEMrush which you can even start a Free Trial.

Final Note On Using Ubersuggest As A Beginner

In the early days of Google the idea for PageRank — Google’s early ranking algorithm — stemmed from Einstein.

According to Austen Allred, Larry Page and Sergei Brin were students at Stanford, and they noticed how often scientific studies referred to famous papers, such as the theory of relativity. These references acted almost like a vote — the more your work was referenced the more important it must be.

If they downloaded every scientific paper and looked at the references, they could theoretically decide which papers were the most important, and rank them.

They realized that because of links, the Internet could be analyzed and ranked in a similar way, except instead of using references they could use links.

So they set about attempting to “download” (or crawl) the entire Internet, figuring out which sites were linked to the most. The sites with the most links were, theoretically, the best sites.

And if you did a search for “university,” they could look at the pages that talked about “university” and rank them.

Google Today

Google works largely the same way today, although with much more sophistication and nuance. The need to accurate address the sophistication and nuances gave birth to various SEO tools. So, to draw the closing line, first of all, thanks to Neil for a great tool. But let’s break the cocoon.

If you don’t want to waste time banking your hope on skeletal traffic volume results you’ve got to get a better SEO tool.
