Autocomplete Keyword Tool
Why the Google Autosuggest is great for your Keyword Research?
Google Autocomplete is a feature created to reduce the typing time of users. When a user types a text into the search engine, Google Autocomplete automatically completes it with query predictions. It’s a way for Google to make some suggestions to you. These suggestions are mainly user-based and aren’t tied to any particular brand or product. Autocomplete generates these predictions based on how you have defined keywords and your keyword usage.
Google Autocomplete only provides suitable predictions if you have entered all the relevant keywords you are looking for. If you want to buy something and enter the brand name as a search query, it will give you some suggestions. The whole concept behind Google’s suggestion and autocomplete is to provide web users with accurate searches. If they type trending topics, then Google Trends can give them the information they need.

How to search the Google Autosuggest?
We already mentioned above that sending the right keywords to the autosuggest is crucial for getting back relevant queries. Below you find some examples how you can create “smart” seed keywords to get back more specific search terms.
Ask the Autosuggest about your competitors!
When we create keyword topics for consulting projects we start to think about relevant entities for that business. Entities are a group of words that belong together somehow. Let’s say you sell a software solution – then one entity will be your competitors. Yes, you know your competition – but I bet you will be surprised what the users thinks. The are searching for product comparisons you probably haven’t thought about.
Let’s say my product is PRTG (a great network monitoring solution) and I want to focus on the market view when it comes to competition. By sending “PRTG vs “ to the Autosuggest you will get all the answers easily.
Now let’s go back to the understanding of entities within the business: With this smart autosuggest seed keyword I can create easily a list of the most important competitors in the market. You can create multiple lists like that and use it for understanding search queries or running text analysis based on entities.
Extract the most important products for a brand!
There are a lot of situations where you want to extract the most important products for a given brand. An easy way of doing this is to send a brandname in combination with “review” to the google autosuggest. By doing that you will get the most important products in a way the users are searching for. This part is very important: In most of the times you are using the product names provided in for example google shopping feeds you will find product names that are not the way people are searching for.
We use this approach for PPC keyword research. But like shown in the other example you can fill another entity list “product names” to understand the keyword topic in a superior way.
Once you understand the concept of search entities and ways to extract them directly from the google autosuggest you can create SEO content in a very powerful way. Google loves it when you cover all semantic relevant aspects of a keyword topic. Entities will give you the perfect map or this.
