    Chose Google Trends
    I like using Google Trends because it gives you a clear visual of seasonal trends and compares multiple queries at once. However, I do prefer using other systems like SEMRush and Ahrefs because they are more detailed in the information they give you regarding your website and …

    Chose Google Trends
    I've used SEMRush, while more of a SEO Manager than keyword trend analyzer, it does have that option as it does relate to SEO management, but between the two, its nice to have the option in SEMRush, but Google Trends is better at doing the trend analyzing than SEMRush is.

    Chose Google Trends
    One of the most obvious reasons why I chose Google trends over other keyword research platforms is because it's free. At the same time, it also has the most relevant and easy-to-use features out of the bunch. Google Trends does not have as many features as SEMRush or Buzzsumo, …

    Chose Google Trends
    They are both great tools. I prefer Google Trends because of the location capabilities and being able to go hyper-local. It does not however provide the details on cost and competition like SEM Rush does.

    Chose Google Trends
    Google Trends has the biggest source of data and is the most accurate. It cannot be used without any other tool because of its own limits (keyword suggestion, semantical analysis, etc.).

    Semrush
    Chose Semrush
    SEMRush is my personal favorite SEO paid or free tool to use. I personally love the way it breaks up individual projects and allows you to work on each client's site as a whole separate from your other internal or external work. I also love how it allows quickly exported …

    Chose Semrush
    SEMRush is definitely better than SpyFu in terms of the amount of data you get, the detail of the data, and the accuracy of the data. SpyFu is like a beginner's version of SEMRush. SpyFu is great if you're smaller, less experienced, and want to spend less money - but SEMRush is …
