Keyword research can be a time consuming process if you let it.
What most people don’t know is that Google does a majority of your keyword research for you.
All day, every day, googles most valuable asset (their users) is feeding the keyword machine and strengthening their algorithm.
Nom nom nom. Google likes data.
Let me explain:
Go to Google, Type Something, and Wait
If you go into Google and type out the beginning of a common keyword phrase, add a letter of the alphabet and google will show you the light.
What you see in the screenshot above is the most commonly searched for keyword phrases around the keyword “Keyword Research” + the letter t.
So what I can assume from these autosuggested results is that tons of people are searching for those phrases.
If a ton of people are searching those phrases, this typically means it’s a keyword worth optimizing a page on your site for.
Make sense yet? Good!
Now I will show you how to expedite this process x 1000. Read on.

Conclusion
Don’t try to reinvent the wheel when doing keyword research.
Locking yourself in a room with a couple of colleagues and brainstorming different keyword ideas is a great way to waste everyones time and your Boss’s (or your) money.
Grab a huge list of keyword’s that you KNOW people are searching for and then expand out from there.
