How to Simplify My Keyword Research

[CherylJones]

Hi! I feel I'm making my keyword research way too complicated. I'm hoping someone uses--and will recommend--just one free keyword tool to use, for instance, Chat GPT, etc. I am confused as to whether to combine methods such as using Google Autocomplete, Google Related Searches, etc. with other methods. Of course, I plan to use the Zazzle site itself for its own suggested keywords no matter what other tool(s) I may use. Thanks!

I use ChatGPT and am quite happy with the results. I instruct it to give me keyword phrases up to five words long and each ending with a comma, that way they're easy to copy and paste. I also stipulate to describe the design itself and not the product type. I often upload an image of my product after I've downloaded it from Zazzle and that way it comes up with lots of great suggestions. You can request 20 examples or as many as you like and then choose the ones you think are best.

Thank you, Baylee! So ChatGPT is the only keyword research tool you use?

Yup, I'm basically lazy .. lol. I have researched a lot of other methods in the past but never found anything that really seemed to pay off for all the time involved. I may be missing some other relevant ideas but, if so, I'm okay with that.

Thank you so much again! I just tried your technique by uploading a pic of one of my greeting cards and was wowed at the results. I wasn't aware that method was even an option. I've got to get back in the game! And your advice seems like a huge game-changer. I think you will save me loads of time and trouble. Great advice! 😊🌹

I know, it's pretty cool right? Believe it or not you can even ask it to critique your design and it will give you lots of helpful hints on how to improve. It's amazing all the info you can get if you try asking a few questions. Since I don't have any formal graphic design training, I've picked up some really useful tips this way.

One more question if you don't mind; is there a secret sauce to picking the keywords from one's keyword list (for the Zazzle tagging section)? I'm wondering if certain aspect of the design is more important than the others, for example, the trait (funny) vs the style (modern), as we are limited on tags? ... I know we can combine words to make phrases, but I'm still a little confused. : )

Being averse to anything AI, I use https://www.mykeyworder.com/ .  There's another one like this, too, but I can't remember the name of it.
