Who or what is the SEO Scout?
I learned about SEO Scout about 2 months ago through a colleague. He posted about it in the largest SEO Facebook group in the Benelux.
And of course, being the tool nut that I am, I dove right in.
SEO Scout is actually an SEO tool just like Mangools or SEMrush. Within SEO Scout, you have the following functionalities:
- Tool that automatically adjusts on page SEO elements to get CTR as high as possible
- 3 types of keyword analysis tools
- A rank tracker
- A tool that can figure out keyword opportunities
- A tool that lets you find out a website's best-scoring keywords
- And a keyword cannibalization tool.
In addition to all that, SEO Scout also has the "Scout Suggest. A free keyword analysis tool that this article goes on to discuss.
More about SEO Scout's free keyword tool: the Scout Suggest
So the SEO Scout Suggest tool is a free program that you can use to figure out keywords. And yes, finding out ... not determining!
After all, you don't get to see volumes or, for example, a difficulty level like with KWFinder or Ubersuggest.
So it is by no means a replacement for your favorite tools, but it is a nice addition to the rest.
To further give you an idea of what you can do with the Scout Suggest, I'll explain everything to you with the help of some pictures.
As you can see, I entered the keyword "plumber arnhem. You can then select a country in addition to a language.
Among those, you have different kinds of suggestions. Think about:
- Complete sentences
- Questions
- Equations
- Research
- From A to Z
- And more!
You can check and uncheck the different suggestions to find out more or fewer types of keywords or combinations of keywords.
The last important part of the SEO Scout Suggest tool are the tabs: categories, groups and text list.
Within the categories heading, the various keywords are grouped together. For example, by alphabetical order, comparisons or questions.
With groups you have the option of downloading a CSV file containing all the words and with text list you get a simple list that you can then put into KWFinder to determine volumes and difficulty.
The text list function is similar to the Keyword Sheeter and looks as follows.
How does the Scout Suggest work?
Even if you have zero experience with online marketing or SEO, the SEO Scout Suggest is still easy to use. You do this as follows:
Step 1: Click on the following link to go to SEO Scout's website: https://seoscout.com/suggest.
Step 2: At 'Enter your keyword...' enter the keyword.
Step 3: In the language feature, select the language in which you want to find out the keywords (it defaults to 'English').
Step 4: In the country feature, choose the country in which you want to find out the keywords (it defaults to 'United States').
Step 5: Click 'Go' and let the tool do its job!
Pros and cons of the Scout Suggest + alternatives
The big advantage of the SEO Scout Suggest is that it is completely free to use, works quickly and easily, making it excellent to add to your keyword research.
The downside is that the tool has nothing new to offer when looking at the already existing competitors. In addition, I personally find that SEO Scout in the Dutch language often offers less keywords and input than the alternatives.
That's really a downside, because the bulk of my customers are in the Netherlands....
I already mentioned the competitors of the SEO Scout Suggest in the introduction, but I like to list them again for you. Then you can test for yourself which tool you like best:
