Example: “sourdough starter”, compared with “yeast”, in Leeds
Seed: sourdough starter · Compare with: yeast · Location: Leeds
105 ideas in 7 groups, including: Questions: what is sourdough starter · how does sourdough starter work · how much does sourdough starter cost Comparisons: sourdough starter vs yeast · difference between sourdough starter and yeast Learning: sourdough starter guide · sourdough starter mistakes Local: sourdough starter in leeds A–Z: sourdough starter apps · sourdough starter brands · sourdough starter course
Some combinations won't make sense for every topic ("sourdough starter login"); that's expected from a modifier list, and the filter and Search links make them quick to discard.
Where the ideas come from
Every idea is your seed keyword combined with a modifier from fixed lists that reflect how people phrase searches: question words (what, how, why, which), prepositions (for beginners, without, at home), comparisons (vs, or, alternatives), buying words (price, reviews, cheap), learning words (guide, examples, checklist) and an A–Z list of common modifiers. Nothing is fetched from a search engine and nothing is estimated. The same seed always gives the same list.
Question and preposition modifiers
Question phrasings ("how does a sourdough starter work") map to informational pages and FAQ sections, and they're how people speak to voice assistants and AI search. Preposition phrasings narrow the audience or situation: "for beginners", "without a scale", "at home". These long-tail variations usually have less competition than the seed itself and tell you what a page should cover. Group related questions into one thorough page rather than one thin page each.
Grouping and filtering ideas
Ideas are grouped by modifier type, which roughly matches search intent: Questions and Learning are informational, Buying is commercial, Local is local intent, Comparisons sit between research and purchase. Use Filter ideas to keep only ideas containing a word ("how", "price"), and the group checkboxes to hide what doesn't fit your site. The CSV includes the group and modifier for each idea, ready to sort in a spreadsheet.
Why there are no search volumes here
Search volume, cost per click and keyword difficulty need licensed data from a search engine or a commercial provider. We don't have such a source, and an earlier version of this page showed numbers that weren't real. Rather than estimate, we give you phrasings and point you to where real data lives:
- Google Search Console: the queries your own site already appears for, with impressions and clicks.
- Google Keyword Planner (free with a Google Ads account): volume ranges.
- Google Trends: relative interest over time and by region.
Turning ideas into pages
- Search the idea on Google (the Search link) and look at what ranks: guides, product pages, videos? Match that format.
- Note the "People also ask" questions and the suggestions in the search box; they're real queries.
- Cluster ideas that share an intent into one page; use the rest as H2s and FAQs.
- Write the title with the title tag generator, then check repetition with the keyword density checker.
