Technical Definition
Google Keyword Planner is a free tool in Google Ads for keyword research. Provides search volume ranges, competition level, and bid estimates. Designed for PPC but useful for SEO keyword research. Limitations: ranges not exact numbers (unless running ads), competition refers to ad competition. Good starting point for keyword discovery.
Simple Explanation (ELI13)
Google Keyword Planner is a free keyword research tool inside Google Ads. It shows you search volumes and helps you find related keywords. The data is meant for advertisers, so 'competition' refers to ad competition, not SEO difficulty. Still useful for understanding what people search for.
