Quick, practical update for and others: Keyword Planner now lives inside Google Ads (Tools & Settings → Planning → Keyword Planner). It’s still the same two‑mode tool — one surface to “Discover new keywords” (seed terms, URL or product category) and another to “Get search volume and forecasts” (paste/upload lists and get performance estimates) — but you must finish account setup (billing) to use it. ()

A simple workflow that works today: use Discover new keywords to build a themed list (filter by location, language, date), then add the best candidates to a plan and switch to Get search volume & forecasts to see clicks/impressions/cost estimates and to export CSVs for sorting. Set match types when you add keywords to a plan so forecasts reflect the intent you care about. This approach turns broad idea lists into a prioritized, testable set for content or campaigns. ()

Two gotchas worth noting. First, “Exact” is no longer literal: Google matches exact and phrase to close variants (misspellings, plurals, reordered words, synonyms), so treat exact‑match volumes as intent signals, not strict string matches — use the Search Terms report and negative keywords to cut unwanted variants. (This is why ’s comment about match types matters.) (ads-developers.googleblog.com)

Second, many users see broad volume ranges (0, 1–100, 100–1K, 1K–10K, etc.) instead of precise counts — Google throttles granularity for some accounts (often low or no ad spend or heavy API use). If you need exact figures, options include a small test campaign, the “Get search volume & forecasts” / forecast‑impressions trick, or validating with other tools (Search Console, Google Trends, Ahrefs/SEMrush, KeywordsEverywhere). Plan around ranges for prioritization and run micro‑tests when accuracy matters. (searchenginejournal.com)

Practical tip: treat Keyword Planner as an ideas + commercial‑intent filter. Use it to shortlist terms, then verify intent and competition with Search Console and an independent keyword tool before committing significant content or ad budget.

Since google change their keyword tool, I tried a new keyword tool by squirrly seo. Is more easier to use rather than the new google planner. At least, for me, is more easier :)

Its not a big deal to use the new keyword planner tool by google, there are slight chances should be updated like multi-keywords estimated by once and avg.monthly searches and only select Exact-Broad-Phrase matches here you can select only one at a time to estimate in different regions.

Google is definitely pushing Adwords with it, which is an annoying feature compared to the tool beforehand. I used it a few days ago for the first time and kept getting around a 1000 keywords returned for the list of around 15 that I input. I'll have to diddle around with it some more to see if there is a way to narrow the returns.
