1. The service
OpenKeyword gives free keyword research: a popularity score from 0 to 100, a search intent and a 12-month trend for keywords, built from searches people choose to share. The service is free and has no accounts.
2. Fair use and limits
To keep the tool free for everyone, use is limited per day, as listed on the How it works page. You agree not to:
- get around the limits, for example by creating many sessions or installs
- scrape, copy or resell the keyword data in bulk
- send automated, fake or misleading contributions
- attack, overload or probe the service for weaknesses
We may block access that breaks these rules.
3. Contributions
When you turn on sharing, you allow us to use the cleaned search words you share to build and publish keyword scores. Contributions are stored as described in the privacy policy and cannot be traced back to you. You can stop sharing at any time.
4. The keyword data
You may use the scores, intents and trends you look up in your own work, including client work and published content. The data is an estimate based on shared searches; it is not a count of searches and may differ from other sources.
5. No warranty
The service is provided as it is and as available. We do not promise that it will always be online, error-free or that any score is accurate. Decisions you make with the data are your own.
6. Liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost profits or data, arising from your use of the service.
7. Changes
We may change the service or these terms. When the terms change, the date at the top of this page changes with it, and material changes are announced on this site before they take effect.
