Quick overview
What is AdsKeyHub?
AdsKeyHub helps you choose keywords, study search demand, and estimate bids and budgets for creating or improving your own Google Ads campaigns. You can start with free keyword suggestions and use a paid report when you need a saved planning view.
You create and manage campaigns in your own Google Ads account; AdsKeyHub provides research and planning tools.
Who is AdsKeyHub for?
AdsKeyHub is for advertisers, business owners and teams who want to research keywords and plan their own Google Ads campaigns. Its keyword ideas can also help with landing pages and content planning.
What makes AdsKeyHub different?
A paid report brings related keyword ideas and available estimates into one saved view. Depending on the report, you can explore historical search demand, budget forecasts, keyword themes and site ideas. Normal navigation and reopening saved results do not cost another credit.
Free keyword tool
What can I do with the free keyword tool?
You can enter a keyword or phrase and get keyword suggestions around that topic. It is a fast way to explore ideas before you decide whether you need a deeper paid report.
Is the free tool really free?
Yes. The free keyword tool is free to use. It is designed for quick keyword discovery and simple exploration.
What is the difference between free and paid?
The free tool gives quick keyword suggestions. A paid report saves a broader set of keyword ideas and available estimates for your chosen location, language and period. Its available tabs help you compare demand and plan bids and budgets before working in your own Google Ads account.
Can I use the free tool before buying credits?
Yes. That is a good way to start. You can test a topic in the free tool first. If the topic looks useful, you can create a paid report for deeper research.
Paid reports and report credits
What is a report credit?
One report credit is used when a new paid keyword report is successfully completed and saved. It covers the whole report, not one keyword or row. If the report cannot be saved, no credit is used.
What do I get for one report credit?
You get one saved keyword report with related ideas and available estimates of search volume, competition, cost per click and bids. Reports can contain many rows and, where available, additional planning tabs. Optional requests for missing themes or new site ideas have their own credit rule explained below.
Why is one paid report more useful than one keyword answer?
Planning a campaign rarely depends on one phrase. A saved report lets you compare related searches, commercial angles and available estimates in one place before choosing what to use in your own campaign.
What does “up to 20 seed phrases” mean?
Enter one main keyword and use + Add related seed phrases when you have closely related terms. The total limit is 20 seed phrases for one topic. AdsKeyHub can explore related keyword ideas around that topic.
Do I need to enter every keyword variation?
No. Start with a clear main phrase and add related phrases only when they help define the same topic. The saved report lets you review the related ideas that AdsKeyHub finds.
Can I enter multiple seed phrases myself?
Yes. Use + Add related seed phrases, with one phrase per line or phrases separated by commas. Keep them closely related and stay within the 20-phrase total.
Can I enter any topic?
Some topics are unsupported because of safety, legal or quality rules. If a request is blocked before a report is saved, no report credit is used.
Working inside a paid report
Do I spend another credit when I click inside an existing report?
No. Reopening a saved report, switching tabs, sorting, navigating rows, viewing saved search demand and downloading CSV or Excel do not use another credit. Budget forecast calculations also use no report credit, subject to a separate daily limit.
Why is that useful?
Because real keyword research is interactive. You often need to click, compare, open related ideas, and move through the report before you understand the topic.
AdsKeyHub is designed so that you do not feel charged again for every normal action inside a report you already created.
When is another credit spent?
A new paid search uses one credit only when a complete report is saved. If Load themes is offered for missing labels, it uses one credit only when new labels are returned and saved. New Site ideas also use one credit only when a nonempty result is saved. Opening an already saved result is free.
Why do I sometimes see a confirmation before a new paid report?
AdsKeyHub may ask you to confirm a new paid report before submitting it. This makes the potential credit use clear; the credit is used only if a complete report is saved.
Can I download my report?
Yes. You can download an available saved report as CSV or Excel. Downloading does not use another credit.
What does Search demand show?
It shows monthly historical search estimates saved with your report, where available. They describe past demand and are not a forecast of future traffic. Opening the tab uses no extra credit.
What is Budget forecast?
Choose up to 20 keywords from your report, a future period, a daily budget and a maximum CPC bid. Press Calculate forecast to see available estimates of clicks, cost and average CPC. It does not create a campaign or use a report credit. You can save up to five new scenarios per day and reopen saved scenarios without recalculating.
What are Keyword themes?
When available, theme labels group keywords already in your report without changing its original rows. Some reports have no labels. If Load themes is offered, one credit is used only if new nonempty labels are saved; viewing saved labels is free.
What are Site ideas?
Enter a public page URL or choose an entire site to get related keyword ideas in a separate list. The original report stays intact. You can request up to three new URLs per day. A new nonempty saved result uses one credit; reopening it is free. To make a full report from an idea, start a normal paid search.
Results and data
Where does the keyword data come from?
Paid reports use keyword and advertising estimates from connected data sources. The free tool provides a separate set of suggestions. Coverage and precision depend on the location, language, period and topic.
Are keyword volumes exact?
No. Keyword volumes, competition values, and related metrics should be treated as estimates. They can be rounded, delayed, incomplete, or unavailable for some topics.
Why are estimates still useful?
Estimates help you compare ideas. Even when the numbers are not perfect, they can show which phrases are likely broader, narrower, more commercial, or more specific.
What does competition mean?
Competition is a simple signal that helps you compare keywords. In the free tool, labels like low, medium, and high are simplified estimates, not exact ad-market measurements.
Why do some reports have more rows than others?
Some topics have more available keyword data than others. A broad commercial topic may produce many related ideas. A rare or very narrow topic may produce fewer rows.
Why does AdsKeyHub group and expand results?
Related results can reveal more ways people search around a topic. They help you compare options for your own campaigns, landing pages and later research without changing the wording of the saved keywords.
Credits, payments, and account
Do I need an account to buy credits?
Yes. Your account lets AdsKeyHub assign purchased credits to you and show your current balance.
Who processes payments?
Payments are processed by Paddle.com. Paddle acts as the Merchant of Record for paid orders. AdsKeyHub does not store your full card number or full payment credentials.
When are credits added?
Credits are added after Paddle confirms the payment and the webhook is processed. This is usually fast, but in some cases it may take a short time.
What should I do if I paid but credits did not appear?
Do not make repeated purchases to solve the issue. Contact AdsKeyHub through the Contact page and include the email address used for your account and your Paddle receipt or order information if available.
Can I get a refund?
Refund rules are explained in the Refund Policy. Please review them before buying credits.
Safety and blocked topics
Why does AdsKeyHub block some keywords?
Some topics are risky, restricted or otherwise unsupported under our safety and quality rules. These checks help keep research on supported topics.
Does a blocked keyword spend a credit?
No. If a request is blocked or a complete report cannot be saved, no report credit is used.
Can I bypass the blocklist?
No. These safety checks apply to all requests.
