Step 3 - After Signing in, it will take you to the Google Ads signup page where you create an ad but we're not going to do that. We will jump or skip that process to get access to the Keyword Planner.

Why Bloggers should use Google Keyword Planner

It is a free keyword tool in the market and it is one of the most authoritative tools because all its data from Google itself so it has a higher chance of providing the nearest correct answer than most other free tools. 
Google won't give exact data of keyword volume, so the keywords tool can't give the exact data about a keyword. 

So instead of believing data from other tools why can't we consider that data providing by Google. 

Google Keyword Planner provides you with options like

1. Keyword Ideas
2. Grouped Ideas
3. Plan Overview
4. Ad Group (details for ads which are combined in a group)
5. Keywords (details for keywords you enter along with Forecasts and Historic Metrics)
6. Locations (entered keywords details in a specific region)

And provide details like

1. Avg Monthly Searches
2. Keywords' Difficulty/Competiton
3. Top of Page Bid (low range)
4. Top of Page Bid (high range)
5. Max CPC (Cost per Click)
6. Clicks, Impression, and Cost of those keywords you search for.
7. CTR (Clickthrough Rate) and Average CPC of your keywords.
8. The Averages of the above-mentioned details for your keywords in groups,
9. And finally the Forecasts over the next year for your keyword group along with devices based costs, clicks, and Impressions along with locations.
