After reading this blog, you will never run out of content ideas again. Let’s go. Hey, welcome to Adnankmd blogs. This blog helps you grow your search traffic. If you’re new, subscribe. Now, I’ll share some ideas and tools to generate content, starting with this.
Content Discovery Tools. I’m not sure if you have used this tool before, but I find it useful. The link is contentideas.io. Simply search for your niche, for example, SEO, and the tool will curate a list of content from Facebook, Pinterest, and Reddit related to your search term that is most shared on those platforms. These are the posts with the most engagement on Facebook in the last 30 days; you can switch the filters to the last 180 days. You want the content to be most shared across those platforms. From here, you can get content ideas from these engaging articles. Feel free to use a more detailed keyword, like page speed optimization, and you will see even more unique content to reference for ideas. Have you used this tool before? Let us know your thoughts on Content AI Tools.
If you run a WordPress website, you can generate many content ideas using Rank Math’s Content AI tools. Once you connect your site with a Rank Math account and turn on the Content AI module, you will have access to the tools. The blog post idea tool and the topic research tool can help you generate content ideas. Let’s start with the blog post idea tool. Describe what your blog is about. For example, a dog food blog. You can change the audience and tone, but I’ll keep it as is. The important element is the idea’s style. Do you want listicle ideas, like the 10 best dog foods, tutorial ideas, reviews, or case studies? Add multiple styles if they fit what you are looking for. Select your language, define how many content ideas you want to generate, say 20, and hit Generate. In a few seconds, you will have many content ideas. If you need more ideas than just dog food, amend your description and hit Generate more.
Another tool for generating content ideas is the topic research tool. While this tool is meant to ease the research process for a topic, you can also use it to generate ideas. For example, if you want ideas for your BBQ blog, describe what you want it to generate, such as blog post ideas for a BBQ blog. You can use these relevant tabs or add several. This tells the AI you want blog post ideas that are recent, historical, regional, or comparative. Let’s say I want specific and recent. For the format, choose a list. The others are not meant for ideas. You do not need a keyword. Select your audience and language, choose the number of outputs, and hit Generate. Soon, you will have a list of topic ideas related to your niche. How cool is that?
Besides the two AI tools, you can chat with RankBot through this chat tab. It works like other chatbots you may have used. There is already a prompt template, such as List Trending Topics in Industry, that you can use. Just click on it, and it will be added to the field. Or use prompts from the prompts library. You can explore these prompts, but some helpful ones generate content ideas, like finding secondary keywords, brainstorming keywords, and generating topic ideas. Let’s say we use the long-tail keywords prompt. Click Use Prompt, replace this with a topic such as dog food, and hit send. Now you have many content ideas to work on. Good prompts are hard to find. If you find a prompt you always use, save it as a template. For example, if you use the brainstorm keywords prompt and always add something, like a long-tail, or if you find a good prompt elsewhere, save it as a template. Copy the prompt, click the prompts library, click add custom prompt, give it a name like generate long-tail keywords, and paste the prompt here. Use brackets to insert placeholders. Once you save the prompt, you’ll find it in the Custom tab. If you haven’t tried Content AI as a Rank Math user, we highly recommend it. Besides Rankbot, you can use chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, or Google Gemini to find content ideas. Put them side by side and ask, what are the commonly searched longtail keywords in the dog food niche? Copy this, send it, and ask the same question in each chatbot. Soon, you’ll have lots of content ideas, and you can easily sift through them. You can also amend the prompt, such as replacing long-tail keywords with five five-word keywords. Do the same for the rest. After a while, you will have many five-word keywords people commonly search for in the niche. You can also use prompts like, What are some commonly asked questions about your topic that can be used to create engaging Q&A content? What are some newsworthy topics or events related to the company or industry that can be used for PR or media outreach? Provide a list of blog suggestions for a topic or industry that will attract readers and generate traffic. Try some of these prompts, and you’ll find a ton of content ideas. If you have other prompts to share, leave them in the comments. Thank you.
Keyword Research Tools. There are many keyword research tools, so I’ll list a few here, starting with AnswerThePublic. If you do not pay for the tool, you are limited to three searches per day. Choose the platform where you create your content, select your target country (e.g., the United States), choose the language, and add your topic (e.g., Pit Bull Dog Food). As it loads, you will have content ideas shown in several wheel graphs. If it is hard to see, you can switch to the list format, which I think is best, or the table format. Since we’re limited to three searches per day, let me introduce you to Answer Socrates. AnswerSocrates.com has similar functions to AnswerThePublic, but it does not have any restrictions, at least for now. Add the same topic, Pit Bull Dog Food, select a country, and hit Search. Soon, you will have queries from People Also Ask, question queries related to your keyword, preposition queries, comparison content ideas, and all ideas grouped alphabetically. That is a neat tool. Aside from these two keyword research tools, I use WordStream’s free tool a lot. Let’s do the same thing: search for Pitbull Dog Food and research it. This tool is useful for bloggers and video content creators who want to rank for specific keywords, as it generates many keywords with the same search intent. When you create content around one of these topics, for example, a blog post or video about good dog food for Pit Bulls, you have the potential to rank for the rest of the keywords, such as best food for Pit Bulls, best dog food for Pit Bulls, and top-rated dog food for Pit Bulls. All these have the same search intent. This shows you the potential of targeting a single keyword. You can analyze this list of keywords to find content ideas with different search intent, such as the best diet for a Pitbull puppy. Maybe diet is more distinct because you’re not just looking for a type of dog food, but a meal plan. I’m not a dog person, but you tell me. Anyway, feel free to search for other keywords as well, and you can validate whether there is search volume for your content ideas. These are three popular keyword research tools, and we have covered many more in this video. Feel free to check it out. The link is in the description. If you have other free keyword research tools you use, share them with us in the comments.
Analytics Tools. If you have a website and are somewhat established, you can use tools like Google Search Console and Rank Math Analytics to find content ideas. On your Search Console, go to the Performance tab to see all the keywords your site is ranking for. If you are creating videos, this shows how many people are searching for these keywords based on impressions. If you are looking for blog content ideas, you should not target these keywords unless the search intent is different. For example, check page-specific keywords instead of the full list. Let’s say we want to find keywords related to air fryers. These are all the keywords the page is ranking for. Most have the same search intent. People searching for these keywords are looking for non-toxic air fryers. Since you already have an article ranking for these keywords, do not create another piece of content targeting them. Instead, optimize the same page for these keywords. However, for keywords with a different search intent, for example, Instant Pot Duo Crisp versus Ninja Combi Multicooker, people searching for this keyword want a comparison between these two products. The page ranking for this keyword is not serving the search intent, so this is a new content idea for you. It makes sense to create content about this topic because it is in demand. Alternatively, you can find content ideas directly from your WordPress site. If you have Rank Math Pro installed, go to the analytics module and under Keywords, you will see all the keywords your site is ranking for, similar to Google Search Console. For page-specific keywords, go to the SEO Performance tab. These are the performance metrics for each page on your site. Expand one of them to see all the keywords the page is ranking for. You can find high-quality content ideas through the analytics module. Google Tools. Google itself is an incredible tool to find content ideas. For example, if you are looking for content ideas related to the dog food niche, start with the keyword dog food or any other seed keyword and go through the alphabet, such as space A. These are the auto-suggest keywords that can be content ideas. Then B, you will see more content ideas, space C, D, and so on to Z. Now, take it up a notch. Instead of just using seed keywords, use keyword placeholders to find high-quality content ideas. For example, start with how to get * dog food. You will get a list of keywords. Then add letters after the asterisk, such as * A. You will see how to get ants out of dog food, which is a unique content idea. Then * B, how to get birds to stop eating dog food. These are unique as well. Try * C: how to get cat to stop eating dog food. As you go through this method, you will find plenty of content ideas. If you create content around these keywords, you will get a lot of attention because these are what people are searching for. Once you reach Z, use another placeholder, such as the best way to, and start with A again. This technique will give you a ton of content ideas. When you explore a keyword, there are other Google tools, like the People Also Ask section. As you expand a keyword, more related ideas will appear. Click on another, and more ideas will show up. Keep doing that, and you will have many content ideas. If the expanded ideas are no longer relevant, search for another keyword or click other related keywords along the path; more related content ideas will appear. Also, remember the people also search for section, as it provides keywords people are searching for related to your keyword.
Google also has its own keyword research tool, the Google Keyword Planner. You just need to sign up for a Google Ads account to access it. You do not need to run an ad. Choose the Discover new keywords option. Enter a seed keyword such as dog food, select your audience location, remove all to select a worldwide audience, and hit Get Results. Soon, you will have lots of content ideas. Or choose the other option: start with a website, such as your competitor’s site, like supertails.com. Hit Get Results, and you will have more content ideas. If you want a full tutorial on using Google Keyword Planner to find content ideas, check out this video. The link is in the description. Competitor’s Audience. Whether you are creating content for your blog, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or elsewhere, you can find content ideas by analyzing your competitors’ audiences. For example, Neil Patel is a prominent figure in SEO. Go to his channel and sort the videos by most popular. Check out the most popular video and go through the comments. Sort the comments by newest first to find recent content ideas. As you go through the comments, you will see what your competitor’s audience is asking. For example, can you teach how to use Google Search Console? That could be a content idea. From this, you can draw conclusions about content ideas, such as whether backlinking is still relevant.
Let’s scroll a little more. Another content idea could be: Are exact-match domain keywords still relevant? As you go through the comments, you will find many content ideas, especially when the audience is active in the comment section. Do not do this only on YouTube. Try it on other platforms as well, like Instagram or Pinterest. You will find real-world questions your audience wants answered, and this is one of the best sources of content ideas. Other ways to find content ideas include visiting forums and Q&A sites like Quora and Reddit. Read through the questions and responses people have about topics in your niche, and you will find highly relevant content ideas. Another way is to adapt content from other niches or industries. For example, if you are in the dog food niche and there is a trend where fitness enthusiasts showcase their ” What I eat in a day content, you can use the same concept and apply it to your niche, such as What My Dog Eats in a Day. If there is a trend around meal prepping, you will have content ideas for meal prepping for dogs. There is no set rule to find content ideas. The key is to test things out and see if they work. Finally, pick up a book related to your niche or industry and start reading. You will find a wealth of content ideas.
Will you ever run out of content ideas again? Do let me know in the comments. And if you have any other ways to find content ideas I have not mentioned, let us know as well.
