How to Use SEMrush, Senuto, Ubersuggest for Polish Keywords

Learn how to find Polish keywords using SEMrush, Senuto, and Ubersuggest. Discover local search nuances, long-tail phrases, and SEO tools for Poland.

When you want to attract a Polish online audience, performing thorough keyword research is essential. Finding the right search terms in Polish can significantly improve your website’s visibility on Google.pl (Google Poland). However, Polish is a unique language, and the way people search in Poland often differs from other markets. Generic approaches might miss important nuances of Polish search queries. This is where specialized SEO tools come into play. In this article, we’ll explore how to use SEMrush, Senuto, and Ubersuggest to discover and analyze Polish keywords effectively.

Polish users often phrase their searches differently, using inflected forms and very specific phrases. To succeed in Polish SEO, you should understand these patterns and use tools that provide accurate data for Poland. Each tool we discuss has its strengths: SEMrush is a powerful global SEO platform that includes data for Poland, Senuto is a Polish-made tool built specifically for local search insight, and Ubersuggest offers a user-friendly way to get keyword ideas (with a free tier) that can be useful for beginners. By leveraging these tools, even a beginner can build a solid keyword strategy for the Polish market.

Polish Keyword Research: Why You Need Specialized Tools

The challenge of Polish search terms

Not all keyword tools handle the Polish language equally well. Polish is a highly inflected language – one root word can have many different endings and forms depending on case, gender, or number. For example, a base word like “książka” (“book”) might appear in searches as “książki”, “książce”, “książkę”, etc., depending on context. A generic tool might treat these as separate keywords, or even miss some variations. This means you could overlook important search phrases if your tool isn’t optimized for Polish.

Another challenge is understanding the intent behind Polish queries. Local phrases and colloquial expressions may not translate directly into other languages. A phrase that’s obvious to Polish users might be misinterpreted by tools developed primarily for English or global markets. Without the right approach, you risk targeting words that aren’t quite what your Polish audience uses, or you might miss long-tail queries that they do use.

Advantages of local SEO tools for Poland

This is where Polish-focused SEO tools shine. Platforms created by Polish SEO experts (like Senuto) have a deep understanding of how people search in Poland. They often have extensive local databases of keywords that reflect what Polish users actually type into Google. These tools group together different forms of a word and recognize synonyms or semantically related terms in Polish. As a result, you get a more accurate and comprehensive view of the keyword landscape in Poland.

Global tools such as SEMrush, on the other hand, do include Poland in their coverage – SEMrush has a database for Google Poland with millions of keywords. It provides valuable data on popular terms. However, seasoned marketers in Poland have observed that purely global tools sometimes miss very niche or emerging Polish keywords. They might not capture every inflection or the latest slang and trends that Polish users search for. Therefore, using a combination of global and local tools can give you the best of both worlds.

By combining insights from a worldwide tool (for broad trends and high-volume terms) with a Polish-specific tool (for granular detail and local nuances), you ensure no valuable phrase slips through the cracks. For instance, Senuto can reveal precise long-tail queries and question phrases unique to Polish searchers, while SEMrush can help validate their search volumes and show how competitive they are on a national scale. Meanwhile, Ubersuggest can serve as a quick check to spark ideas and see basic metrics without overwhelming a beginner.

In the following sections, we’ll dive into each tool and illustrate how to use them step by step for Polish keyword research.

Using SEMrush for Polish Keywords

SEMrush is known as an SEO “power tool” – it’s comprehensive and packed with features. When focusing on Polish keywords, SEMrush can be extremely helpful, provided you know how to configure it for local results. Here’s how to make the most of SEMrush for Poland:

Selecting the Polish database in SEMrush

The first thing you should do is ensure SEMrush is set to show data for Poland. SEMrush’s keyword tools draw from country-specific databases. To get Polish search data:

  1. Log in and choose the location – Navigate to the Keyword Overview or Keyword Magic Tool within SEMrush. There will be a country selector (usually a dropdown menu with a flag icon). Select Poland (PL) or “Google – Poland” as the target database. This tells SEMrush you want metrics relevant to Google searches in Poland.
  2. Use Polish seed keywords – When you enter a keyword into SEMrush’s search bar, make sure it’s in Polish (unless you are specifically researching English keywords used in Poland). For example, if you operate a coffee shop, you might start with a term like “kawa ziarnista” (whole-bean coffee) instead of its English equivalent. Using the native language ensures you’re researching the actual terms Polish customers would use.

Once you’ve set the database to Poland, all the metrics SEMrush shows—such as monthly search volume, keyword difficulty, and cost-per-click (CPC)—will be specific to searches in Poland. This is crucial because a word that’s popular in English or another language might have very different search volume in Polish, and vice versa.

Finding keyword ideas with SEMrush’s tools

SEMrush offers multiple ways to find related keywords and expand your list:

  • Keyword Overview: This feature gives you a snapshot for a single keyword. If you enter “kawa ziarnista”, the overview will show you how many people search for it in Poland each month, how difficult it might be to rank for (SEMrush’s Keyword Difficulty score), and an array of related information. It often includes a list of related keywords and questions people ask (like “jaka kawa ziarnista najlepsza?” meaning “which whole-bean coffee is the best?”). The overview is a great starting point to gauge if a keyword is worth targeting.
  • Keyword Magic Tool: This is SEMrush’s powerful keyword research workhorse. After selecting the Polish database, you can enter your seed term here and get hundreds or even thousands of suggestions. The Keyword Magic Tool will return a big list of Polish keyword ideas grouped by topics. For example, from “kawa ziarnista” it might group results into clusters like “kawa ziarnista cena” (price), “kawa ziarnista do ekspresu” (for coffee machines), etc. You can click on these groups to dive deeper.

Using the Keyword Magic Tool effectively:

  • Look at the search volumes to prioritize terms. The tool will list an approximate monthly search volume next to each suggestion (for Poland).
  • Check the KD% (keyword difficulty percentage). A lower number means it may be easier to rank for that term in organic results. If you’re just starting out, you might focus on medium or lower difficulty phrases that still have decent search volume.
  • Use filters to narrow down results. SEMrush lets you filter the list by including or excluding certain words, setting a minimum volume, etc. For instance, if you only want long-tail phrases containing 3 or more words, you can filter by word count. If you are only interested in queries that include the word “ranking” or “najlepsza” (best), you can filter by that word.
  • Explore the “Questions” subtab. SEMrush can show questions related to your keyword (these are queries phrased as questions, like “jak przechowywać kawę ziarnistą?” meaning “how to store whole-bean coffee?”). Such questions are golden for creating informative content or an FAQ section that targets those specific needs of users.

Another useful SEMrush feature is the Keyword Gap tool (found under Competitive Research). This allows you to compare your website with competitors to find keywords they rank for that you don’t. To use it for Polish SEO:

  • Enter your website and a couple of top competitor websites (ones that are ranking well on Google.pl in your niche).
  • Set the country to Poland for the analysis.
  • The tool will highlight keywords present in your competitors’ rankings but missing from yours. This is an efficient way to uncover Polish keywords you might have overlooked during manual research. For example, your competitor might be getting traffic from a specific Polish phrase or long-tail question that you haven’t targeted yet.

Analyzing Polish competitors with SEMrush

SEMrush isn’t just about raw keyword lists – it’s also excellent for understanding the competitive landscape:

  • Use the Organic Research feature on a competitor’s domain (again, ensuring the country is set to Poland). You’ll see their top organic keywords in Poland, the pages that rank, and estimates of the traffic those keywords bring. Studying a Polish competitor’s keyword profile can reveal terms that are working well for them. If they’re relevant to your business, you can create better or more targeted content to try to capture those searches.
  • Look at the SERP analysis within Keyword Overview for a given keyword. SEMrush often provides a snippet of the top search results for that keyword. This shows which domains are ranking on page 1 for a Polish keyword and might include their authority scores or number of backlinks. If you see very authoritative sites dominating, you’ll know a term is highly competitive. If the field is open with only niche forums or smaller sites, that could be your chance to rank by providing a high-quality page.

Finally, remember that SEMrush has a Position Tracking tool. After you’ve compiled a list of Polish keywords you want to target, you can set up a project in SEMrush to track your website’s daily rankings for those keywords on Google.pl. You can even specify a city or region in Poland if you are focusing on local SEO (for example, tracking how you rank in Warsaw versus the whole country). This monitoring will help you see the impact of your SEO efforts and quickly spot if you climb or drop for important terms.

Using SEMrush for Polish keyword research gives you a broad, data-driven perspective. It’s great for gathering lots of ideas and understanding competition. Next, we’ll look at Senuto, which can provide even more localized insight.

Using Senuto for Polish Keywords

Senuto is a homegrown Polish SEO tool that has become a go-to resource for many marketers in Poland. It’s tailored to the intricacies of the Polish language and Google.pl’s search results. Whether you’re looking for new content ideas or analyzing your site’s visibility, Senuto offers modules to help – but here, we’ll focus on how to use its keyword capabilities.

Discovering new Polish phrases with Senuto’s Keyword Database

After logging into Senuto (you can start with a free trial account for 14 days to test it out), the primary place for keyword research is the Keyword Database module. This is where you can search for keywords and get extensive suggestions.

  • Enter a seed phrase or domain: Just like other tools, you begin by typing in a word or phrase related to your business. Uniquely, Senuto also allows searching by URL or domain. That means you could input a competitor’s homepage or a specific article URL to see what keywords are associated with it. For example, you could enter “przepisynawidelcu.pl” (a hypothetical competitor in recipes) to see which keywords that domain is visible for, or enter a phrase like “przepis na pierogi” (“recipe for pierogi”) to get keyword ideas around that topic.
  • Choose language and country: Senuto supports multiple languages, but if you’re working on Polish keywords, you’ll naturally pick Polish/Poland. Typically, if your account is set to Poland, it will default to the Polish database. Senuto’s strength is its Polish database, which is continuously updated with real queries from Google.pl users.

Once you run the search, Senuto will return a list of keyword suggestions. Here’s what makes it powerful:

  • It provides both close variants and broader terms. For instance, if you search for “ubezpieczenie samochodu” (“car insurance”), Senuto might show you long-tail variants containing that phrase (like “ubezpieczenie samochodu online tani” – “cheap car insurance online”) as well as semantically related terms that don’t include the exact phrase (like “polisa OC” – a type of car insurance in Poland). This semantic association feature is incredibly useful because Polish users might use a variety of terms for the same concept.
  • For each suggested keyword, you get detailed metrics: average monthly search volume in Poland, an indicator of seasonality (does this query spike in certain months?), the number of words in the phrase, and CPC values (minimum, maximum, average cost per click if you were to run Google Ads on that keyword). It also notes if the keyword tends to trigger any special search results (like maps, images, answer boxes – what Senuto calls “wyniki rozszerzone”). All of this information helps you judge the value of a keyword. For example, you might find a phrase that only gets 50 searches a month but is very relevant and has low competition – that could still be worth targeting for a niche blog post.
  • The interface allows you to sort and filter the results extensively. You can sort by volume to see the most popular queries first, or by word count to find those long-tail gems. If you have specific criteria, say you want keywords that include the word “tani” (“cheap”) or exclude the word “2019”, you can apply those filters. You can also filter by search volume range (maybe you want terms that have at least 100 searches a month) or by whether they contain certain SERP features.

Another standout feature: Narrow vs Broad match. Senuto gives you the option to toggle between:

  • Dopasowanie wąskie (narrow match) – which will show only keywords that contain your exact seed phrase. This is similar to looking at pure long-tail variations.
  • Dopasowanie szerokie (broad match) – which is the default and will include related terms, not just those containing the seed phrase. Broad match is great for exploring topic clusters and related concepts, not just permutations of your keyword.

Moreover, Senuto lets you refine results by domains. If you want to see keywords for which only certain sites rank (or to exclude certain sites), you can use the Domain filter. For example, you might narrow down to keywords where “wikipedia.org” appears, if you’re curious about informational queries, or exclude big sites to find opportunities for smaller players.

Filtering and refining results in Senuto

Senuto’s filtering options deserve special attention because they help you handle the vast data efficiently:

  • Parts of speech filters: This is a unique one – you can filter keywords by grammatical categories. Suppose you only want phrases that include a particular noun or that are in the form of a question (which in Polish often start with verbs like “jak” meaning “how”). Senuto allows you to include or exclude results containing nouns, verbs, or adjectives. This can help you tailor results. For instance, if you’re trying to come up with blog post topics, you might focus on phrases containing question words (which are often verbs or adverbs like “jak” (how), “kiedy” (when), “czy” (do/does), etc.).
  • Keyword text filter: Similar to other tools, you can ask Senuto to show only keywords that contain a certain word or phrase, or that begin/end with a certain term. This is helpful if your initial search is broad. For instance, after searching a broad topic, you may realize you want to zero in on a subtopic – you could filter to only see results that contain that subtopic word.
  • SERP features filter: If you want, for example, keywords that trigger a featured snippet or a “People also ask” box, you could filter by that. On the other hand, you might avoid keywords that trigger a direct answer from Google (because if Google shows the answer immediately, fewer people might click through to websites).

As you apply filters and narrow down a list of promising keywords, you can save them directly in Senuto. The platform lets you create lists or groups of keywords that you can label (say “Spring campaign keywords” or “Blog post ideas – coffee topic”). You can always export your lists to a spreadsheet as well, but keeping them in Senuto means you can quickly run updates or monitor them.

Now, a particularly useful aspect for content planning: Senuto provides two additional reports in the Keyword Database module:

  • Questions: This report, accessible with one click, filters the suggestions to only those that are phrased as questions. It’s an easy way to find out what questions people ask about your topic. If we stick with the car insurance example, the Questions report might give queries like “jak sprawdzić ubezpieczenie samochodu?” (“how to check a car’s insurance?”) or “ile kosztuje ubezpieczenie samochodu 2.0 benzyna?” (“how much does insurance cost for a 2.0 petrol car?”). Each question is a potential article or an FAQ entry that can draw in readers looking for answers.
  • Related terms (Słowa zależne): These are semantically related keywords that may not include your exact phrase but are contextually linked. Senuto uses its own algorithm to determine these relations and even provides a “dependency coefficient” – a number indicating how closely tied the suggestion is to your original query. A higher coefficient (e.g., above 5) means a strong relation. Incorporating these related terms into your content (when appropriate) can help create comprehensive articles that cover a topic in depth, which is great for SEO. For instance, someone looking up “dieta wegańska przepisy” (“vegan diet recipes”) might also be interested in “białko w diecie wegańskiej” (“protein in a vegan diet”) – a related concept that doesn’t include the word “przepisy” but is relevant.

Analyzing search results and competitors with Senuto

What truly differentiates Senuto is its Visibility Analysis module, which complements keyword research perfectly:

  • Positions and competition: By inputting any domain into Senuto’s Visibility Analysis, you can see all the Polish keywords for which that domain is ranking, along with their positions (Top 3, Top 10, etc.). This is similar to what SEMrush’s domain analysis does, but using Senuto’s Polish-focused data. If you put in your own site, you get a quick sense of your current SEO footprint in Poland. If you put in a competitor, you get their footprint. The “Positions” report can be a treasure trove of keyword ideas, as it effectively hands you the list of phrases a competing site is targeting or performing well on.
  • Competition analysis (Content gap): Senuto offers a feature where you can compare two domains to find keywords one ranks for and the other does not. For example, you can compare your site with a top competitor and discover keywords that show up for them but where your site is nowhere to be found. These gaps are opportunities. Perhaps your competitor has a blog article about “najlepsze ubezpieczenia OC ranking 2026” (“best car insurance ranking 2026”) and ranks well, but you haven’t covered that topic – Senuto will highlight that phrase so you know to consider creating content around it. Conversely, it can also show where you rank and they don’t, which might validate some unique content you have.

Senuto’s interface and reports are in Polish, which is helpful if you’re a native speaker or targeting Poland – all the data (like labels of SERP features, or filter names) are in a local context. But even if you use it in English, the insight it provides is laser-focused on the Polish market.

Finally, beyond keywords, Senuto includes tools like a Content Planner (for grouping keywords into content outlines) and a Content Writer module (for optimizing text as you write, based on keywords). These are advanced features that once you have your keyword list, can help in execution – ensuring that when you create a page targeting those Polish keywords, you’re covering relevant subtopics and meeting searchers’ expectations.

In sum, Senuto is extremely valuable for diving deep into Polish search terms and understanding what your Polish audience is looking for. It’s a complement to global tools, often confirming data and revealing niche topics they might miss.

Using Ubersuggest for Polish Keywords

Ubersuggest has earned a reputation as an easy-to-use keyword research tool, especially for beginners or those on a tight budget. Originally just a simple keyword suggestion scraper, it has evolved into a more feature-rich tool under the ownership of marketing expert Neil Patel. Ubersuggest supports many countries and languages, and yes – that includes Poland. Here’s how you can use Ubersuggest to generate and analyze Polish keywords.

Getting started with Ubersuggest (setting the location to Poland)

One of the best things about Ubersuggest is that it’s accessible directly from your web browser without heavy setup. To begin:

  • Go to the Ubersuggest website. You’ll see a search bar prominently on the home page.
  • Select the country: On the right side of the search bar, there’s usually a dropdown menu for selecting the location and language. Choose Poland to make sure you’re looking at Google Poland data. (If there’s an option for language, choose Polish, which pairs with the Poland search engine.)
  • Now, enter a keyword or phrase in Polish. For example, let’s say you run an online store for fitness equipment; you might type “hantle do ćwiczeń” (“exercise dumbbells” in Polish).
  • Hit the “Search” button to see the magic happen.

Ubersuggest will then load an overview for that keyword. If you haven’t logged in, it might prompt you to sign in with a Google account to unlock more free searches – you can do so to get better access, as the free tier allows a certain number of queries per day for logged-in users.

Generating keyword ideas and understanding metrics

The first screen you’ll see is the Keyword Overview for “hantle do ćwiczeń” (continuing our example):

  • It shows the monthly search volume (in Poland) for that exact phrase. Let’s pretend it says something like “2,900 searches/month” – that means roughly 2,900 Polish searches for that term each month.
  • You’ll see an SEO Difficulty score (often labeled as SD) which might be, say, 40 – indicating moderate competition in organic search. The higher this number (scale 1-100), the tougher it generally is to rank on the first page for that term.
  • There’s also a Paid Difficulty (PD) and a Cost Per Click (CPC) value. These are more relevant if you’re considering Google Ads, but they also hint at how lucrative or competitive a keyword is (a high CPC means advertisers are willing to pay more per click, implying it has commercial value).
  • Often, Ubersuggest provides a graph of search volume trend over the last 12 months, so you can see if the keyword is seasonal (perhaps interest spikes every January, etc.).

Now, scroll down a bit and you’ll find the Keyword Ideas section. This is where Ubersuggest lists related keywords. It typically mixes a variety of suggestion types:

  • Suggestions: these are keywords closely related to your query. For “hantle do ćwiczeń”, suggestions might include “hantle do ćwiczeń zestaw” (“set of exercise dumbbells”), “hantle do ćwiczeń 10kg”, etc.
  • Related: broader or lateral keywords related to the topic, maybe something like “ćwiczenia z hantlami” (“exercises with dumbbells”) which rephrases the concept.
  • Questions: queries phrased as questions, like “jakie hantle do ćwiczeń w domu?” (“what kind of dumbbells for home workouts?”).
  • Prepositions and Comparisons: Ubersuggest sometimes breaks these out. Comparisons might show things like “hantle vs kettlebell” if applicable, or prepositional phrases like “hantle do ćwiczeń dla kobiet” (“dumbbells for exercise for women”).

Each of these keyword ideas in the list comes with its own metrics (Volume, CPC, SD, etc.), just like the main keyword. You can sort them by volume or filter them if you’re looking for something specific. If you click on any of these suggestions, Ubersuggest will update the overview to that new keyword – effectively letting you dig deeper or branch out into a new search.

One of Ubersuggest’s handy features is that it shows you a quick glance at the SERP top 10 results for any keyword you click on. Let’s say from our list we click “ćwiczenia z hantlami” – below the suggestions, a panel updates to display the current top-ranking pages for that phrase in Google.pl. You might see titles of articles or product pages, along with some data:

  • Estimated visits (how much traffic that page might get from the keyword),
  • Backlinks (how many backlinks Ubersuggest found pointing to that page, as a rough measure of authority),
  • Domain Score (a metric similar to domain authority, indicating the overall strength of the website).

This is valuable for a beginner because it immediately shows who you’re up against if you want to rank for that keyword. For instance, if all the top results are well-known Polish fitness blogs or big e-commerce sites, you’ll know the competition is stiff. If you see some smaller niche sites ranking, that might mean there’s room for you too, with the right content.

Reviewing content ideas and site audit features

Beyond pure keyword lists, Ubersuggest also offers a Content Ideas section (for some queries) where it lists existing blog posts or articles related to your keyword that have performed well in terms of social shares or backlinks. This can inspire you in terms of what content angle might resonate. If we stick to our example, Ubersuggest might show an article like “5 najlepszych ćwiczeń z hantlami dla początkujących” (“5 best dumbbell exercises for beginners”) with stats showing it got shared on Facebook X times or has Y backlinks. If those numbers are high, it signals that topic was popular, and you might consider covering something similar (but better!).

Additionally, if you enter your own website into Ubersuggest (instead of a keyword), it will give you an overview of your site’s SEO metrics and a list of top keywords your site ranks for. This is akin to a lightweight version of the analysis that SEMrush or Senuto provides, albeit with less detail. It’s a quick way to benchmark where you stand.

Ubersuggest includes a Site Audit tool too, which will crawl your site and report on SEO issues (like site speed, meta tags, etc.), but that strays beyond keyword research. Still, it’s good to know the tool can grow with your needs as you move from just finding keywords to optimizing your whole site.

Limitations of Ubersuggest’s free version

While Ubersuggest is incredibly useful without a big investment, it’s important to note some limitations:

  • Query limits: Free users can only perform a limited number of searches per day. This is usually enough for occasional research, but if you’re doing a big project, you might hit the cap. Logging in with a Google account increases the limit slightly, but heavy users will need a paid plan eventually.
  • Depth of data: Ubersuggest’s keyword database, while good, is not as vast as SEMrush’s or as specialized as Senuto’s. You might notice that extremely specific or low-volume Polish queries don’t appear in Ubersuggest’s suggestions, whereas Senuto might list them. This is largely due to differences in database size and update frequency. Ubersuggest tends to focus on the more common terms.
  • Update frequency: The data (search volumes, difficulty scores) in Ubersuggest may not be updated as in real-time as one might like. Volumes are usually estimates that might lag behind current trends. So if a new buzzword or trend emerges in Poland, Ubersuggest might not show it until it updates its dataset.

Despite these minor downsides, Ubersuggest remains a fantastic starting point. It shines in simplicity – within minutes you can generate a list of relevant Polish keywords, assess their potential, and even peek at what content is ranking. For many beginners, this ease of use demystifies SEO and keyword research.

If you eventually find yourself needing more data or hitting limits, that might be the time to consider investing in a more extensive tool or the paid version of Ubersuggest (which is generally more affordable than other big tools). But even in its free form, Ubersuggest can take you a long way in planning out content and SEO for the Polish market.

Comparing SEMrush, Senuto, and Ubersuggest for Polish Keywords

Now that we’ve looked at how to use each tool, you might wonder: which one should I rely on the most? Each tool has its own philosophy and use-case, so the answer often is – use them together if possible. But let’s compare them in key areas to help you decide where to focus your efforts:

Data depth and accuracy

  • SEMrush: With a database of hundreds of millions of keywords across 140+ countries, SEMrush provides a very broad view. For Poland, it has a robust dataset covering popular and mid-tail keywords. You can trust the search volume figures and competition metrics as good estimates. However, for very niche topics or brand new search trends, SEMrush might not always have the absolute latest query that’s only used by a small segment of Polish users. Its strength is in breadth – if a term has significant traction, it’s likely in SEMrush’s database.
  • Senuto: Senuto’s data is laser-focused on Polish (and a handful of other markets). Its Polish keyword database is extremely comprehensive, often capturing long-tail phrases, colloquial queries, and questions that more general tools might overlook. If there’s a Polish phrase that even a few dozen people search for each month, Senuto is more likely to know about it. It’s also tuned to the nuances of the language, meaning it understands that “lekarz” and “lekarza” are forms of the same concept (doctor) in different cases, and might group data accordingly. For precision in Polish, Senuto has the edge.
  • Ubersuggest: Ubersuggest offers a decent spread of data but on a smaller scale. Think of it as covering the “hits” and some “semi-hits.” It will show you the major keywords and many long-tails, but not every single one. The accuracy is generally fine for making decisions, though volumes are rounded estimates. If you’re targeting highly specific keywords (like ultra-niche scientific terms or very new slang), Ubersuggest might not have them listed.

Features and capabilities

  • SEMrush: It’s the powerhouse with the most features by far. Besides keyword research, SEMrush includes site auditing, backlink analysis, rank tracking, content optimization suggestions, PPC analysis, social media tools, and more. Essentially, SEMrush can be your all-in-one digital marketing platform. The flip side is that it can feel overwhelming, and many features go beyond just keyword research.
  • Senuto: It has a strong feature set for SEO and content marketing, but it stays focused on those areas. Key modules include Keyword research, Visibility (rank tracking and historical performance), Content Planner (for clustering keywords into content outlines), and Content Writer (to help write SEO-friendly content). It doesn’t do things like site audits for technical issues or have PPC research on competitors – it sticks to what matters for organic search in Poland. One cool feature is the SERP analysis that lets you dissect who ranks where for your keywords in a very Poland-centric way.
  • Ubersuggest: Over time, Ubersuggest has added features beyond keywords: a Site Audit tool, basic backlink data, and traffic analyzer for websites. These are simpler versions of what you’d find in SEMrush. For a small website owner, they cover the fundamentals – you can detect if your site has big SEO issues or see who’s linking to you. But Ubersuggest’s feature depth is intentionally kept simple and digestible. It’s great for quick insights and straightforward tasks.

Ease of use

  • SEMrush: While user-friendly considering how much it can do, there is a learning curve. The interface has many sections, and you might need to watch tutorials or read guides to fully grasp tools like Keyword Gap or the various reports. That said, SEMrush provides a lot of help resources, and once you learn it, it’s logical and consistent. Beginners might initially feel lost with the vastness of options.
  • Senuto: If you’re comfortable in Polish (or even in English, since it likely has an interface option), Senuto is relatively easy to navigate for the functions it offers. The layout of results, filters, and charts is clean. However, because it’s specialized, you might need to familiarize yourself with terms like “Współczynnik zależności” (dependency coefficient) or what exactly “Analiza widoczności” entails. The learning curve is moderate – not because the tool is complicated, but because it offers a lot of data, and you’ll want to learn how to interpret it.
  • Ubersuggest: This is arguably the easiest of the bunch. It’s very straightforward: type keyword, get results, click around, done. The interface is uncluttered. Neil Patel’s team clearly aimed it at everyday marketers and site owners, not just data analysts. In terms of immediate usability, Ubersuggest wins for simplicity.

Cost considerations

Budget can be a big factor in choosing SEO tools:

  • SEMrush: It is a premium tool and is priced accordingly. For a single user, plans can be quite expensive per month (often justifiable for agencies or professionals who use it daily, but maybe steep for a small business owner). However, SEMrush often has free trials or free limited accounts where you can do a few searches or get limited results per day. There’s also a free tier with very restricted capabilities. If you’re serious about SEO and can allocate a budget, SEMrush’s rich data can be worth it, especially if you’re targeting multiple countries or need a wide array of features.
  • Senuto: As a specialized tool, Senuto’s pricing is generally tailored to the Polish market. It tends to be more affordable than global tools for comparable functionality, which is great for local businesses and Polish agencies. They might offer different plans based on how many queries or projects you need. The 14-day free trial is a good way to gauge if it’s worth it for you. If Poland is your main focus, investing in Senuto can give you a competitive edge without breaking the bank.
  • Ubersuggest: Famously, Ubersuggest tries to be budget-friendly. There’s a free version that might suffice for small sites or initial research. Their paid version is cheaper than both SEMrush and Senuto, and at one point they even offered lifetime deals. The paid plans unlock unlimited searches, more results per report, and some advanced features, at a cost that’s more in line with a small business budget. It’s a great value starting point. That said, if your needs grow and you require the depth of data that SEMrush or Senuto offers, you might eventually outgrow Ubersuggest.

When to use which tool

  • If you’re just starting out and want to get a feel for keyword research without spending money, start with Ubersuggest. It will give you plenty of ideas and help you learn the basics of SEO metrics. It’s perfect for a single-site owner focusing on content and basic SEO.
  • If your primary target is Poland and you want to leave no stone unturned, Senuto should be in your toolkit. As you develop more content and want to ensure you’re covering topics comprehensively (and keeping an eye on your Polish competition), Senuto provides that depth. It’s almost like having an x-ray of the Polish search market, which is invaluable for serious content strategies and competitive research in Poland.
  • If you are aiming for an international audience in addition to Poland, or you need a complete SEO + digital marketing solution, SEMrush is the way to go. It’s also very handy if you suspect that some of your Polish target keywords might have international overlap or if you’re doing bilingual content (Polish-English). Plus, the additional tools in SEMrush (like technical SEO audits and backlink analysis) are top-notch for optimizing your site beyond keywords.

Many businesses actually use a combination. For example, you might use SEMrush to keep tabs on global trends and for technical SEO, Senuto for deep dives into Polish content planning, and Ubersuggest for quick research and as a double-check or secondary source. Each tool can validate and enrich the findings from the others.

Final Tips for Effective Polish Keyword Research

Mastering these tools is fantastic, but keep in mind some broader best practices as you build your keyword strategy for Poland:

Use multiple sources and think holistically

No single tool will give you every insight. It’s often wise to cross-reference data:

  • If you find a keyword in Ubersuggest that looks promising, check it in SEMrush or Senuto for more details (like trend over time or related terms).
  • Pay attention to Google itself too. The autocomplete suggestions that appear when you start typing in Google.pl, and the “People also ask” questions shown on result pages, are real user queries and can spark ideas that you can then research further with your tools.
  • Consider using Google Trends specifically for Poland to see interest over time for certain popular keywords, especially if your business is seasonal.

Focus on search intent, not just individual keywords

Understanding the intent behind a keyword is crucial. Two different phrases might technically mean the same thing but have different intent. For example, “kupić laptop Poznań” (“buy laptop Poznan”) vs. “najlepszy laptop do gier 2026” (“best gaming laptop 2026”). The first is transactional/local intent (someone ready to buy locally), the second is informational (researching options). When you pick keywords, think about what the user is really looking for. This will guide how you create content:

  • For informational queries, consider writing detailed guides or blog posts.
  • For transactional queries, ensure your product or service pages are optimized and maybe create comparison or “why choose us” content.
  • For question queries, a Q&A format or a tutorial might fit perfectly.

Leverage long-tail opportunities

Polish long-tail keywords (specific, multi-word queries) can be gems. They often have lower competition and cater to searchers who know exactly what they want. Users in Poland, like those anywhere, often type full questions or very particular descriptions into search engines. Rather than only chasing the high-volume generic words (which are dominated by big players), sprinkle in plenty of long-tail phrases in your strategy. The tools we discussed are excellent at uncovering these:

  • Look at the Questions in SEMrush or Senuto.
  • Use filters to find longer phrases (4+ words).
  • Don’t be discouraged if a term shows only 30 or 50 searches a month – if it’s highly relevant to your business, those are 50 potential customers with very specific needs you can meet. Ten such keywords combined can bring you as much traffic as one big keyword, often with less effort.

Stay updated and monitor results

The world of search is dynamic. New keywords emerge as language and trends evolve (just think of how phrases related to “COVID” suddenly appeared and spiked, or how slang enters common usage). Make it a habit to revisit keyword research periodically:

  • Set up alerts or periodic reports. For instance, Senuto’s monitoring can notify you if your visibility drops or rises, which might hint at new keywords you gained or lost.
  • Keep an eye on your website’s analytics to see what Polish search queries are already bringing people to your site (Google Search Console is invaluable here). You might discover queries you weren’t intentionally targeting – if they’re significant, go back to your tools and incorporate those keywords more deliberately in your content.
  • Each quarter or so, do a quick scan with Ubersuggest or SEMrush for new suggestions around your core topics. Seasonality, news, and changes in consumer behavior can all introduce new search terms.

Consider professional help if needed

While the tools above are designed to be user-friendly, getting the most out of them can be time-consuming. If you ever feel overwhelmed by data or unsure about how to implement your findings, it may be worthwhile to consult with or hire an SEO professional. Experts who work with these tools daily can quickly identify the best opportunities and craft a strategy that suits your business. This doesn’t mean you should abandon learning – in fact, collaborating with professionals can also teach you a lot. But handing off the heavy analysis can free up your time to focus on running your business and creating quality content or products.

In conclusion, using SEMrush, Senuto, and Ubersuggest in tandem gives you a powerful arsenal for Polish keyword research. You’ll be covering everything from broad trends to niche queries. Remember that tools provide data, but it’s your insight and understanding of your audience that turn that data into a successful SEO strategy. Take the time to interpret the results, create content that truly answers Polish users’ needs, and keep refining your approach. With these tools at your disposal, you’ll be well on your way to improving your visibility in Poland’s search results and attracting the audience you’re aiming for.
