Keyword Lists

Last updated 19 October 2026

Keyword Lists let you collect the keywords and questions you care about from any search, in one place, and share them with anyone. Think of them as a shopping basket for keyword research: you browse results, drop the good ones into a list, and hand the list to a writer or client when you are done.

On the Data tab of any result:

  • Click the + next to a single keyword to add it to your default list. The icon turns into a tick and a small "Saved to {list}" message confirms it.
  • Click Add to keyword list to open the list menu. From there you can pick any list to add to, Create New List by typing a name and clicking the tick, or Save All to add every keyword in the result to your default list in one go.

Every account starts with a list called Draft, which is the default list until you choose another one. The Draft list cannot be deleted.

Managing your lists

The Keyword Lists page
The Keyword Lists page

Open Keywords › Lists in the sidebar. The page shows every list with its keyword count, and a line at the bottom showing how many of your plan's lists you have used.

  • Create new list adds an empty list. Type a name and click the tick.
  • Set as default on a list makes it the target for the + buttons in search results.
  • The icons under Actions let you download the list as CSV, share it, or delete it.
  • Use the search box to filter lists by name.

Inside a list

Click a list name to open it. From the list page you can:

  • Add keyword… at the bottom of the table to type in keywords of your own that did not come from a search.
  • Edit or delete individual keywords with the icons on each row.
  • Cluster Keywords to send the whole list to Keyword Clustering. You will be asked which country to cluster for.
  • Download CSV to export the list.
  • Share to turn on a public link, explained below.

Sharing a list

Lists are private by default. Click Share on a list and turn on Enable shared link. The page shows a link in the form https://keywordspeopleuse.com/share/{id} with a copy button. Anyone with that link can view the list, even without a KeywordsPeopleUse account. Turn the toggle off at any time to make the list private again; the link then shows "List Not Found".

Limits

Plan Lists Keywords per list
Lite 20 500
Standard, Pro, Unlimited 50 500

If you hit the limit you will see "Max lists number reached" or "Max number of keywords allowed: 500". Delete a list or split your keywords across lists to continue.
