Use Google Keyword Planner or Ubersuggest to complete your keyword research. In Step 1 add your keyword and the estimated monthly search traffic this keyword generates.
What are you willing to spend on a Pay-per-Click Campaign (PPC) each month? And then, what is the CPC (cost per click) of the keyword you’re researching? You’ll get this from Google Keyword Planner or any other Keyword Research tool.
The result will give you the possible in-bound website traffic for your budget and the CPC you’ve entered. Play around with your budget, but remember to check the monthly search traffic generated for your specific keyword in Step 1.
