Fix: Problem Importing CSV Files from Google Keyword Tool into Keyword Database


If you use the Google Keyword Tool in a language interface other than English, the resulting CSV files may not be recognized by  SEO Lab Professional or the free Good Keywords v3. This is because the column headers in the CSV will be in a language the software can’t recognize.

We do support many languages other than English. These include French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, etc. However if the language is not supported, you need to make sure that the Google exported CSV files contain the column headers in English. You can do this by setting the interface to English in the Google keyword tool. This is easy,  just append  ”?hl=en” to the URL. Here is an example for the Hungarian keyword tool.

This will still allow you to set your market region, but will export the CSV with column headings in English.
