Femtech is one of the fastest-growing sectors in healthcare, yet it's also one of the most underserved in search visibility. The uncomfortable reality? Most femtech companies compete for the same obvious, high-competition keywords while ignoring thousands of long-tail queries their target audience is actively searching.
Women search differently than traditional medical keyword research assumes. They use euphemisms, seek community validation, and phrase health questions conversationally. Traditional keyword tools miss these nuances—but AI-powered platforms are changing the game.
Here are four lesser-known AI keyword research tools specifically valuable for femtech websites targeting women's health, fertility, pregnancy, menopause, and sexual wellness markets.
What Makes It Special: AlsoAsked visualizes Google's "People Also Ask" data as interconnected question maps, revealing how women actually frame health questions and the semantic relationships between topics.
Why It's Perfect for Femtech: Women's health searches are deeply question-oriented. Instead of searching "endometriosis treatment," users ask "why do I have painful periods every month?" or "can endometriosis affect my fertility?" AlsoAsked surfaces these exact conversational queries.
How to Use It for Femtech:
Start with a seed term like "fertility tracking" or "perimenopause symptoms." AlsoAsked generates a visual map showing related questions:
First-level questions:
Second-level branches reveal deeper concerns:
This semantic mapping reveals content gaps competitors miss. Most menopause websites optimize for "perimenopause symptoms" but ignore specific questions about weight gain, vitamin supplementation, or fertility concerns during this stage.
Real Application: A menopause support app uses AlsoAsked to discover that "perimenopause anxiety at night" is a highly-searched but under-addressed query. They create comprehensive content addressing nighttime anxiety, sleep disruption, and hormone fluctuations—ranking #1 within six weeks and driving 2,400 monthly organic visitors.
Pricing: Free tier with limited searches; Pro plans start at $15/month for 100 searches.
Best For: Content strategists building topic clusters, identifying FAQ opportunities, and discovering conversational long-tail keywords.
What Makes It Special: AnswerThePublic aggregates autocomplete data from Google and Bing, organizing results into visual question wheels categorized by question type: what, why, how, when, where, can, will, are.
Why It's Perfect for Femtech: Women's health searches cluster around specific question types. Understanding how women ask questions helps you structure content that matches search intent and conversational queries increasingly prioritized by AI search.
How to Use It for Femtech:
Search "PCOS" (polycystic ovary syndrome) and AnswerThePublic reveals:
"Can" questions (concern and possibility):
"How" questions (actionable guidance):
"Why" questions (understanding and context):
"Are" questions (validation and community):
Each question type suggests different content formats: "Can" questions work well for quick-answer blog posts; "How" questions demand comprehensive guides; "Why" questions suit educational long-form content.
Real Application: A PCOS management platform identifies that "how to lose weight with PCOS" has high search volume but existing content focuses on medication. They create content specifically addressing natural weight management strategies—diet, exercise, supplements, stress management—for women wanting non-pharmaceutical approaches. Within 90 days, this single article drives 8,700 monthly visitors and generates 340 email signups.
Pricing: Free tier with limited searches per day; Pro plans start at $99/month.
Best For: Blog content planning, identifying FAQ schema opportunities, understanding question-based search intent.
What Makes It Special: Glimpse identifies rapidly growing search trends before they become mainstream, using AI to analyze Google Trends data and predict which emerging keywords will gain traction.
Why It's Perfect for Femtech: Women's health awareness evolves quickly. Conditions previously dismissed or undiagnosed suddenly gain visibility through social media and advocacy. Glimpse helps femtech companies create content for emerging terms before competition arrives.
How to Use It for Femtech:
Glimpse's AI recently identified these emerging femtech-related trends:
"Cycle syncing" (aligning activities with menstrual cycle phases):
"PMDD awareness" (premenstrual dysphoric disorder):
"Fertility nutrition" (nutrition for conception):
"Perimenopause fitness":
Real Application: A fertility app's content team uses Glimpse to identify "seed cycling for fertility" as an emerging trend (189% growth, low competition). They create content explaining seed cycling (consuming specific seeds during menstrual phases to support hormone balance), integrate tracking features into their app, and partner with seed subscription services. Within six months, this content drives 12,400 monthly visitors and becomes their top conversion pathway from free to paid users.
Pricing: Free tier with limited trend tracking; Pro plans start at $24/month.
Best For: Forward-thinking content strategists, product teams identifying feature opportunities, marketers wanting first-mover advantage on emerging topics.
What Makes It Special: Large language models understand semantic relationships and can generate extensive keyword variations based on natural language prompts—particularly valuable for sensitive health topics where women use euphemisms and indirect language.
Why It's Perfect for Femtech: Women often search using indirect language for sensitive topics: "why does it hurt down there" instead of clinical terms. AI models trained on conversational data understand these patterns and generate keyword variations traditional tools miss.
How to Use It for Femtech:
Prompt example: "Generate 50 ways women might search for information about painful intercourse, including clinical terms, euphemisms, and conversational phrases. Consider different age groups, education levels, and cultural backgrounds."
ChatGPT/Claude returns:
These variations reveal how different demographics phrase identical concerns—critical for comprehensive content that matches all search behaviors.
Advanced Technique:
Prompt for question expansion: "Generate 30 questions about endometriosis that women in their 20s-30s trying to conceive would ask. Include questions they might feel embarrassed to ask their doctor."
This surfaces deeply personal queries traditional keyword tools never capture:
Real Application: A sexual wellness platform uses Claude to generate 200+ keyword variations around "vaginal dryness." They discover that younger women search "why am I dry down there" while older women search "vaginal dryness after menopause." This insight drives age-segmented content strategies that triple organic traffic within five months.
Pricing: ChatGPT Plus: $20/month; Claude Pro: $20/month.
Best For: Generating comprehensive keyword lists quickly, identifying euphemisms and conversational phrases, understanding demographic-specific search language.
These tools share a common strength: they reveal how women actually search rather than forcing clinical terminology that doesn't match real-world language patterns.
Traditional keyword research prioritizes search volume and competition metrics. These AI-powered tools prioritize semantic understanding, question-based intent, emerging trends, and conversational language—exactly what femtech content strategies need.
The companies winning organic visibility in femtech right now aren't competing for "fertility tracking app" (impossibly competitive). They're capturing thousands of long-tail variations: "how accurate is basal body temperature for ovulation," "can I get pregnant two days after my period ends," "best time to take ovulation test if cycles are irregular."
Collectively, these long-tail queries drive more qualified traffic, convert better, and face dramatically less competition than obvious head terms.
