Use Case

Sort a Keyword List for SEO (Then Remove Duplicates)

Paste keywords from research exports, alphabetise or sort by length, dedupe, and export a clean list for content briefs.

14 August 2026 By Tools.Town Team 5 min read

The problem

Keyword research exports from multiple tools arrive as messy line lists — mixed case, duplicates, no order. Before a content brief, you want a unique, alphabetised list.

Who it’s for

SEO freelancers, content leads, and agencies merging Ahrefs/SEMrush/GSC exports.

Steps

  1. Paste all keywords into Remove Duplicates from List (turn off case-sensitive if needed).
  2. Paste the unique list into Alphabetize List — or use Text Sorter By length to surface short head terms.
  3. Copy into your brief or sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should keywords be lowercased first?

Often yes for dedupe. Paste into the sorter, or lowercase in your sheet first, then use case-insensitive dedupe.
