One useful outcome.

Helps content teams compare possible search topics and organize the available evidence for planning.

  1. Choose a focused list of search phrases

    Select phrases that relate to the audience, subject, and market the team is researching.

  2. Gather estimated search activity

    Collect the available monthly volume and competition indicators for each phrase, noting when a result is missing.

  3. Review recent search history

    Show available month-by-month changes so a researcher can notice seasonal patterns and recent shifts.

  4. Compare opportunities in context

    Organize phrases by the measures the team selected without treating a single estimate as a complete ranking.

  5. Prioritize topics with an editor

    Have a content owner consider audience fit, current coverage, and business goals before choosing a topic or campaign.

Keep in mind

Search estimates are directional and can vary by location, date, and source. Check the target audience and market, compare the measures with your own experience, and do not treat an estimate as a promise of traffic or campaign results.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the market and research purpose

Set the intended audience, location, language, and content decision the comparison should support.

Prepare the keyword shortlist

Choose up to 20 relevant phrases and agree how duplicates, misspellings, or closely related ideas are handled.

Select a review destination

Choose where researchers can compare estimates, source dates, missing results, and their final priorities.

Test seasonal and low-volume phrases

Check phrases with strong seasonality, little search activity, and incomplete history to make uncertainty easy to see.
