      My boss has asked me to track the number of searches for a keyword (a particular company's name) on a daily basis this week to see how the volume fluctuates from day to day.

      Is this even possible?

      I should note that his request does not involve an active SEO or AdWords campaign. In fact, the company my boss is interested in doesn't even have a website at the moment.

      Thanks in advance – either for helping me confirm that it's impossible to track keyword search volume on a day-to-day basis, or for showing me the magical way to actually do this.

        Thanks, Kyle. I was pretty sure there was no way to do it, but I appreciate your work-around suggestion. My boss wanted to see if searches for a certain company spiked in the days after they issued a press release, but it was for business development purposes (long story) and not an SEO campaogn. I thought this would be a good forum for putting the question out there though, since it theoretically involves the keyword research we all do.

          You can do so in the Google Adwords Keyword Tool, just put the company name in exact search.

          This will give you the monthly search volume averaged over the last 12 months, will take you two minutes and won't cost a cent!

            Hi Matt,

            I'm not aware of any tool or application that can provide overall search volume for a particular term on a daily basis. There are several ways you can half-extrapolate the data. You can find out a keywords share of search volume for a particular week (using a tool like Hitwise, for example) or you can set up an AdWords campaign, bid on the term and work it out from the impressions data provided.

            However, I think you need to rethink why exactly you or your boss wants that data. SEO is a long term strategy. You can't just turn it off at the weekends if there is no search volume. If the aim is a to optimise a PPC campaign, however, you should be able to make use of the data Google provides.

            Thanks,

            K

              Inconsistent Keyword Search Volume & Difficulty Across Tools (e.g., Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, Semrush)

              keyword difficulty keyword explorer

              Hi there, Moz Community! I'm reaching out for some guidance on keyword research discrepancies. I'm currently targeting the keyword "sui gas bill" for my blog, sngplbill, which focuses on information related to Sui gas bills. I've used several keyword research tools, including Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and Semrush, and each platform provides different search volume and keyword difficulty scores: Moz: No search volume data, Keyword Difficulty (KD) 24
              Google Keyword Planner: Search volume 100k-1M, Difficulty (Low)
              Semrush: Search volume 90k, KD 31
              Ahrefs: KD 1 (Very Easy)
              These varying results are causing some confusion. Ideally, I'd like to understand which platform offers the most reliable data for search volume and keyword difficulty. Here are some additional details that might be helpful: My target location: Pakistan My Questions: What factors might contribute to these discrepancies in keyword data across different tools?
              Considering my niche (Sui gas bill information in Pakistan), which platform would you recommend for the most accurate search volume and keyword difficulty estimates?
              Are there any additional factors to consider beyond search volume and keyword difficulty when selecting keywords for content strategy?
              Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

              How granular should I get with Keyword research?

              I'm doing KW research for a new business. My understanding from KW research guides: Use tools to create a list of thousands of keywords Analyze difficulty and search volume Reduce your list and do on page optimization for your select KWs My dilemma with this approach is that it seems "keyword based" rather than "intent" or "category" based. e.g. Let's say I have a grocery store. Ignoring SEO, I know that these are my main categories: Produce Meat Dairy Canned Goods Baked Goods In other words, the above categories are the general "intents" and "categories" that I'd really want to rank for. Keyword tool shows that they have high volume and high difficulty. Let's say that after doing keyword research, I discover "Low Fat Chicken Breasts" and "Turkey Sausage" and "Cheap Meat Wholesale" have decent search volume and low competition. I don't quite understand how I'm supposed to utilize these fringe keywords in my on page SEO plan because it doesn't make sense as a human to categorize my site that way. Not sure if this is clear. Basically I'm trying to figure out if I should really be getting this granular on keywords to help guide my store categories or if I should just be picking broader terms.

              How do I find out what low-volume keywords are best to target?

              Since many of our products and services are purpose-built for a niche community, I find that many of the keywords I am researching are all low-volume. Data on the Keyword Difficulty Tool show '0' under Bing Search Volume (exact match). I know what my competitors are targeting based on their title tags and web content, but I'm not sure if they did their keyword research homework, so I don't want to assume. Is there any other way to determine which keywords I should be targeting?

              Where can I find data on growth in individual keyword search terms, over tiime?

              I am operating in an emerging market, and want to understand the underlying growth in the relevant Google keyword search terms. I can use this as a proxy for market growth. I have checked out Google Trends, but this confusingly shows peak search volumes (out of 100) not search volumes. Are there any better tools out there? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

              Keywords + Country?

              Hey guys, Let's say that I'm doing on-site SEO for a website that sells football shirts. This website targets 5 different countries. We only have a .com domain and no other country specific domains will be added at this point. When I choose the keywords, do I opt for product name + country or only product name? football shirts france or football shirts? Some info: Countries have been added in the title of the pages. Countries appear in the footer. Thank You.

              Bulk keyword competition tool?

              The SEOmoz Keyword Difficulty tool is great, but the 5 keyword limit is too small. I need a tool that will allow checking the organic competition level of 100's of keywords (to help in selecting blog topics). Anyone know of such a tool?
