    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

            Minor languages keyword research

            Hello, I am in charge of doing a keyword research for several small countries in Europe, namely Hungary, Estonia and Latvia.
            I normally use the Keyword planner for Google Ads, but for Hungarian, Estonian and Latvian this tools seems to find no results for the keywords related to my websites. For example, in Hungarian the keyword "ajak toltoanyagok" ("lip fillers" in English) doesn't give any results (and yes, I am targeting my searches to Hungary and Hungarian). I have the same problems with Latvian and Estonian. Is there another tool that I could use and that could give me better results? Help! Cheers Luca rONwtZt

            Ignore keywords that have no data in the Google Keyword Tool?

            Hello, There are some keywords that have no monthly search data in the Google Keyword Tool. In many cases, this is because there have been very few searches for the keyword. Would you recommend focusing on other keywords that do have search data in the Google Keyword Tool? Perhaps focusing too far out on the long tail of search results can be less productive than focusing on keywords that have proven that at least some people care about them. What do you think? Thanks!

            Google Keyword Tool: What is considered a unique keyword?

            I'm trying to research keywords using Google's Keyword Tool.  After looking at results, I have the following questions: 1.  Does singular/plurals of a word count as two different keywords to Google (ie: photobooth and photobooths)?  Would I need to have a unique page targeting each word or will one page on my site be sufficient for targeting both? 2. I've noticed that different variations of keywords have the same global monthly search results.  This leads me to believe that Google see's all of them as one keyword.  ie: "photo booth props" and "props for a photo booth" and "props with photo booth", all have 22,200 search global monthly search resluts.  On the other hand "moustache prop" and "prop moustache" have different global monthly search results (480 and 590).  Can anyone explain this?

            Help finding some decent keywords

            Anyone care to help a SEO Newbie find a couple of key words that would be easier to rank for for my website that provides kayak fishing information? mysite: yakangler.com The key words that I've identified are as follows: best kayak   
            fishing from a kayak
            fishing kayak review
            fishing kayaks   
            kayak and fishing
            kayak fishing   
            kayak for fishing   
            kayak reviews   
            kayak rigging
            kayak weight limit   
            kayaks fishing   
            kayaks for fishing But I'm worried I'm missing the point, I don't see hardly any traffic from most of these. I've really tried to rank for "kayak fishing" but seem to be totally lost in the Google Panda abyss. Any advice on a different word or strategy would be greatly appreciated!

            Search Volume vs. CTR

            Is it better to optimize based on search volume or click through rate? For example: If a keyword has a CTR of 19% and only 3,000 monthly searches, while another keyword that is relevant to that page has a CTR of 0.7% and 20,000 monthly searches, which keyword should that page be optimized for for better natural results and the bottom line?
