What tools can show me seasonal peaks in search volume?

HI,

I am wanting to see when search volume "peaks" for specific keywords. Is there a good way to view search volume over an historical timeline? See the best month, weeks?

Thanks!

Kevin

You may also want to try Google Trends. This will give you a much larger view if you are looking for trends over a couple of years in order to identify patterns over months.

Hi Kevin

The Keyword Planner does a pretty good job of this now.  If you select any of the options and type in your keyword, you'll get the search volume.

Next to the "Avg. monthly search volume" there's a little graph icon.  Hover over that and you'll get the last 12 months and the average search data for that month.  There you should be able to see any peaks or troughs.

Hope this helps!
