What Is Keyword Search Volume?
Keyword search volume is the average number of monthly Google searches a keyword gets in a specific location. Based on data from the past 12 months.
For example, there are around 673K searches for “iphone” in the U.S. each month.
Checking search volumes is a key part of search engine optimization (SEO). Because it helps you identify popular search terms—and optimize your website accordingly.
