How to read keyword data ## Volume isn't the metric you think it is. 01 — What "search volume" means ### Average monthly searches in the last 12 months. The volume number is a 12-month average for the location you selected. 14,800 for "dubai real estate" in UAE means roughly that many Google searches per month, on average. Seasonal terms (e.g. "ramadan offers") get smoothed out — check the monthly trend in our paid audits if seasonality matters. 02 — Competition vs difficulty ### "Competition" is for ads. Not SEO. The Competition field shown here (Low / Medium / High) measures how many advertisers are bidding for this keyword in Google Ads — it's a paid-search signal, not an SEO signal. Useful if you're planning Google Ads or Meta. For organic SEO difficulty (how hard it is to rank), you need backlink data — that's a separate tool we'll ship soon. 03 — How to pick keywords ### Three things matter more than volume. - ·Intent. "buy dubai apartment" (transactional) is worth more than "dubai apartment photos" (informational), even at lower volume. - ·Specificity. Long-tail keywords ("3 bedroom apartment for rent in dubai marina") convert ~3× better than head terms ("dubai rent"). - ·CPC as a proxy. If advertisers pay $10/click for a keyword, the lead is worth real money. CPC is usually a better business signal than volume. 04 — Use the related keywords ### The list below your keyword is the gold. When you search "dubai real estate," we also fetch ~30 related terms Google's machinery thinks share intent. Scan that list — it shows you the language your audience actually types, which is rarely the language you'd use in your own marketing copy. Steal phrases, build content around them, name your landing pages with them. Run the check ## Now look it up. Live Google Ads data from any market. Volume, competition, CPC, and ~30 related keywords.
