What is global search volume?
in
Global search volume refers to the total number of times a specific keyword or phrase is searched worldwide within a given timeframe, typically measured monthly. It represents the aggregate search demand for that keyword on a global scale, offering insights into the popularity and relevance of the keyword across different regions and languages.
Global search volume data is invaluable for SEO tool developers and digital marketing specialists. With this data, you can visually display worldwide search volumes for specific queries and highlight the countries where these queries are most popular. Furthermore, understanding the distribution of global search volume by country allows you to tailor your SEO and content strategies for different markets and identify untapped opportunities in specific regions.
Using the Keywords Data API, you can easily obtain global search volume values for multiple keywords. Our new Global Search Volume endpoint provides global search volume for up to 1,000 keywords in a single request, along with the distribution of search volume by country.
How does the Global Search Volume endpoint work?
To get the global search volume, we first calculate the clickstream search volume of a keyword across all countries. Clickstream search volume is calculated by multiplying the number of clickstream events by special coefficients. The result is an estimated quantity of searches made with a particular keyword during a month in a specific country. Then, we sum up the clickstream search volume values of the keyword in different countries to obtain the global clickstream search volume.
The API response includes:
- Global search volume values for keywords;
- Distribution of search volume by country;
- Percentage of search volume by country relative to the global search volume.
