Google Trends:
How to Use It
Instead of measuring keyword search
volume, Google Trends measures keyword popularity.
Google explains it as follows:
"To assess relative popularity, each data point is divided by total
searches for the location and time range it covers."
Enter a keyword into the search bar
or pick one of the suggested examples to launch Google Trends.
You can scroll down to see a summary
of the most popular trends in your nation.
When using the search bar, just type
the term you want information about and press enter. To begin, let's look for
"ps5:"
Click the "+ Compare"
button next to the primary search term to compare two results. If you compare
search phrases like "ps5" to "xbox X," the data looks like
this:

sub-region, scroll down:
A breakdown of each term's use in
each state is available.
Google Trends: Ways to Use It to Boost Content Strategy
Although Google Trends is a fairly
straightforward tool, there are various ways to incorporate it into your
overall content strategy.
Here are the
ways that you may improve and supplement your current content strategy by using
Google Trends:
Current Trending Topics Search
Discovering hot themes can help you
organise your writing, choose interesting viewpoints, and even merely maintain
your brand's relevance.
To see "Recent Trending"
subjects from throughout the world, scroll down the Google Trends home page.
Would you like us to write a blog
article about the upcoming live-action Barbie film? No, that would not be
significant down the road.
But will a funny meme on this hot
topic go over well on social media? We think so.
Recognize
seasonal trends
A tendency that recurs frequently,
typically around a particular holiday, is referred to as a seasonal trend.
You can discover when to start
marketing your upcoming major vacation by looking at the themes that are now
popular on Google Trends.
Consider that you run a flower
business. Around Mother's Day and Valentine's Day, it's likely that sales and
searches will regularly increase.
Enter a keyword and press enter to
begin. After that, modify the date range using the dropdown option. The default
is seven days, but you can select from 2004 to the most recent hour.
In order to obtain precise information
on seasonal trends, it is best to look back at least a few years.
Around February 7–13, "Flowers
for Valentine's Day" begins to receive traffic. You can utilise that
information to schedule the launch of your marketing efforts.
You can look into trends that are
more difficult to foresee.
Say you provide content for a
provider of insurance. Once you have a general understanding of when hurricane
season begins, you can plan your content and marketing efforts accordingly.
You may determine whether a hot item
is merely a fad or a seasonal trend by looking back a few years. If a keyword's
traffic grows around the same time every year, that indicates a tendency.
If not, it's most likely a trend.
For instance, consider the Ice Cube
Challenge. It saw very little traffic before August 2014 and after that month.
Fads pass rapidly, so investing time
or money in long-term content or marketing strategies may not be the best use
of both.
Plan Google
Shopping Ads Seasonally
When scheduling your Google Shopping
advertising, you may also use data from Google Trends.
Enter a keyword and choose between
"Web Search" and "Google Shopping" to get started. Our
keyword was "wedding guest outfits."
See the
outcomes to determine when interest rises:
Interest in "wedding guest
dresses" has increased over time.
Autumn and winter see a decline in
interest whereas spring and summer see an uptick.
Running Shopping advertising in
January and February can provide you an advantage as that is when things start
to pick up again. Additionally, it would be a good idea to run advertisements
in the spring and summer.
Improve your
local SEO tactics
You can use Google Trends to view
the most popular keywords globally or by country, sub-region, metropolitan
area, or city.
- Let's utilise a simple illustration, like surfboards. Landlocked areas of the United States have lower rates of those looking to purchase one.
We can observe that people in
California and Hawaii are significantly more interested in surfboards than
people in the other states when we alternate by sub-region.
- Let's expand our search to include solely Hawaii to get even more information. Now we can see that interest in surfboards is consistent year-round.
The results displayed by the other
widgets are also based solely on searches conducted in Hawaii.
Even if you already know where the
majority of your consumers reside, you can still utilise a local rank tracker
to fine-tune your local SEO approach by digging deeper into their search
histories to identify relevant search phrases and topics that they are
interested in.
Research local
keyword opportunities
If you're a small business owner,
you probably care more about local trends than those on a national or
international scale.
To create content that truly matters
to your audience, look at local trends.
Imagine you are the owner of a car
dealership in Chicago, Illinois. You can choose your city when conducting a
search for "honda dealer."
Scroll down for related questions
and topics, which now include Chicago.
You can see search phrases for
particular dealers and different automobile brands only from the example above.
Examine them to find possible rivals and even to create content.
It would be a good idea to write
comparative blog pieces regarding Kia, Toyota, Hyundai, and Ford vehicles and
their Honda equivalents based on the related searches.
Tracking your
rivals
To compare your brand to the competition,
return to Google's trend comparison tool.
It is evident that the market has
remained constant over the past five years, with Netflix comfortably holding
the top spot;
We can also notice that many of the
traffic peaks for both brands occur at the same time (probably due to new
releases or news from either brand).
Let's compare HBO Max and Hulu to
see which one exhibits a little more volatility.
In May 2020, HBO Max, a more recent
streaming service, made its debut. It might experience a slight increase in
traffic as early as 2019, which is probably when the rumours started before the
announcement.
Then, after its launch, HBO Max
experienced a significant rise and at times even outperformed Hulu.
In order to duplicate their success
or modify your marketing plan appropriately, if you worked for one of these
businesses, you could want to look at the shows that your rival released during
their traffic peaks.
Using a market research tool like
Market Explorer is one method to keep an eye on the trends of your competition.
You can compare the tendencies of your business to those of your rivals.
- Here, Netflix is the focus, with Hulu and HBO Max serving as the major rivals.
On the primary page that opens after
clicking "Create and Analyze," there is a widget for Trending
Keywords.
Hover your cursor over various
keywords to observe their volume growth and the websites where they are
trending.
You may discover which keywords were
popular during the previous month by switching to "Top Keywords";
You can have a better understanding
of what works for your competitors and what might work for you too by examining
the trends on their websites.
There are a lot of popular comedic
movies and television shows in the image above (and even general categories
like "comedy movies" and "funny movies").
