Seven ways to find out the number of requests on Google

Google search statistics are available in search engine tools and off-site services. With their help, you can collect or expand the semantic kernel, analyze the popularity of key phrases in a particular region, and create an effective advertising campaign taking into account the cost per click.

How to find out the request frequency on Google

Using Google tools, you can:

  • build a semantic kernel from square one;
  • expand your existing keyword base;
  • analyze requests on competitors' websites;
  • look at the popularity dynamics of a particular request in a certain period of time;
  • find out how effective your keywords and phrases are.

Google keyword statistics are available in three search engine services: Adwords, Trends, and Analytics. To use them, you will need an active registered Google account.

Google Adwords request statistics

To start working with key requests, you need to register an advertising campaign in Google Adwords. This process goes through several stages. After entering your data, you need to write the advertisement name, its sample text, indicate information about the company.

You don't need to run and pay for advertising; you can use the Keyword Planner on a free basis. However, the service shows inaccurate data for an unpaid campaign.

To start the planner, go to Google Ads and find the appropriate section in the tools.
