How to use

In the Main Menu, select "Keyword Research" and then "Compare Keywords."

Type up to 4 keywords into the 4 fields in the blue bar below and click the orange "Compare" button. Enter one keyword per field.

Search Trend

These interactive graphs display each keyword’s changes in popularity over the past 15 months. From this data, you can get a sense of a keyword’s seasonality and whether it is becoming more or less popular.

Google Searches

The estimated number of searches performed on Google each month for each keyword. Google search data is also useful for your website and helps you understand broader user interest levels, keywords, and products.

Google Competition

Indicates the level of advertisers that are competing on Google for each keyword. The competition score ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 being no competition and 1 being high. High competition is a good indicator of purchase intent.

Long Tail Keywords

Long tail keywords are keywords or key phrases that are more specific than more commonly searched-for keywords. Long tail keywords get less search traffic, but will usually have a higher conversion value.
