Hi there,

Is there any way to find out how many people search a particular keyword or phrase per day, per week etc on each of the major search engines?

Thanks in advance!

    Absolutely. Now, you might not actually get the exact number, but you will get a number that is pretty close . There are many websites and companies that provide this service.

    Again, some specific SE's provide free internal tools that might not release the exact number of searches for a terms, but they still provide you with visual indicators that allow you to assess look at search volumes.

    Some services use meta-crawlers data and display the number of times a keyword terms was searched in the meta-crawler which can correlate with the major search engines. They can even include the number of times the term was searched in major SE's.

    Hi Audrey,

    Go to https://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/index.php.

    The site has got good resources and although the search numbers are not exact they are quite good. The site covers the major search engines.

    Good luck

    Keyworddiscovery.com is another tool that will give you the number of searches it believes are being performed each day based on data from various search engines scaled up to reflect their limited market share.

    I have to say, when you look for number of searches, tools like wordtracker, keyworddiscover and seobook's tool can be wildly inaccurate, especially when it comes to the more complex search phrases. Google's external keyword ( https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal ) tool allows you to see the relationship between the search volume on actual keyphrases people have typed into its engine. They don't deliver numbers, but vague percentages, however, it is to date the most accurate tool to understand what keyphrase will be more popular compared to others.

    Very much like wordtracker and the other tools we discussed, it compares the key phrases that you think people are using to actual searches being performed in its search engine. Although any of these tools will serve you well initially, the larger the amount of key phrases you are optimizing for, the more valuable Google's tool becomes. Google's tool is also interesting because it has the largest market share and therefore the most accurate depiction of the key phrases people use and the volume of searches compared to other search phrases. But it doesn't give you a number of searches, just a percentage that allows you to compare relative search volume compared to other keywords and key phrases
