Bulk Search Volume

Bulk Search Volume is useful once you have several possible keywords and want to compare them. It looks up information about the phrases you supply. Unlike Keyword Research, its main purpose is to measure your list rather than suggest a new subject.

Open Keywords and choose Bulk Search Volume. Prepare a short list of phrases that concern the same product or topic. This makes the first set of results easier to understand.

1. Enter one phrase on each line. For example, put “walking boots”, “waterproof walking boots”, and “lightweight walking boots” on three separate lines. You can also use the upload control if you have a suitable file.
2. Select the country and language of your intended audience. Check the number of keywords and the usage estimate before submitting. Larger lists may ask you to confirm that you want to continue.
3. When the results appear, compare related phrases. Use the volume filter to narrow the list, or select a column heading to change the order. The competition filters refer to advertising competition, not a direct measure of how difficult unpaid rankings will be.
4. Select the rows you want to keep and use the page’s export controls if you would like to review them in a spreadsheet. Choose a few promising phrases for a closer look in SERP Analysis.

Suppose two boot phrases have different search volumes. The more popular one refers to all walking boots, while the less popular one specifically concerns waterproof boots for wide feet. If you sell that particular product, the narrower phrase may describe your customers more accurately. Volume helps you judge the size of the opportunity; relevance helps you decide whether it is yours.

Search volume is an estimate of searches, not visitors or sales. CPC is an advertising figure. Neither number is the charge for running this report; the usage estimate and reported search cost describe that charge.

The opportunity score combines volume, advertising competition, and CPC to help order the list. It is a comparison aid, not a prediction that your page will reach a particular position.

Keep each phrase on its own line. If you paste a comma-separated sentence into the main text box, it may be treated as a single keyword.

If a result is blank, the available records may not include that measurement. Check the spelling and selected market before concluding that nobody searches for the phrase.
