Explore patterns in search interest to inform topic research.

What to know

Google Trends lets you explore search interest and trending topics. It is useful for investigating timing and comparing the direction of interest across terms or topics.

A practical starting point

Compare closely related subjects using the same region and time period. Use the findings to ask better editorial questions, then check them against customer needs.

Keep in mind

Interest data is not a forecast of leads. Record the settings used in a comparison so later reviews are meaningful.
