Answer the questions behind your next opportunity

Trends Monitor brings keyword roots, related queries and saved collections together so you can identify which changes deserve your attention.

How do I discover new keyword ideas?

Start with a familiar industry term. Explore rising related queries for new phrases, use cases and questions, then query and monitor the relevant ones individually.

Which related searches are growing?

Use rising queries and interest over time to shortlist ideas. Growth indicates a change in attention; it does not establish market size.

Is the trend relevant to my market?

Query the same term for your target country or region to inspect its pattern and related demand. Separately normalized scores cannot rank markets by search volume.

How do I turn a trend into content?

Identify how-to, comparison, alternative or buying intent in related queries. Review search results to decide whether to create an article, a landing page or do more research.

Can I follow a keyword without checking daily?

Save the complete query and enable daily monitoring. Return to your keyword list to review collections and reopen individual trend snapshots.

Learn to distinguish growth, seasonality and short-lived spikes

Follow practical research steps, understand the data and choose tools that fit the question.

Understand the pattern behind a spike

Research a rising trend with Trends Monitor

Review the longer pattern in your target market before focusing on recent changes. Recurring peaks suggest seasonality; a one-off event needs follow-up. Look for supporting related queries and evidence of demand.

  • Review 12 months or 5 years for recurring peaks
  • Separate relative interest, growth and search volume
  • Check intent, event context and business relevance

Plans and usage

Trends Monitor Plans & Pricing

Each monitoring run costs 1 credit, including the trend chart and selected related queries. Subscribe monthly or buy credits as needed.

Monthly credits last 90 days; one-time packs never expire. Each account can save up to 100 roots. Buying credits does not raise this limit.

How credits are charged

Monitoring / queued query

1 credits / collection

Fast query · trend chart

5 credits / collection

Fast query · chart and related queries

10 credits / collection

One collection covers up to 5 keywords, including the comparison term, with one set of region, time range and related-query settings. The group is billed once. Comparisons use queued queries; related searches require a single keyword. Monitors run every 24 hours; different settings are charged separately.

Credits are reserved first and settled after success. A fast query that falls back to the queue costs 1 credit; unused credits are returned. Failed tasks are refunded. Favorites, history and reusing our one-hour cache are free. Low-balance monitors skip that run and check again next cycle.

For example, collecting 40 roots daily for 30 days uses 1,200 credits, matching the $10 monthly plan. All usage shares one balance; 1,200 collections does not mean you can save 1,200 roots.
