Methodology

How to use search demand data in PPC planning

01

Indexed, not absolute

100 marks the strongest week for a series inside the window you have chosen. The shape of the line carries the signal, not its height.

02

Seasonality repeats

Recurring peaks show when demand arrives each year. Set paid search budgets ahead of the curve; by the time the peak shows in sales, CPCs in the auction are already rising.

03

Compare like with like

Series are only comparable within the same region and timeframe. Switch regions to see how the same category behaves in different markets.
