Keyword Search Volume, CPC & Trends (Google Ads data)

🔎 What is Keyword Search Volume?

Keyword Search Volume gives you Google search volume, CPC, competition and 24 months of monthly searches for up to 10,000 keywords per run, in 45 countries. The numbers come straight from Google Ads Keyword Planner data. You don't need a Google Ads account, an API key or any setup.

Paste your keywords, pick a country, press Start. A few seconds later you have a clean table you can export to Excel, CSV, JSON or Google Sheets, or pull through the API.

$2 per 1,000 keywords. You only pay for keywords that come back.

📊 What data do you get for every keyword?

Field	What it means
🔍 Search volume	Average monthly Google searches
💰 CPC	Average cost per click (USD)
⚔️ Competition	LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH and a 0–100 index
🏷️ Top-of-page bids	Low and high bid advertisers pay for the top of the page
📈 3-month trend	Change of the latest month vs. 3 months earlier, in %
📅 Year-over-year trend	Change vs. the same month last year, in %
🌡️ Peak month	The strongest month of the last 12, for seasonality
🗓️ Monthly searches	Every month for the last 24 months
💡 Source	input (your keyword) or idea (a related keyword found for you)

✨ Why use this Actor?

• No Google Ads account. Keyword Planner hides exact numbers unless you spend money on ads. Here you get exact monthly volumes.
• Bulk. 10,000 keywords in one run instead of copy-pasting 700 at a time into Keyword Planner.
• Trends included. 3-month and year-over-year change, plus the peak month, are calculated for you.
• Keyword ideas. Turn on one switch and get related keywords with their volumes, like Keyword Planner's "Discover new keywords".
• Fair price. $2 per 1,000 keywords, and keywords with no volume can be skipped for free.
• Safe. Your max-charge limit is always respected, and if the data source is down you are not charged.

❓ FAQ

Where does the data come from? From Google Ads Keyword Planner, the same source Google advertisers use.

Why do some keywords show 0 or no volume? Google reports very small or brand-new keywords as zero or unknown. Turn on Skip keywords with no volume and you won't pay for them.

Which countries are supported? 45 countries plus Worldwide: the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India, most of Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

How many keywords can I check? Up to 10,000 per run. Need more? Start several runs, or schedule them.

Why is a keyword missing from my results? Keywords longer than 80 characters or 10 words are skipped, because Google doesn't accept them. Duplicates are merged.
