Keyword Volume Checker
Search volume, competition, CPC and intent type for any keyword, across 240+ countries. Bulk check up to 100 keywords at once.
See real keyword volumes, including the data Ahrefs hides on the free tier
Most free volume checkers either give you absolute zeroes or rounded buckets like "1K-10K", useless for prioritisation. This tool returns actual monthly volume, year-over-year trend, competition score (0-100), CPC for paid context, and the most likely search intent (informational, commercial, navigational, transactional).
Bulk mode lets you paste up to 100 keywords at once, get a CSV-ready table, and sort by any column. Ideal for the keyword research phase of a content strategy.
Why "high volume" keywords are usually a trap
Keyword volume is the most over-weighted metric in SEO. Three things matter more:
1. Intent match
A 100-volume keyword with perfect commercial intent (e.g. "best CRM for solo consultants") will outconvert a 10,000-volume informational keyword (e.g. "what is CRM"). Always look at intent before volume.
2. Difficulty vs your site authority
A 50-volume keyword you can rank #1 for in 60 days outperforms a 5,000-volume keyword you might rank #15 for in 18 months. Check competition score against your domain authority.
3. Cluster volume, not single-keyword volume
A topic with 50 supporting keywords each at 100 monthly searches has 5,000 cluster volume, usually more rankable and more valuable than one 5,000-volume head term. Optimise for the cluster.
