Search volume

DefinitionSearch volume is the estimated average number of times a keyword is searched per month, usually for one country and language.

Volumes are estimates, often rounded or grouped into ranges, and they move with seasons. They measure classic search, not questions people ask AI assistants, so a low-volume keyword can still matter as a buyer prompt.

AI Rank Lab's Keyword research shows volume for the search market (country) you choose; there is no language picker, so runs use English. It can turn question keywords into prompts for brand visibility. See Turn keywords into AI prompts.

• Keyword difficulty: Keyword difficulty is an estimated score, usually 0 to 100, of how hard it would be to rank in the top results for a keyword.
• SERP (search engine results page): A SERP is the page a search engine shows for a query: organic results plus features such as AI Overviews, ads, maps, videos and "People also ask".
• Prompt: In AI Rank Lab, a prompt is a question you track, phrased the way a buyer would ask an AI assistant, such as "best CRM for small agencies".
