1. Keyword tracking

Keywords are a fundamental element of every positioning strategy for Google websites and business cards, i.e. SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Tracking popular keywords in your industry will help you understand what questions and queries users are most likely to search for related to your product or service. Keyword analysis tools such as Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, and Ahrefs can provide valuable data on the popularity and competitiveness of specific keywords.

2. Monitor search trends

A variety of online tools, such as Google Trends, offer dashboards and plug-ins to monitor search trends in real time. You can track which topics are currently the most popular among users, how interest in specific phrases changes over time, and what are the seasons of increased interest in specific products or services. Analyzing search trends will help you better understand user needs and preferences, which will enable you to adapt your marketing strategy to current trends.

In addition to analyzing trends on the Internet, it is also worth tracking trends within your website, for example using the Google Search Console tool and analyzing for which phrases your website is displayed in search engines and what positions your website currently occupies for these phrases. I recommend paying special attention to phrases in which your position in the search engine ranks between 5 and 10 and introducing actions that will improve these positions, if these phrases are actually related to your business.

3. Observation of the competition

Analyzing your competitors’ activities can provide valuable insights into effective marketing strategies and trends in your industry. Observe what keywords your competitors are using, what types of content are being published on their websites, and how they are ranking in search engines. Competitive analysis can help you identify gaps in the market and better adapt your marketing strategy to current trends and user needs. There are tools available online that make this possible and, interestingly, this results, among other things, from the legal provisions in force in the European Union. An example of such a tool is Similarweb.

4. Testing and optimization

Analyzing search trends means not only tracking current data, but also continuous testing and optimization of your marketing activities. Test different keyword strategies, content and ad formats, monitor their performance and adjust your strategy based on the results. Remember that search trends can change, so it is important to constantly adapt to the changing needs and preferences of users.

5. Summary

Analyzing search trends is a key element of an effective online marketing strategy. Keyword tracking, monitoring search trends, observing competitor activity, and continuous testing and optimization are essential steps in analyzing and leveraging search trends for the benefit of your business. Thanks to proper analysis and adaptation to current trends, you will be able to effectively reach your target group of customers and achieve success in online marketing.

Also remember that even the best analysis will be of little use if your website is not well designed for positioning in search engines. I write more about it HERE.
