What is Keyword Popularity?
Keyword popularity provides insights into a keyword's current interest and trending status. It shows how often a topic is searched for or discussed within a specific timeframe. For example, keywords related to significant events like the World Cup surge in popularity during the event. However, popularity is transient, fluctuating with public interest and seasonal trends.
