How can you get accurate search traffic volumes?

[harrygardiner]

I have been trying to get accurate search volumes for the search term "how to dance" in the UK. The results seems to vary wildly. Please could someone tell me how many people actually search for this term each month in the UK on Google (or any other search engine for that matter!)?

Thank you!

1900  monthly for UK

Go to Google Keyword tool:

enter your keyword

change country to from US to UK as US will be selected by default

change the match type from Broad to exact from top right navigation

now you can check the global search volume and local (UK only) search volume.

Though, this is not the exact search volume, in-fact no tool on this planet earth can tell you the exact no, but the no which you would get would be very close to the exact search volume.

The no, which I can see is

1,900 - for desktop and laptop devices480   - All Mobile DevicesSo the total is - ~2380 (approx.)

Hope it answers your query properly.

Thank you, to both of you! Your answers are very useful. However, the one thing I do not fully understand is what the 5 million searches in the broad part means?

Thank you!

Broad refers to the search volume for a non-exact match of your query. Essentially, 5 million people per month search for something with 'dance' in it.

Thanks for that! But how come that is so different to all of the other figures?
