      I'm trying to find the most accurate tool to identify monthly search volumes.  All the tools offer wildly varying results.  Help 🙂

        I think ahrefs is the best tool available in the market. I have found many useful keywords for best coffee machine 2021 and checked it's difficulty with Moz algorithm (Difficulty should be less than 20) and getting the best results. I hope this will work for you as well.

          Hi there,

          I don't think that there is a single tool which can claim to have the most accurate monthly search volumes, they all tend to use different sources and none of them will be able to replicate exactly what happens on Google.

          Therefore, I think it's important to choose one that you're most comfortable with and use that consistently, then when you use it, don't focus too much on the actual volume of searches and instead focus on the volume of each keyword relative to another. For example, if one keyword has 500 monthly searches, it's unlikely to mean that you will get 500 visits a month if you rank number 1. But if you compare to a keyword where the same tool says that a keyword has 1,000 searches a month, then chances are that this gets more than the first one by a decent amount and could be worth prioritising.

          I tend to use a combination of Moz and Ahrefs for this, along with the Google Keyword Planner.

          Hope that helps!

          Paddy
