help
keywords: Google's monthly searches for a phrase, as a table. USAGE keywords volume TERM [TERM…] [--geo us] [--language en] [--file F] [--json | --tsv] keywords ideas SEED [SEED…] [--limit 200] [--geo us] [--language en] [--json | --tsv] Quote a term of several words; a comma also separates terms. --file reads more terms from a file, one a line. VOLUME Each term's average monthly searches on Google, from Google Ads, with the cost of a click in US dollars and how many advertisers bid on it (LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH, and an index from 0 to 100). Up to 1,000 terms a call: ask for the whole list at once. IDEAS The phrases Google Ads offers for 1 to 20 seeds, busiest first, with the same columns. --limit is 1 to 1,000 (default 200). This is where the way people actually word a question is found. A COUNT, NOT A SCALE Unlike `trends`, these are counts, so two answers can be set side by side. Google rounds them into its own steps (9,900, 12,100). `-` in the volume column is a phrase searched too little to count, which is an answer. OUTPUT A table by default. --json prints the answer whole, with each term's month-by-month counts; --tsv prints tab-separated rows with a header. WHERE --geo is an ISO country code (default us); --language an ISO language code (default en). COSTS Billed per call as keywords_volume or keywords_ideas, however many terms.
