What is Search Trend Analysis?

When clicks drop, the first question is whether people stopped searching or whether your rankings slipped. Search Trend Analysis answers it by combining your Search Console numbers for two periods with Keyword Planner volume trends for the same searches.

The result is one table you can sort and filter by clicks lost, position lost, seasonal change and more, replacing a manual spreadsheet of exports and lookups.

Why use Search Trend Analysis

Two periods side by side

Clicks, impressions, CTR and position now and before, with the change calculated.

Demand trend per query

Google search-volume trend next to each query.

Seasonal or real drop

Quick filters separate falling demand from lost rankings.

Position change, not guesswork

Position difference shown so a drop in ranking is obvious.

Built to export

Copy the table or export it for reports.

Frequently asked questions about Search Trend Analysis

Why did my organic traffic drop?

The usual causes are lower demand (seasonality or a changing market), lost rankings (competitors, algorithm updates, site problems) or lower click-through rates. Comparing periods and demand trends separates them.

How does the tool tell seasonality from a real drop?

It shows Google's search-volume trend for each query next to your own click and position change. If volume fell by a similar amount, it is likely seasonal; if volume held and your position fell, you lost ground.

Which data does it use?

Your Search Console query data for two periods, and Google Keyword Planner volume trends for the busiest queries.

How many queries can it handle?

It loads up to tens of thousands of queries per period and looks up volumes for the busiest ones, so the table stays fast.

Is Search Trend Analysis free?

You can start for free. Plans set how many keyword lookups the volume trends can use.
