Business owners and marketers often need better data to make decisions. This is especially true for marketing strategy and planning. In order to allocate resources for digital marketing campaigns, it is good to gather some initial data first--before making a decision.
By quantifying search volume (search engine queries) for specific keywords and uncovering related keywords, a marketing team can plan better search campaigns that drive interested prospects. Other useful search metrics include the ability to segment and target by geography (country or even city), time period, language, or by industry.
