Trend Checker

Before you spend a weekend on a video, it helps to know whether people are searching for the topic more or less than a few months ago. Kabo pulls 12 months of Google Trends data for YouTube search or Google web search and turns it into a direct answer.

• Direction Rising, steady or declining, based on average interest in the last 13 weeks compared with the 13 weeks before.
• The 12-month curve Weekly interest from 0 to 100, relative to the peak in the period.
• Peak week When interest was highest — useful for seasonal topics you can plan ahead for.
• Rising and top related searches The related searches growing fastest, and the most common ones overall.

Pick the place your viewers search.

YouTube search interest often differs from Google web search: tutorials and reviews lean YouTube, quick facts lean Google.

For video topics, start with YouTube search. If the YouTube curve is flat, check Web as well: a topic rising on Google can still be early on YouTube.

Rising related searches show how people phrase their interest right now. Turn one of them into a title that uses the same words. For seasonal topics, publish a few weeks before the peak week so the video has time to be found.

Google Trends scores are relative, not search volumes, so a "rising" niche topic can still be small. Very new or narrow topics may not have enough data; try a broader phrase. Region matters too — pick the country where most of your audience lives.
