## Learn more about keyword search demand

Give your SEO agent an exact phrase set, market and page decision. It can retrieve comparable demand and trend evidence as one step in a wider automated keyword-research workflow.

**How is keyword search volume affected by location and language?**

Volume estimates reflect the selected market, language, period and source methodology. Ask the agent to preserve those settings and avoid comparing figures collected under different assumptions.

**Use demand to answer a page decision**

Explain whether the agent is prioritising pages, testing a niche or estimating seasonality. Include exact phrases and close variants, then require one recommended owner or rejection reason rather than a spreadsheet with no decision.

**Read the trend, not only the average**

Monthly history can reveal seasonality, emerging demand or a declining phrase hidden by an annual average. Ask the agent to flag sparse or volatile data rather than turning it into false precision.

**Example prompt**

This prompt compares a bounded phrase set and turns the result into a decision.

Example prompt to give your agent

`Use Scrollport's Keyword demand research tools to compare these exact phrases in [LOCATION] and [LANGUAGE]: [PHRASES]. The page or product decision is [DECISION]. Return available search demand, paid competition and monthly trend context using the same settings for every phrase. Highlight seasonality, sparse data and close duplicates, recommend one owner or rejection reason for each shared intent, then show me the price before the paid run.`
