Our analysis of over 60 million keywords reveals that Google groups all search volumes into just 60 predetermined buckets, making search volume data far less precise than most SEO professionals realize. By examining monthly search volumes across all countries, we discovered that keywords need to show dramatic changes (often 20-30%) before moving to a different bucket, explaining why many search volumes appear static for months.
