Confirm the Demand for Your Content by Using Google Trends

Justin Babcock • Jan 22, 2021

Before you pull out your camera and start filming, you’ll have to do some strategizing. It starts with finding your niche.

This means narrowing down what your video blog will cover based on your brand, audience, and demand.


One way to confirm the demand is using tools like Google Trends to double-check the interest in the type of content you will be producing. This is a useful step to generate blog ideas.

Google Trends is a free tool that gauges a query’s relative popularity, which is a single query’s search volume divided by all possible queries’ search volumes, on a scale of zero to 100 (Google, 2020).


To provide the most accurate relative popularity, Google Trends doesn’t account for repeat searches from the same person over a short period of time. The tool can also show you a query’s search popularity over certain time frames.

Using Google Trends:


Start by visiting: trends.google.com


Next, type in your search words (what do you think your viewers want to hear?).


Review suggestions from Google and decide on a search topic.


You may compare multiple searches to see what is trending best-do this by adding search words to the compare option at the top of the page.


If you would like to get specific you can search by state/country, time frame, category, and type of search. 

The first section will give you interest over time based on the time in which you entered. This will show how your search words are trending over time.

The second section is the interest by metro-this will give you specific states or cities depending on your search. This is color coded and is very specific. Note if you click on a specific area it will give you even more detail of interest by day. 

The third section will give you relates topics and queries. We like to review Rising and Top.


Note: if you click on a specific topic it will give you a breakdown of metro area and interest level by time frame. This may help you understand if this specific topic is trending in your area.

Making the Right Choice: Building a Website Yourself or Hiring a Designer

By Justin Babcock • 12 Jul, 2023
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, establishing an online presence is paramount for every business. A well-structured and designed website can greatly enhance your brand's visibility and credibility. However, the process of creating a website can be daunting, especially when confronted with decisions like the cost of hiring a designer, how to find a suitable one, or opting for a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach using website builders like Wix or Squarespace. Making an informed choice can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Figuring Out Your Budget and Time: The Classic Decision Building a website involves an investment of both time and money. Hiring a designer can cost between $100 to $200 per website page, whereas setting up a website yourself might consume around 4 hours per page. It's a classic time or money conundrum that forces you to reassess your priorities. Do you have the design skills to build a website yourself? If not, using DIY applications may extend the time it takes for you to establish your online presence. However, if your budget is tight, investing your time into learning and implementing the process might be a viable option. DIY Website Builders: A Blessing or a Curse? Website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress have made website creation accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise. But are they always the best choice? Wix Pros: Wix offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and a variety of templates, which make it easy for beginners to create a website. It also provides advanced features for more seasoned users. Cons: The flexibility of Wix can also be its downfall, as the wide range of options can be overwhelming. Its SEO capabilities have been criticized, and the free plan comes with ads. Squarespace Pros: Squarespace is known for its sleek, professional design templates. It offers comprehensive features and excellent customer support. Cons: Squarespace's pricing is slightly higher compared to other builders, and the platform can be less intuitive for first-time users. WordPress Pros: WordPress offers incredible flexibility and control, with thousands of themes and plugins. It's a great choice for blogs due to its strong content management system. Cons: WordPress has a steeper learning curve compared to other builders, and you may need to handle updates and security measures manually.
