Description
In most keyword research tools, Average Volume represents the average number of searches for a specific keyword over the last 12 months. It serves as a valuable metric for understanding the consistent popularity and search demand for a particular term.
Why it is important
Average Volume is critical for gauging the potential impact of targeted keywords. This metric provides insights into the average search volume for the keywords a website is optimizing for.
Understanding the search volume helps prioritize keywords with higher potential reach, enabling the optimization of content for terms that align with user search behavior, ultimately driving more organic traffic to the site.

Formula
Sum of Monthly Search Volumes for the Keyword over the Last 12 Months / 12
Calculation example
Suppose a keyword, "Online Courses," has the following monthly search volumes over the last 12 months: 1200, 1300, 1100, 1500, 1400, 1300, 1200, 1100, 1000, 900, 1200, 1100.
Sum of Monthly Search Volumes = 13,500 (1200 + 1300 + 1100 + 1500 + 1400 + 1300 + 1200 + 1100 + 1000 + 900 + 1200 + 1100)
Average Volume = 13,500 / 12 = 1125
Sum of Monthly Search Volumes = 13,500 (1200 + 1300 + 1100 + 1500 + 1400 + 1300 + 1200 + 1100 + 1000 + 900 + 1200 + 1100)
Average Volume = 13,500 / 12 = 1125
