Keyword Tool for Canada

I'm looking for a keyword tool which only analyzes Canadian searches.

Can i isolate 1 market?

eg. how many search are performed for technology in Canada per year?

 

let me know if you find one, but i don't think its out there.

 

If 'ca' is the notation for Canada (sorry, showing my ignorance there), then try this one from Overture for size:

(although it's only good on a month by month basis)

 

i hate overture! i am from canada myself, with canadian clients. these tools would realy help

 

You can try the Adwords tool. Just switch your results to English >> Canada

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

 

I occasionally use http://ca.buzz.yahoo.com/ plus the tools already mentioned

 

Overture is way to go. Not sure if link above is correct one but looks like it. You can also try Uk search terms they seem to be close.

 

I get mainly Australian results when I use that Overture link.

 

So do Australian get Canadian results when they use overture

back to thread as my target market is USA I use overture but I have a theory
...find the amount of monthly searches done by American Plus find the monthly searches done by Canadians then figure out percentage .. lets say 10 percent or American do 10 times more monthly searches than Canadian
so any search number by Overture divide by that percentage...(100 searches for a "keyword" equals 10 (Canadian) searches for same keyword)
I realize I make this theory sound simple..there more work involved but anyway
I just figure that since USA is approximately ten times bigger (population wise) than Canada...there would be ten times more searches for any word..

 

There are cultural differences for various topics. For some topics Canadians (or any nation for that matter) may use different key phrases when searching. And some topics have unique relevance to a nation that have little relevance in another.

So using a broad number like 10% to make these judgments will not apply in all situations. But when its all you've got to go with.....

 

Never thought of that..cultural differences can be little spelling "colour" instead of "color" "favourite" instead of "favorite"
I have been thinking about this posting alot and doing a little more research with some of the tools that I use and did find that you can http://www.google.com/trends type in keyword in brackets click on "Search trends" then scroll till you see "regions" click on that then you will see a graph with the highest (region) searches for that keyword(s)..not guaranteeing that you will find "Canada" for your keyword but it is worth a look!

Of course you can end any "sentence" search with Eh lol
Wonder if schmeetz is still reading his thread?

 

It's not just spelling differences but topics themselves. Do you think there are 10 times more Americans searching for "hockey sticks"? Not a chance.

I use Google trends often. The city and regional data is pretty cool and it is sometimes very useful. Particularly with 2 and 3 word phrases. For any given topic there may be multiple similar phrases to describe the topic. I sometimes find the regional data is different for the different semantic phrases. As in Americans may tend to use phrase 1 and Canadians and Brits use phrase 2 more often. And in some cases Americans are not even on the map, and vice versa, depending on the topic.

 

I can't remember what term i was searching when i was getting Aussie results? Just tried it again for something else and am getting Canadian results.

So the Overture tool is useful though very limited.

 

Would have never thought of things like hockey sticks or even Canadian politicians etc because basically I don't search for those words or there not my keywords but someone else will..depends on the user but still a valid point..

 

Yeah, I don't search for hockey sticks either, or have sites relevant to them. Just using an extreme example to make the point.

According to Google trends there are about 2.5 times as many searches for hockey sticks in Canada than in the US. But New Zealand is almost on par with Canada?? What are 4 million New Zealander's doing with all those hockey sticks? Herding the sheep? lol

 

lol
I did notice that a lot of my keywords are high ranked in New Zealand..and I am getting traffic from the "little country downunder" go figure...wonder if it is the same with them regarding Canada!

 

If someone does find a Canada only tool please post here as it would be very valuable to us Canadians. oh... eh!
