What does this mean?
Understanding google keyword search volume is a broad estimate not a real indicator of market opportunity. It’s easy to waste money on Google Ads, as people change their mind and search differently all the time. Lots of money is wasted on SEO chasing keywords which don’t really have that much search volume.
