Are you wondering what people in the United States

Are you wondering what people in the United States (and around the World) are searching for the most? Then you’re in luck!

We’ve just uploaded fresh data from December into Keywords Explorer—our monstrous keywords database—and naturally, we wanted to know which Google searches were most popular this month.

SIDENOTE.

 the total size of Ahrefs’ keywords database is now 7.4 BILLION keywords (3.1 billion of which are Google search queries from the United States alone). Which makes our database the biggest one in our industry.

We have pulled two lists for the United States:

• Top100 most searched keywords in the US—a list of terms with the highest average monthly search volume as of today;
• Top100 new keywords in the US in December—a list of the most popular search queries that we haven’t seen up until December.

And then we also pulled these “best new keywords in December” across all countries in our database, which turned out quite interesting as well.

So here you go:

Top 100 Google search queries in the US (in December 2018)

Unsurprisingly, this list is almost entirely dominated by branded searches. But we have decided to leave the list as is so that you could see the full picture.
