Why it is hard today

Assistants guess

A chatbot asked "how many people search for this" answers from old training data, with confident numbers that no tool ever measured.

Keyword Planner hides the numbers

Without an active ad budget, Google shows ranges like "1K–10K", and its API needs an approved developer token.

Copy, paste, repeat

Export a CSV, clean it, paste it into the chat, ask again for the next country. Each step loses context.

Two search engines, two tools

Bing's numbers live in Microsoft Advertising and Bing Webmaster Tools, each with its own export.
