What the data says

  • Demand is down on the year, now levelling off: Google searches for “canvas” fell 18% (226M to 185M) from Oct 2025 to Sept 2026; the last three months averaged 153.3M, 12% below the three before.
  • Searches peak in Oct 2025 (226M) and are lowest in Jul 2026 (124M), a 1.8× swing within the year: time content to be indexed before the peak.
  • The listed site takes about 2.6M visits a month from “canvas”, 43% of its 6M searches (traffic estimates). The other 57% goes to sites not on record here, or ends without a click.
  • At $1.17 a click (Google Ads), the listed sites' 2.6M visits a month from “canvas” would cost about $3.1M as search ads. That is what the traffic would cost to buy, not what it earns.

Google monthly search volume: Google Ads, worldwide, read 1 Nov 2026. Third-party estimated keyword demand is a separate source, many times apart in size, so it has its own axis at the right: read the two lines for their trends. Google Ads counts close spellings as one keyword: “canvas” has the same figures as “canva”, so these are the group's searches.

What to do with it

  • Strong demand but a hard first page (ease 10): aim at its related searches first and build links before the head term.
  • Google answers part of it in an AI Overview: the pages it cites get a link above the results.

Listed A–Z. A top search keyword is one of the searches that bring a site the most visitors, by estimate. It is not a position in Google, and the order here is not a ranking. Visits (est.): the traffic estimate's own figure for the keyword on that site, which behaves like visits a month, not an amount of money (2026-09-29: it had been shown in dollars). Ad value is what advertisers pay for the keyword — its searches × cost per click — not how hard it is to rank for. This page is kept out of search results until 15 sites share the keyword.

Searches, cost per click and ad value above: Google Ads, worldwide. Sites and their visits: third-party traffic estimates, Sept 2026. The traffic estimates' own searches figure for the keyword is in the section below; the two sources often differ several times over.
