It is searched about **27.1K** times a month on Google, worldwide (Google Ads, Sept 2026), at about $1.89 a click in search ads: a month of its searches would cost about **$51.2K** as search ads. Each site checked on the [backlink value checker](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value) adds its top five search keywords, so this list grows as sites are checked. ## Keyword intelligence - **27.1K** Google monthly search volume no change on Sept 2025 - **no change** Last 3 months vs 3 before steady - **55/100** Demand score moderate - **46/100** Keyword difficulty (US) possible - **Informational** Search intent wants to learn - **$1.89** Google Ads cost per click top-of-page bids $0.67–$5.17 - **4,260** Third-party estimated keyword demand Sept 2026 - **1** Sites getting visits from it Sept 2026 ### What the data says - Demand is steady: Google searches for “categories game” held steady at about 27.1K from Oct 2025 to Sept 2026. - Across 3 years, searches peak in May (about 66.8K) and are lowest in April (about 26.7K), a 2.5× swing: time content to be indexed before May. - The listed site takes about 2,390 visits a month from “categories game”, 56% of its 4,260 searches (traffic estimates). The other 44% goes to sites not on record here, or ends without a click. - At $1.89 a click (Google Ads), the listed sites' 2,390 visits a month from “categories game” would cost about $4,517 as search ads.

Read each for its trend, not as an exact count. ### 1Demand **Search demand, month by month** Google monthly search volume (Google Ads, worldwide) Third-party estimated keyword demand (right axis) Search demand, month by month.

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. ### 2Who gets the traffic **Share of the visits, Sept 2026** Each site's latest estimate of its visits from this keyword; “As ads”: those visits at its cost per click, what they would cost to buy; DR: Ahrefs Domain Rating; linking sites: sites linking to it (third-party link index). **Where these sites' visitors are** - United States 35% - United Kingdom 16% - Australia 9% - New Zealand 5% - Canada 5% - Other countries 30% The listed sites' own visitors by country (all their traffic), weighted by each site's visits from this keyword: their audience, not where the keyword is searched. **Phones and computers** - Phones 67% - Computers and tablets 33% Page loads of the listed sites by Chrome users (Chrome UX Report), weighted by each site's visits from this keyword: a site's device mix, not the keyword's.

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. --- Source: mxverify, "1 Site Where categories game Is a Top Search Keyword", https://mxverify.uk/keywords/categories-game (retrieved 2026-11-09).
