(1-25 of 27)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
Overall I think that Ahrefs is a better product when it comes to really drilling down and getting all the data that you need in order to understand a given behavior or problem. Ahrefs is much more powerful in its feature set but does not have the same level of overall data/visual data representation that Google Trends does.
We selected it because it is a free tool and it is made by Google.
They are both great tools. I prefer Google Trends because of the location capabilities and being able to go hyper-local. It does not however provide the details on cost and competition like SEM Rush does.

Google Trends is the new trend!
Google Trends is probably the easier of the many other Google platforms to identify keywords. I haven't used other keyword platforms because I don't trust them—I rather use a tool directly from Google to evaluate popular keywords. That being said, Google Trends is very limited with what you can and cannot do.

Easy To Use Product
I like using Google Trends because it gives you a clear visual of seasonal trends and compares multiple queries at once. However, I do prefer using other systems like SEMRush and Ahrefs because they are more detailed in the information they give you regarding your website and how specific keywords about the website in question.

Get Fast Results Comparing Keyword Phrases with Google Trends.
It's not really an either/or thing — I use the complete "Google Marketing Stack" including Analytics, Trends, Keyword Planner, Search Console, etc. It's also essential to integrate some of their data, like making sure Google Search Console and Google Analytics are connected — this provides insights to impressions and click-throughs from the Search Engine Results Page (SERP) for further refining keywords and meta descriptions. I also use tools like "Answer the Public" for keyword research, and of course, there are many others.

Google Trends is Neat!
Google Trends tends to be slightly more accurate than the other products, because Google has access to more user data for the algorithm to take into consideration when providing trends and information. We like this tool because it also aligns better with the Google tools we use (Google Ads and the like).

Google Trends offers a quick and easy way to assess how your company is being searched
Google Trends provides insights that are only available through Google, however, it does not include other important trends such as those on social media or via their competitors.

Google Trends is Insightful, Easy to Use, and Free!
- SEMRush, Buzzsumo, Google Search Console, Google Ads (formerly AdWords), Google Correlate, WordTracker and Suggestion Keyword Finder
One of the most obvious reasons why I chose Google trends over other keyword research platforms is because it's free. At the same time, it also has the most relevant and easy-to-use features out of the bunch. Google Trends does not have as many features as SEMRush or Buzzsumo, but those platforms come with a hefty price tag. Google Trends, to me, is the best free keyword research platform that exists and it would only be worth checking out the alternatives I mentioned if you're an established company with a large marketing budget.

A free tool every marketer needs
We used multiple platforms. Google Trends is just one of them! It's important to have multiple tools to check and reference back and forth. Google Trends is totally free for everybody so why not give it a try.

Predict search trends
I haven’t used any tools quite like Google Trends.

Google Trends and Your Customers
- Google Ads (formerly AdWords)
Other Google products I have used would be AdWords. I would use this along with that program since they do entirely different things.

Great platform to learn about trends
We use Google Search Console and Moz mostly for our website improvement, and Google Trends we use mostly to look for trends: what people are searching for now. Google Trends is free and has very clean, simple and understandable user interface, it gives lots of usable data for our marketers.
We haven't tried anything apart from Google Trends.
I haven't used any other services like Google Trends.

Find Your Inspiration with Google Trends
There really isn't a product I know of that does what Google Trends does. I do use https://soovle.com/ in a similar fashion. I recommend trying Soovle out for content ideation.

Great for quick check of keyword searches
- Google Adsense
Google AdSense is much more detailed, but requires the user to be logged in and have an active Google Adsense account, sometimes it's quicker to just use Google trends.

A great tool to analyze traffic trends on specific domains or events
Google Trends has the biggest source of data and is the most accurate. It cannot be used without any other tool because of its own limits (keyword suggestion, semantical analysis, etc.).

A fun addition to existing tools
Google Trends is sometimes a helpful supplement to other analytics and advertising tools, but it is not very useful as a standalone analysis tool. We have seen much more benefit from the intelligence and audience information built in to our other core tools. Better predictive or analysis options would increase its usefulness.

Google Trends lets you stay ahead of the game!
Google Trends and Open Web Analytics are both similar and different. While both products allow a user to track the popularity of a given webpage or search term, Google Trends is more effective in providing content and suggesting trends. Furthermore, I liked the ability to use Google Trends in a browser vs. having to download the software for Open Web Analytics.

Google Trends: A great place to start in content research
- Moz and Analytics SEO
Google Trends is a great place to start in the content curation, content research, blog post writing, and resource page creation process. It is not, however, a place to do serious SEO optimization. Tools like Moz, or Analytics SEO would be a better place to go after you do initial research on Google Trends to dial in your keywords, and optimize content for search engines.
I have not gone into other competitive products.

Great to help you compare quick hunches
- Google keyword tool and Moz
They're different tools and thus have overlap, but still do quite different jobs. So there really is no exact comparison, in free to use tools, to Google Trends out there. If it could generate periodic reports it would be even better.
Other tools can be quite complimentary to Trends, since they may help you come up with basic directions or deepen the list of specific keywords.
