Top 1,528 Computer Keywords
Monthly search volume, CPC, competition and a 12-month trend for 1,528 computer keywords, updated October 2026.
Computer keywords range from hardware (laptop, desktop, parts, monitors) to software, repair and the basics people search when something stops working. It is a broad list; the product terms carry the CPC, the troubleshooting terms the volume.
The list holds 1,528 keywords with a combined 704,607,920 searches a month. The most searched are pki (124,000,000), google drive (37,200,000), apple (24,900,000), shell (24,900,000), chrome (16,600,000), email (16,600,000), google meet (13,600,000), icloud (13,600,000), microsoft (13,600,000) and zoom (13,600,000).
Advertisers pay most for exception handling ($11.02 a click), logic gates ($7.75 a click), ticketing systems ($7.73 a click), data masking ($6.96 a click) and distributed ledger ($6.90 a click). 18% of the keywords in the list cost $1 or more a click, which marks the commercial end of the niche.
Demand is steady through the year: across the list, the busiest and quietest months are within 1.1x of each other. The trend column shows each keyword's own twelve months.
Volumes are global monthly averages from Google; CPC is the top-of-page bid in US dollars; competition runs from 0 (few advertisers) to 1 (many). Last refreshed October 2026. For any other keyword, the free search volume checker gives the same numbers, and the Keywords Everywhere extension shows them inside Google as you search.
