Top 980 Finance Keywords
Monthly search volume, CPC, competition and a 12-month trend for 980 finance keywords, updated October 2026.
Finance is one of the most expensive niches to advertise in: loans, credit, investing, insurance and tax terms attract the highest CPCs on this site. The list mixes those commercial queries with the informational ones (what is a credit score, how to budget) that content sites rank for.
The list holds 980 keywords with a combined 156,569,340 searches a month. The most searched are sp 500 (16,600,000), capital adequacy ratio (7,480,000), income tax (7,480,000), dow jones industrial average (6,120,000), ftse 100 (5,000,000), goodwill (5,000,000), social security (5,000,000), banking (4,090,000), nasdaq (3,350,000) and nasdaq composite (3,350,000).
Advertisers pay most for income inequality ($94.42 a click), debt consolidation ($16.32 a click), receivables financing ($16.01 a click), collateral ($15.69 a click) and spread betting ($13.47 a click). 37% 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 1.2x 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.
